Water Management &
Distribution System

2. In this system all canals receive water by turns and
farmers on the tertiary canals or watercourses receive
water at a pre-set time and in the allowed quantity.
This system is an improvement on the previous one
where the rotation is not only of the main canals
receiving water but also of the farms. It is a highly
efficient system from the operational point of view and
socially fair since it gives an equal chance to everyone.
Rotational system

3. There are several ways in which a rotational
system can be implemented
i.The water is distributed by turns of equal duration throughout the
irrigation season. The farmer receives the water on a fixed day for an
amount of time that is always constant, regardless of the crops that
he may plant.
ii. The water is distributed by turns of different duration, longer at the
beginning and end of the irrigation season and shorter in the middle,
according to crop demand. The order of distribution within each turn
is always the same and the amount delivered is constant throughout
the season.
iii. The water is distributed by turns of different durations and the
amount delivered also changes throughout the season. The amount
delivered is calculated according to the actual crop water
requirements.
