Irrigation Management. To propose a useful water management advice, we need to ensure direct and accurate determination of the optimal irrigation time and amount of irrigation. Determining the irrigation time is achieved by introducing critical water scarcity values derived from the time-gradient analysis of the soil moisture profile along the active root and hydrodynamic parameters of the plants. For this purpose, precise knowledge of the spatial distribution of the active bedrock is required in conjunction with the continuous recording of soil moisture. The optimal irrigation dose is determined as the sum of daily water absorption values from the crop after the last irrigation. Also, given the high solubility of nutrients in the water, a significant change in nutrient concentrations should be expected with the adoption of a new water management strategy. To control the above hypothesis, the kinetic of nutrient elements at different depths along the plants' active roots need to be recorded continuously. To this end, the gaiasense system provides soil moisture and soil salinity sensors capable of recording the status at different depths levels. The measurements are integrated into the models that calculate - on a forecast basis - when the water reservoir will reach a minimum. This information is processed by qualified advisors who are responsible for creating the respective agricultural advice.
Irrigation Management. 1. The Contractor shall retain full responsibility for the maintenance, upkeep, winterization, and use of all irrigation systems located in the Neighborhood.
Irrigation Management. The current policy and institutional issues that affect irrigation system performance include: (i) multiple overlapping of agencies (particularly the overlap in responsibilities between the DOI, MASL, Department of Agrarian Development, and Provincial Councils) involved in the construction, management and O&M of irrigation schemes, which is causing duplication and inefficient use of manpower and institutional resources;
Irrigation Management. The LESSEE takes delivery of water from the City of San Diego. The lease has access to potable and recycled water through the City of San Diego. All costs, fees, and taxes from the production and delivery of water must be borne by the LESSEE. The City of San Diego Public Utilities Department can be contacted at (000) 000-0000 (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/public-utilities). The LESSEE must provide pertinent irrigation equipment, including motors, pumps, filters, valve openers, surface and underground irrigation water lines. The LESSEE shall repair, at LESSEE’s sole cost and expense, all damage to underground or aboveground LEASED PROPRTY that may result from any activities related to the LEASE. The LESSEE shall maintain, at LESSEE’s sole cost and expense, all valves and risers in a watertight condition, so as to prevent unwanted water leakage and ponding. The LESSEE will not be allowed to make any modifications, additions or deletions in or to the GOVERNMENT-owned irrigation system without prior written approval from the Real Estate Contracting Officer.
Irrigation Management. The selected Contractor will be solely responsible for the maintenance and proper operation of all irrigation systems. All sprinkler heads are to be adjusted as necessary for unimpeded coverage and to minimize overspray and water waste. Weekly inspections shall be performed of all irrigation systems, and the Contract Manager shall be notified within 24 hours of any and all irrigation problems. Repairs to correct irrigation problems shall be performed within 24 hours of notification/discover of irrigation problems. If repairs are not made within 24 hours, the Contract Manager may outsource the needed repairs and deduct the billable amount from the monthly billing for that landscaped section. Irrigation Lateral Lines – 1” or less in size
Irrigation Management. Positioning and repositioning head gates for irrigation and stock watering throughout irrigation season (and to a lesser extent through the winter season) as crop demand, stock water needs, and water supply dictate. • Start pump at Pump Diversion. • Ongoing maintenance, management, and repair of boulder weirs. • Maintain measuring device(s). Irrigation Maintenance • Diversion intake maintenance and cleaning; • Operation and maintenance of diversion measuring devices; • Board or tarp removal/placement in ditches; • Pump maintenance; • Ditch cleaning and maintenance, including concrete lined sections; • Operation and maintenance of fish screen, e.g., cleaning; • Tailwater berm maintenance.
Irrigation Management. Irrigation on the Enrolled Property is a combination of flood irrigation utilizing GID and Shasta Water User Association irrigation and some groundwater/surface water pressurized pumping for center pivot irrigation. A series of developed sump ponds is used to collect and reuse the Enrolled Property’s tail water. This water is recirculated on the Enrolled Property and to keep tailwater from returning to the Shasta River. Related to the Belcampo - North Annex Property, Belcampo does not own or operate any points of diversion within the SWCG boundary and is not seeking coverage for the act of diverting water. No water rights or diversions are included to be covered within this Site Plan Agreement. Permittee does not have surface water rights within the Shasta Water Conservation Group (SWCG) boundary for the Belcampo North Annex property, other than water diverted and provided by the Grenada Irrigation District, a separate entity and Permittee. Permittee also receives water from the Shasta Water Users Association, an irrigation entity with a point of diversion located outside of the SWCG boundary.
Irrigation Management. Xxxxxxx Ditch: The Xxxxxxx Ditch irrigates approximately 569.8 acres total. The Xxxxxxx Ditch is operated by the Xxxxxxx Ditch Association. The Xxxxxxx Ditch is identified within the Shasta River Decree (Diversion 250, Paragraph 124) and has an identified maximum diversion capacity of 11.9 cfs from April 1 through September 30 annually. Xxxxxxx Ditch can divert approximately 4,318 acre feet throughout the irrigation season (4/1-9/30). The identified winter diversion right on the Xxxxxxx is 5 cfs. Permittee irrigates approximately 182 acres with the Xxxxxxx Ditch and is identified as having 33.5% of volume of the Xxxxxxx water right. In 2011, Xxxxxxx Ditch added a point of diversion as part of a large water conservation and protection project. The Xxxxxxx point of diversion was moved from the Grenada Irrigation District point of diversion to a selected location on property owned by Rice Livestock Company, located approximately 31,300' feet downstream from the previously identified POD. A northern lateral pipe delivers water to the Xxxxxxx Ditch. The project eliminated the conveyance of water through 7,000' of inefficient open ditch, which is currently abandoned. The project has increased efficiency and delivery volumes overall. As a result of the project implemented in 2011, 11.9 cfs remains instream for 31,300' before being diverted at the second point of diversion. Xxxxxxx Ditch Association now pumps Xxxxxxx Ditch water from Shasta River rather than gravity diversion via the previous diversion point. Instead of the practice of continuous diversion prior to the project implementation in 2011, Permittee currently uses approximately 110 acre feet per 15 day irrigation rotation. They have 13 irrigation rotations typically occur per year, equating to approximately 1,447acre feet per year for the Permittee from the Xxxxxxx Ditch. Assuming current use of 1,447 acre-feet annually on an estimated 182 acres, approximately 7.95 acre-feet of water is applied per acre annually. Irrigation Maintenance
Irrigation Management. Controllers shall be adjusted to Urban Habitat sustainable practices and for the healthy growth of landscape areas. Repeat cycles will be utilized to eliminate water run-off and aid in water conservation. System operation shall be set at night or early mornings to reduce water evaporation and adhere to local water conservation practices. Irrigation will be adjusted and cleaned as necessary for maximum efficiency. Sprinkler heads shall be kept clear of overgrowth, debris, or obstructions. All irrigation systems shall be tested and observed to verify effectiveness and ensure proper system operation.
Irrigation Management. The Lessee shall use science-based irrigation scheduling practices. These practices shall match the irrigation water application to the water requirements of each crop being grown to promote efficiency, improve crop yield, and minimize water quality impairment. Irrigation methods shall be used to ensure proper amounts of water are delivered to the plants in a timely fashion. Mass Soil Movement and Gully Erosion. Lessee shall apply farming practices that limit the potential for mass soil movement and gully erosion.
