Дефицит воды, низкое качество техники полива

DUV 2/0.005-10 Water Level Sensor

Технология полива пшеницы широкозахватной дождевальной машиной Valley

The DUV 2/0,005-10 Sensor was deployed and demonstrated its efficiency in Jambyl and Southern Kazakhstan Regions.  It allowed to visually and in real-time observe the dynamics of water level fluctuations and completely exclude manual operations and subjectivity in the process of taking readings – a relevant task in the environment of transition to market economy.

Water level sensors were installed in 17 hydro-posts in Southern Kazakhstan Region (Maktaaral District).  In Jambyl Region, the same sensors were installed in 3 hydro-posts in Merke District.

Results:

Technical:

a) immediate data exchange on water volume passing through every water lead to the fields of agricultural producers (farms) as well as automatic transfer of this information to stakeholder organizations (branch of “Kazvodkhoz” Republican State Enterprise (RSE), etc.);

b) archiving the data coming from hydro-posts with its subsequent processing in the form of reports.

Technical and economic:

1) “all in one” – all components of DUV 2/0.005-10 are assembled into one unit/casing, do not require any additional modules and adjustments, i.e. it is an out-of-the-box universal tool to execute monitoring of water reserves irrespective of the availability of power supply and other technical and weather conditions.  The simple Sensor’s design facilitates installation and start-up and commissioning, as well as allows minimizing labor costs;

2) DUV 2/0.005-10 is flexible in terms of installation, data transfer methods, measurement subject (water level or hydro-lock position, etc.);

3) the cost of the measuring unit is 3-4 times less compared to currently available alternatives;

4) DUV 2/0.005-10 designed architecture allows increasing the number of controlled points and performing an integrated monitoring of the whole network.

Дождевальная установка произведена американской компанией Valley. Компания работает с 1946 года, находится в числе мировых лидеров в сфере проектирования и производства экономичного оросительного и водоснабжающего оборудования для сельского хозяйства, промышленности и коммунальной сферы.

Мероприятия:

Подобного масштаба дождевальная машина впервые применена в практике туркменского агропроизводства. Для орошения она не требует тщательно спланированного поля. Оросительная способность (до 300 гектаров) обусловлена конструкцией и длиной сооружения, которая составляет 1000 метров. Фронтальная установка с оросительными пролетами на опорах перемещается вперед и назад по полю, обеспечивая равномерную подачу воды по всей площади посевов.

Правительством предоставляется льготный кредит на 10 лет с годовой ставкой всего в 1%.

Результаты:

Внедрение дождевальных установок позволяет сэкономить водные ресурсы в два раза и повысить урожайность.

Ввиду своих качеств и преимуществ технология заинтересовала туркменских сельхозпроизводителей; поступило немало заказов на приобретение и установку умных машин.

Lessons learnt:

Deployment of the DUV 2/0.005-10 Water Level Sensor led to increased precision of water level and consumption measurements and higher promptness of information collection compared to any known methods.

Using the device in the conditions of water resources deficiency, on the one hand, will ensure objective accounting of water use and, on the other hand, will promote water conservation among water users which will lead to more efficient technological development of agro-industrial complex and higher labor productivity.

Recommendations:

The success of deploying water level sensors in project hydro-posts facilitated execution of measures to disseminate the positive experience of using the device in the water sector.  Their effect will be even more significant as enhanced quantity and quality indicators will ensure effective management of water resources and water conservation with simultaneous development of irrigated agriculture.

Уроки:

Преимущество дождевальной машины
• оснащена элементами для внесения в почву удобрений; 
• обработки средствами защиты растений от болезней, вредителей, сорняков; 
• способно заменить трактора с опрыскивателями; 
• не требуются сезонные полевые работы; 
• низкие затраты на сельхозпроизводство;

Рекомендации:

После успешной практики были заявлены и другие кандидаты для орошения дождеванием (дайханское объединение «Ашык Айдын» этрапа Рухубелент Дашогузского велаята, где уже установили на 174 га другой тип дождевальной установки). Так как Ахалская область находится близко к столице, то нужно больше внедрить водосберегающие технологии на садово-бахчевых культурах для решения продовольственных проблем.
