Abstract

There are many problems related to pipe network rehabilitation, the main one being how to provide an increase in the hydraulic capacity of a system. Most of the Slovak irrigation pipe networks are branched, which is case elsewhere. A possible approach to increasing the hydraulic capacity of such system s is to convert them to looped networks (thereby providing alternative pathways) and increase their hydraulic capacity with minimum capital investment. In this work authors deal with application of simulation and optimization models for water manage ment of existing sprinkler irrigation distribution systems, mainly in the case that rehabilitation of such systems is needed. A case study of the sprinkler irrigation system Tomasovo - Malinovo (south-west part of Slovakia) is presented in detail.
