The emitters, which are attached to laterals, distribute water to plant root zones. Laterals are normally made of polyethylene PE with diameters 12 to 20 mm in range, providing better flushing, easy installation and maintenance characteristics.
Manifold and mainline are either in medium density polyethylene PE or rigid PVC with diameters 20 to mm in range. Emitters are of many kinds, such as, orifices, nozzles, porous pipes, microtubes, etc. Then, water is distributed by its normal movement through the soil profile. Plate 1.
The code looks a lot like English Language. Most people prefer to use Microsoft Visual Basic today, as it is a well-developed programming language and supporting resources are available everywhere.
In VB, programming is done in a graphical environment. However, in VB, one just needs to drag and drop any graphical object anywhere on the form, and you can change its color any time using the properties window.
On the other hand, because the user may click on certain object randomly, each object has to be programmed independently to be able to respond to those actions events. Therefore, a VB Program is made up of many subprograms, each has its own program code, and each can be executed independently and at the same time, each can be linked together in one way or another. Ramana Table 3. Main line losses Frictional head losses occur in mainline In general 10m pressure is required for non pressure Operating pressure compensating dripper and 15m for pressure compensating dripper Loss in fittings like bends, elbows, tees, reducers, and Fitting losses valves…..
Software for the design and development of drip irrigation system was developed with visual basic software. The following as the summary of the results. This software can be run successfully depending on the situation and design can be made for different crops. This tool is very much useful for the technical people working in drip irrigation companies and allied fields. Eduardo, A. Design and management of irrigation systems.

Selection of Emitter or Drippers No. II Effected wetted area by one Emitter Total no. VIII Diameter of the lateral is selected from the available sizes of pipe diameter 12mm, 16mm and 20mm. Considering the thickness of the pipeline the inside diameter of the pipeline is selected.
If the frictional head loss is less than 1. If the frictional head loss is less than 0. The software has been developed following his flow chart given below in Figure 2. Then we to select the number of dripper per plant it can be calculated by the formulae or it can be approximately taken from practical experience.
Of plant, total no. Dripper used in the field, length of lateral and discharge rate of lateral. This the final output pages for the drip irrigation system design where from we can obtain overall idea about the design and installation.
It is easy to design for drip irrigation system with help of this simple software. Estimation of material requirement can be worked out and as well as the cost of installation. The software can be used for all type of crops that can be irrigated by drip irrigation. It is a friendly tool for engineers and even for Progressive farmers.

Jain Brothers Limited Michael, A. This software is used for the designing, operation, and evaluation of three types of surface irrigation namely Basin, Furrow, and Border. To handle calculations for different surface irrigation methods, it offers dedicated modules namely Basdev for basin irrigation , Bordev for border irrigation , and Furdev for furrow irrigation. Through available modules, you can calculate various irrigation parameters like water flow rate, cutoff time, minimum depth, fix flow, cutback flow, etc.
In this software, you cannot directly enter values for the calculation, hence you can use predefined. It is another decent irrigation design software through which you can find important irrigation parameters for three different types of surface irrigation methods. Water Balance is one more free irrigation design software for Windows. This software is primarily used to minimize water usage in order to converse water resources. However, it also comes in handy to estimate the right amount of water your fields need in different months.
To estimate the amount of water your fields need, you need to specify some parameters in this software like Site Characteristics, Crop Coefficients of each month, Available Water, etc. According to the entered data, it gives you various output graphs as results which you can save in PDF format.
It is another good irrigation design software through which you can estimate the right amount of water needed by your crops by using output graphs and values. Note : You need to have Java in your system to run this software. Wetup is another one of free irrigation design software for Windows. Through this software, you can estimate the wetting pattern of dippers , in order to improve the water and nutrient efficiency given to a field.
The good thing about this software is that it shows the visual representation of water penetration in the field. At a time, you can run two separate simulations to find water penetration in a field using different input parameters.
It is simple to use irrigation design software through which you can find out the area of water penetration in your field. Passionate about tech and science, always look for new tech solutions that can help me and others. Home Page. Download Page. About Us. Provide details to get this offer.
