Combine Information

Nowadays, irrigation is becoming an activity of precision, whereby it is necessary to combine information collected from various sources to manage resources in an optimal way. New management strategies, such as big data techniques, sensors, artificial intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and new technologies in general, are becoming more relevant every day. Related to this, modeling techniques, both at the water distribution network and at farm level, will be essential to gather information from various sources and offer useful recommendations for decision-making processes. In this Special Issue, ten high-quality papers were selected that cover a wide range of issues that are relevant to the different aspects related to irrigation management: water source and distribution network, plot irrigation systems and crop water management.

The book; under review provides a valuable account of the issues and factors in managing the irrigation system, and presents a lucid and thorough discussion on the performance of the irrigation bureaucracies. It comprises two parts: the first outlines the factors affecting irrigation performance under a wide range of topics in the first five chapters. In Chapter One, the authors have attempted to assess the performance of the irrigation bureaucracies, conceptualise irrigation management issues, and build an empirical base for analysis while drawing upon the experience of ten country cases in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The Second Chapter focuses on the variations in the management structures identified and the types of irrigation systems; and it defines the variables of the management structures. The activities and objectives of irrigation management are discussed in Chapter Three. The objectives include: greater production and productivity of irrigation projects; improved water distribution; reduction in conflicts; greater resource mobilisation and a sustained system performance. The authors also highlight the performance criterion in this chapter. They identify about six contextual factors which affect the objectives and the performance of irrigation, which are discussed in detail in Chapter Four. In Chapter Five, some organisational variables, which would lead to improvements in irrigation, are examined.

Acoustic survey methods have been used in recent years in Greece due to rapid growth of technology for leakage detection in water distribution networks. The application of the latest methodologies and technologies allowed water authorities to improve the efficiency of their water supply networks. Thessaloniki’s water distribution network is an aging and inefficient one so the use of these methods in the last fifteen years has considerably improved the utility’s capability to reduce the losses of drinking water. The use of acoustic loggers on network fittings that record leakage noise in fixed time steps has a considerable effect in Thessaloniki’s water distribution network, which is characterized by a high level of complexity. A major challenge facing Thessaloniki Water Supply and Sewerage CO S.A. (EYATH S.A.) is how to deal with high levels of water loss, and acoustic survey methods are now seen as having an increasingly wide range of benefits, not only including environmental and water conservation benefits of reducing leak flow rate but also improving its performance in water loss management. The paper presents the implementation of the acoustic survey method for leakage detection and reduction in various field areas of Thessaloniki and the interconnected municipalities. Key parameters have been taken included, such as the complexity of water distribution network, the reliability of available mapping, the established zones with respective flow metering, and the existence of high background noise. Results are analyzed in order to examine the efficiency of the acoustic logging technology.

<strong>Abstract. </strong>In Timor-Leste, supplying clean water is the responsibility of Serviço de Água e Saneamento (SAS). The study area is in Zone I, locates in Comoro, Dili. The service area uses groundwater as the water source with two types of reservoirs; rectangular and cylinder. <strong>Objectives</strong>: This study aims to evaluate the existing condition of the water distribution network (WDN) in Zone I by using the Epanet 2.0 software. The development of the WDN begins with projecting the population with 10-year planning using the Geometric, Arithmetic, and Exponential methods. <strong>Method and results</strong>: The collection data is through observations in the study area as primary data. Secondary data is collecting SAS data, such as the map of water pipelines, piping data, pump data, reservoir data, and consumers' numbers. Processing data is the use of MS. Excel to calculate the population size, water demand, and identifying the pipelines of Zone I through QGIS. Followed by Epanet 2.0, with WDN data, the result is then evaluated with the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works No. 18 Year 2007 (No.18/PRT/M/2007). <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The results show that the WDN in Zone I have met the pressure requirement from No.18/PRT/M/2007 with an average flow of 19.57 litres/second. However, velocity still needs improvements since it did not meet the criteria; it suggests adding pump stations and reservoirs where the velocity did not meet the criteria. For the projection year in 2030, the estimated population is 26,057, with an average daily total water requirement of 48.46 litres/second.

Human Need

The availability of water is very important for human life, because water is a major human need. It is very important to plan a well-managed water supply system. Tlogoagung Village, Kembangbahu sub-district, Lamongan regency is one of the villages that have not yet a clean water distribution network, so it is necessary to plan clean water distribution network. The source of water used is the water source of the lake in the village. Clean water network system by making intake in lake then pumped to reservoir of distribution. Furthermore, it is distributed to the residential connection service area of the population with gravity system. A clean water network system is planned to meet the needs of clean water up to 2037. Clean water demand is calculated based on population projection by using linear analysis. From the calculation, the need of clean water in Tlogoagung village, Kembangbahu sub-district of Lamongan regency in 2036 with the population of 4431 populations reach 7,431 ltr / sec, for transmission pipes using pipes with 4 inch or 0.1016 m diameters. For distribution pipes using 3 inch diameter pipes 0.0762 m or 2 inch diameter or 0.0508, diameter 1 ½ or 0.0381 m, diameter 1 inch or 0.0254 m.

Scarce Water

In light of the increasing and pressing need to efficiently manage scarce water resources, there has been renewed interest by water distribution network owners to develop and implement water management strategies and tools that would assist in the integrated and automated management of those networks. Such asset management strategies should assist the network owners to evaluate the condition of the water distribution network, assess historical incident data (leakage or breakage) and risk of failure, visualise areas of high risk, propose “repair or replace” strategies and prioritise the work based on the inherent risk and cost of action. The methodology and support system outlined in this paper can form an integral part of a leakage management strategy and provide a useful decision-making tool. The work presented outlines an integrated methodology and a decision support system for arriving at such “repair-or-replace” decisions, as part of a long-term pipeline asset management program that could be undertaken by a water utility to improve on the reliability of the water distribution networks.
