Design of an Alternative fo r Supply, Open Channel Irrigation and Hydraulic Structures in the Area of the Experimental Farm South Colombian University. Diseño de una alternativa de abastecimiento, canales abiertos y estructuras hidráulicas en el riego por superficie de la Granja Experimental de la Universidad Surcolombiana

Abstract

The farm of the University currently has open channels on the ground in poor conditions, irregularly shaped channels caused by erosion, lack of maintenance, the indiscriminate use of water and the inappropriate application of surface  irrigation, which reduces efficiency of the system. Because of this, it became necessary to create this project which relies heavily on the layout and design of the network of farm channels,  propose three options for coating and design ofhydraulic structures to increase irrigation efficiency.
Then we realized the design of a new supply line coming from the channel OPIA ASOJUNCAL irrigation district, at the end of this, capturing 30 l / s of water.
