Abstract

Tarımsal sulama, tarım sektörünün sürdürülebilirliği ve verimliliği açısından kritik bir unsur teşkil etmektedir. Sınırlı su kaynaklarının etkin kullanımı, dünya genelindeki tarımsal üretim biçimlerinde büyük önem kazanmıştır. Pompa tipleri, sulama sistemlerinin kalbinde yer almakta olup, suyun hareketini sağlayarak sulama etkinliğini belirleyen ana etkenlerden biri olarak öne çıkar. Pompa seçiminde göz önünde bulundurulması gereken parametreler arasında dağıtım mesafesi, yükseklik farkları ve suyun debisi gibi teknik özellikler bulunmaktadır. Enerji verimliliği, tarımsal sulama sistemlerinde bir diğer önemli kavramdır. Su pompasının enerji tüketimi hem ekonomik hem de çevresel açıdan belirleyici bir faktördür. Enerji verimliliği, sulama sisteminin toplam maliyetlerini azaltırken aynı zamanda işletmenin karbon ayak izinin minimize edilmesine katkı sağlar. Gelişmiş teknoloji ve yenilikçi pompa dizaynları, daha az enerji harcayarak daha fazla su taşıma kapasitesi sunabilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, pompa tiplerinin enerji verimliliği boyutunu araştırmak, tarımsal sulamanın geleceği için kritik bir rol oynar. Güvenilir ve sürdürülebilir pompa çözümleri, çiftçilerin hem ekolojik dengeyi korumalarına hem de üretimlerini artırmalarına olanak sağlar. Dolayısıyla, bu çalışma, tarımsal sulamadaki pompa çözümlerinin yeterliliğini ve etkinliğini irdeleyerek, sürdürülebilir tarım uygulamalarına ışık tutmayı hedeflemektedir.

Investigation of Pump Selection and Energy Efficiency in Agricultural Irrigation Systems

Abstract

Agricultural irrigation is a critical component for the sustainability and productivity of the agricultural sector. Irrigation systems must be carefully selected to meet the water needs of agricultural areas and improve product quality. Pump types are at the center of irrigation systems and stand out as one of the main factors that determine irrigation efficiency by ensuring water movement. The parameters to consider when selecting a pump include technical features such as distribution distance, elevation differences, and water flow. Energy efficiency is also an important concept in agricultural irrigation systems. The energy consumption of a water pump is a determining factor in both economic and environmental terms. While energy efficiency reduces the overall cost of the irrigation system, it also helps minimize the company’s carbon footprint. Advanced technology and innovative pump designs provide more water transfer capacity with less energy consumption. Therefore, investigating the energy efficiency dimension of pump types plays a critical role for the future of agricultural irrigation. Reliable and sustainable pump solutions allow farmers to maintain the ecological balance and increase production. Therefore, the aim of this study is to shed light on sustainable agricultural practices by examining the adequacy and efficiency of pump solutions in agricultural irrigation.
