Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the energy requirement of sprinkler irrigation established in different crops in Konya-Çumra irrigation district. The properties such as water resource, pumping unit, systems equipments, operation pressure, sprinkler’s spacing of the sprinkler systems were investigated and determined with regards to crops. The results showed that sprinkler irrigation systems operated and planned in five different-forms when considered their water resources and pumping units. The research was conducted on totally 69 sprinkler systems. In study, diesel fuel or electric energy, equipment manufacture energy and labour energy consumption of the sprinkler systems were determined. According to results; in sprinkler irrigation systems induced moto-pomp, the annual energy consumptions of per unit area (1 ha) for diesel fuel, equipment energy and labour energy were found as 14107, 923 and 44 MJ ha-1 year-1 on average, respectively. In centrifugal pumping systems induced by power take-off shaft, these values were computed to be 21458, 3700 and 41 MJ ha-1 year-1, respectively. In vertical axle pump system induced by power take-off shaft, the annual energy consumptions of per unit area (1 ha) for diesel fuel, equipment energy and labour energy were computed as 35748, 3873 and 40 MJ ha-1 year-1. In vertical axle pump induced by electric motor, this values were calculated to be 35491, 1164 and 42 MJ ha-1 year-1 and in submersible pumping systems this values were computed as 38850, 1321 and 37 MJ ha-1 year-1, respectively

Abstract

Bu çalışma, farklı bitkilerde, yağmurlama sulamanın enerji tüketimine tespit etmek amacıyla Konya-Çumra sulama şebekesi alanında yürütülmüştür. Bölgede uygulanan yağmurlama sistemlerinin su kaynağı, basınç kaynağı, sistem elemanları, işletme basınçları, başlık tertip esasları gibi özellikleri yerinde inceleme ve gözlemler yapılmak suretiyle belirlenmiştir. Su kaynağı ve basınç kaynağı dikkate alındığında beş farklı yağmurlama sisteminin planlanıp işletildiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bu beş grup dikkate alınarak toplam 69 yağmurlama tesisi üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, sistemlerin dizel yakıt veya elektrik enerjisi, ekipman üretim enerjisi ve işgücü enerji tüketimi belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre; yüzey su kaynaklarından sulama yapan yağmurlama sistemlerinde birim alana yıllık enerji tüketimi; dizel veya elektrik enerjisi, ekipman üretim enerjisi ve insan işgücü enerjisi olarak sırasıyla motopomplu sistemlerde; ortalama 14107, 923 ve 44 MJ ha-1 yıl-1, kuyruk mili ile tahrik edilen santrifüj pompalı sistemlerde; 21458, 3700 ve 41 MJ ha-1 yıl-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Aynı değerler yeraltı su kaynaklarından sulama yapan yağmurlama sistemlerinden kuyruk mili ile tahrik edilen düşey milli pompalı sistemlerde; 35748, 3873 ve 40 MJ ha-1 yıl-1, elektrik motoru ile tahrik edilen düşey milli pompalı sistemlerde; 35491, 1164 ve 42 MJ ha-1 yıl-1, dalgıç pompalı sistemlerde ise 38850, 1321 ve 37 MJ ha-1 yıl-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır.
