Book (series)Mapping System and Services for Pressurized irrigation systems – MASSPRES 2024
Also available in:
No results found.FAO's Irrigation and Drainage Paper No. 63 introduced the MASSCOTE methodology in 2007, tailored for modernizing large-scale canal irrigation systems. With global interest shifting towards pressurized pipe systems, particularly in water-scarce regions, the need for a similar methodology became apparent. Pressurized systems offer advantages like on-demand irrigation, reduced water wastage, and environmental impact. However, they require complex management due to changing water demands.To address this, FAO developed the MASSPRES approach, building on MASSCOTE's principles. MASSPRES aims to assess and enhance the performance of pressurized irrigation schemes, introducing steps like the Rapid Appraisal Procedure (RAP) for system mapping. It offers innovative methods for evaluating pressures and discharges at farm hydrants under various operating conditions, replacing earlier statistical analysis approaches. MASSPRES incorporates indicators for capacity, reliability, distribution equity, sensitivity to change, and perturbation risks into user-friendly software. Practical examples from Egypt, Italy, Spain, and Tunisia showcase its effectiveness. As governments seek to improve water and food production amidst increasing water scarcity, adopting technologies like pressurized irrigation becomes crucial. MASSPRES provides a systematic framework for both upgrading existing systems and designing future ones, addressing the complexities of managing pressurized irrigation efficiently. -
Book (stand-alone)Performance Analysis of On-demand Pressurized Irrigation Systems
FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper 59
2000Also available in:
No results found.Pressurized irrigation systems working on demand were the object of considerable attention in the sixties and seventies and a considerable number of them were designed and implemented in the Mediterranean basin mainly but also in other parts of the world. The present publication has as its main objective the development of a computer tool that permits the diagnosis of performance of pressurized irrigation systems functioning on demand (also under other conditions), but also provides new and revised criteria for the design of such irrigation networks.
