Selection of irrigation techniques at the Laguna Blanca agricultural company
Keywords:
irrigation issues, water infrastructure, water productivity, irrigation efficiencyAbstract
The hydraulic infrastructure of this company is characterized, identifying problems that affect its productivity and efficient use of irrigation water, based on interviews with managers and technical personnel, to establish criteria for the selection of irrigation techniques in potentially rainfed agricultural areas. From the survey conducted on irrigation and drainage infrastructure, land fund of productive units and analysis of the Water, Soil, Plant complex, 58.6% of the Central Pivot machines are in operation and less than 50 % of the water is used for irrigation, due to losses by infiltration and other causes, in the canals that carry the water. Of the agricultural surface, 35% of the area is under irrigation and the facilities operate without prior evaluation of the management parameters.
