INTRODUCTION TO HYDRAULICS ENGINEERING

• Hydraulics is a branch of fluid mechanics which deals with the


study/response of water at rest or in motion.

• Hydraulic engineering is the application of fluid mechanics principles to


problems dealing with the collection, storage, control, transport, regulation,
measurement and use of water.

• The term ‘hydraulics’ is related to the application of the Fluid Mechanics


principles to water engineering structures, civil and environmental
engineering facilities, especially hydraulic structures (e.g. canal, river, dam,
reservoir and water treatment plant).

INTRODUCTION TO IRRIGATION ENGINEERING

“Application of water on an agricultural land for the assured growth of plant life”
(Priyani 1979).

“Science of Artificial Application of Water to the land, in accordance to the ‘crop


requirements’, through out the ‘crop period’ for full fledge nourishment of crop” (SK
GARG, 1999)

“Irrigation is the art of applying water to the land by artificial means to fulfill the water
requirement of crops in the areas where rainfall is insufficient.” (Iqbal Ali, 2010)

WHY IRRIGATION REQUIRED

1) Non-Uniform Rainfall
• Sometimes rainfall is sufficient but non-uniform with time and place. Like Monsoon season etc.
2) Augmentation of crop yield
• New high yielding varieties have higher water requirement. e.g sugarcane and rice need more
water.
3) Exacting water requirement
• High yielding varieties need exact amount of water. Excessive water lead to lesser yield
4) Cash Crop Cultivation
• Cash crops require higher and assured supply of water with frequent water for maturity
5) Assured Water Supply
• Right amount of water at right time is a key to For successful farming.
6) Orchards and Gardens
• Fruit trees in orchards and gardens have higher requirement of water.
