  • Drainage et irrigation (Agriculture)
DEF

[...] (du forage à la borne d'irrigation) [...] rapport du volume d'eau pompé au forage sur celui à la sortie des bornes d'irrigation.

CONT

[...] nous avons défini trois types d'efficiences hydrauliques : Ed : efficience de distribution et d'adduction [...] Ea : efficience d'application [...] Ete : efficience des techniques d'irrigation [...]

CONT

Les pertes d'eau dans le réseau de distribution et d'adduction. [...] Parmi ces pertes qui peuvent avoir plusieurs origines, on peut distinguer les pertes normales et quasi obligatoires d'exploitation qui se manifestent par la présence des vannes usées sous l'effet des manipulations répétées, des ventouses censées dégager l'air emprisonné dans le réseau, ne sont pas fonctionnelles, et des canalisations suite à un aménagement défectueux du lit de pose des conduites, qui ont une mauvaise étanchéité. Ces pertes sont estimées par le bureau d'étude APIOS à 10 % soit une efficience de distribution et d'adduction de l'eau du forage jusqu'à la borne d'irrigation d'environ 90 %.
