THE WATER-HOLDING CAPACITY OF THE TEMPORARY SPRINKLER DAM
Abstract
The article deals with issues related to reducing the loss of irrigation water during surface irrigation of agricultural crops, when used as a water supply irrigation networks, i.e. a temporary sprinkler. Since when cutting a temporary sprinkler, irrigation water is lost only due to the irrational shape and size of temporary sprinklers during their formation by existing channel diggers. Taking into account the disadvantage, an experimental sample of a channel digger was developed and a number of experiments were carried out. However, observations of the process of irrigation works show that uncompacted dams formed by an experimental channel digger are often washed away by water, since the irrigation dam is washed away, clearly indicating insufficient soil density and therefore it is necessary to increase the density of the dam - with a sealer and justify the parameters of the dam compactor.
