Recently the use of irrigation systems design programs is considered one of the most important programs because of its many benefits represented in obtaining the optimal design specifications for different irrigation systems, which leads to maximize both water application efficiency and water use efficiency (WUE) along the irrigation network, especially drip irrigation, while the random design of Irrigation systems affect the regularity and efficiency of water distribution, which negatively affects the production of different crops. Hence, the main objective of this research was to apply the HydroCalc program as one of the irrigation system design programs to choose the optimal design of the drip irrigation system for a new farm in the reclamation areas of the European countryside in Giza province. The coordinates of the study area were raised using a GPS device, which extends over an area of 138 ha. The HydroCalc program was used to choose the appropriate diameters and lengths of pipes, as well as calculate the pressure losses for the irrigation network to be designed. The engineering drawing program (AutoCAD) was used to divide the arable areas into plots and draw the appropriate irrigation network and determine its dimensions that were designed with the HydroCalc. In conclusion, the application of using the HydroCalc program helped to choose the appropriate design for the irrigation system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
