Abstract

A computer program has been developed for design of surface and pressurized irrigation systems. The program includes two main parts: crop water requirements and hydraulic calculations of the system. It has been developed in Visual Basic 6.0 and gives opportunity for selecting some parameters from tables such as: agro-physical soil properties, characteristics of the corresponding crop, climatic data. It allows the user of the program to assume and set a definite value, for example the emitter discharge, plot parameters and etc. It includes the design of lateral, manifold, main line and pump calculations. The program has been compiled to work in Windows. This software is userfriendly and provides interaction at all stages of the design process and a solution based on individual's requirements and the information base available within the software. The individual not only can suit to his requirement but can also compare his design with several other alternate designs with different inputs. Design of system arrived by this software was tested with manual calculations at developer's level and results were found satisfactory.
