Evaluation of the performance of irrigation associations in Antalya Region-Aksu Plain
Abstract
When the performance of irrigation systems is made clear, irrigation water used in agriculture can be planned better and used more efficiently. Thus, water efficiency in irrigation can be at maximum level. It is the aim of this study to find out the irrigation intensity ratio (IIR), water use ratio (WUR), flow delivery ratio (FDR) and financial performances of five irrigation districts. In this study, the data which was gathered in 2014 from 5 irrigation districts in Aksu Plain, Antalya (Aksu-güney, Aksu-Karaöz, Aksu-Kuzey, Aksu-Orta and Aksu-Perge). IIR values were found to change between 0.81 and 0.98. The fact that IIR values are close to 1 reveals that the planning done prior to and during the irrigation season are close to one another. WUR values were found to change between 0.94 and 1.59. When WUR values are above 1, it can be suggested that more water than planned is given to the unit of area. Average FDR values were found to change between 0.92 and 1.33. The fact that FDR value is close to 1 reveals that water distribution is close to the planned or targeted rates.
