Research on building water usage norms for field surface irrigation at irrigation works exploitation units in Lam Dong province, Vietnam

Abstract

The economic and technical norms in the management, exploitation and protection of irrigation works are the basis for planning, verifying and appraising production plans, annual financial plans and final settlement such as the cost of management, exploitation and protection of irrigation works. Type of works, quantity, technical parameters, current status of works and equipment, irrigation tasks, technology, etc., of each irrigation enterprise has applied different technologies. Therefore, the cost of materials, fuel and labor for the management and operation of the construction system of each enterprise is also different. We cannot use the norm of one business to apply to another. In order to match the actual situation, improve the efficiency of management, exploitation and protection of irrigation works, it is necessary to establish norms for using water for irrigation of fields. This study develops norms of water usage for irrigation of fields in the exploitation units of irrigation works in Lam Dong province to meet the above mentioned problems.
