Irrigation Management. To propose a useful water management advice, we need to ensure direct and accurate determination of the optimal irrigation time and amount of irrigation. Determining the irrigation time is achieved by introducing critical water scarcity values derived from the time-gradient analysis of the soil moisture profile along the active root and hydrodynamic parameters of the plants. For this purpose, precise knowledge of the spatial distribution of the active bedrock is required in conjunction with the continuous recording of soil moisture. The optimal irrigation dose is determined as the sum of daily water absorption values from the crop after the last irrigation. Also, given the high solubility of nutrients in the water, a significant change in nutrient concentrations should be expected with the adoption of a new water management strategy. To control the above hypothesis, the kinetic of nutrient elements at different depths along the plants' active roots need to be recorded continuously. To this end, the gaiasense system provides soil moisture and soil salinity sensors capable of recording the status at different depths levels. The measurements are integrated into the models that calculate - on a forecast basis - when the water reservoir will reach a minimum. This information is processed by qualified advisors who are responsible for creating the respective agricultural advice.
Irrigation Management. 1. The Contractor shall retain full responsibility for the maintenance, upkeep, winterization, and use of all irrigation systems located in the Neighborhood.
Irrigation Management. Controllers shall be adjusted to Urban Habitat sustainable practices and for the healthy growth of landscape areas. Repeat cycles will be utilized to eliminate water run-off and aid in water conservation. System operation shall be set at night or early mornings to reduce water evaporation and adhere to local water conservation practices. Irrigation will be adjusted and cleaned as necessary for maximum efficiency. Sprinkler heads shall be kept clear of overgrowth, debris, or obstructions. All irrigation systems shall be tested and observed to verify effectiveness and ensure proper system operation.
Irrigation Management. Irrigation on the Enrolled Property is a combination of flood irrigation utilizing GID and Shasta Water User Association irrigation and some groundwater/surface water pressurized pumping for center pivot irrigation. A series of developed sump ponds is used to collect and reuse the Enrolled Property’s tail water. This water is recirculated on the Enrolled Property and to keep tailwater from returning to the Shasta River. Related to the Belcampo - North Annex Property, Belcampo does not own or operate any points of diversion within the SWCG boundary and is not seeking coverage for the act of diverting water. No water rights or diversions are included to be covered within this Site Plan Agreement. Permittee does not have surface water rights within the Shasta Water Conservation Group (SWCG) boundary for the Belcampo North Annex property, other than water diverted and provided by the Grenada Irrigation District, a separate entity and Permittee. Permittee also receives water from the Shasta Water Users Association, an irrigation entity with a point of diversion located outside of the SWCG boundary.
Irrigation Management. The Lessee shall use science-based irrigation scheduling practices. These practices shall match the irrigation water application to the water requirements of each crop being grown to promote efficiency, improve crop yield, and minimize water quality impairment. Irrigation methods shall be used to ensure proper amounts of water are delivered to the plants in a timely fashion. Mass Soil Movement and Gully Erosion. Lessee shall apply farming practices that limit the potential for mass soil movement and gully erosion.
Irrigation Management. The current policy and institutional issues that affect irrigation system performance include: (i) multiple overlapping of agencies (particularly the overlap in responsibilities between the DOI, MASL, Department of Agrarian Development, and Provincial Councils) involved in the construction, management and O&M of irrigation schemes, which is causing duplication and inefficient use of manpower and institutional resources;
Irrigation Management. Positioning and repositioning head gates for irrigation and stock watering throughout irrigation season (and to a lesser extent through the winter season) as crop demand, stock water needs, and water supply dictate. • Start pump at Pump Diversion. • Ongoing maintenance, management, and repair of boulder weirs. • Maintain measuring device(s). Irrigation Maintenance • Diversion intake maintenance and cleaning; • Operation and maintenance of diversion measuring devices; • Board or tarp removal/placement in ditches; • Pump maintenance; • Ditch cleaning and maintenance, including concrete lined sections; • Operation and maintenance of fish screen, e.g., cleaning; • Tailwater berm maintenance.
Irrigation Management. The LESSEE takes delivery of water from the City of San Diego. The lease has access to potable and recycled water through the City of San Diego. All costs, fees, and taxes from the production and delivery of water must be borne by the LESSEE. The City of San Diego Public Utilities Department can be contacted at (000) 000-0000 (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/public-utilities). The LESSEE must provide pertinent irrigation equipment, including motors, pumps, filters, valve openers, surface and underground irrigation water lines. The LESSEE shall repair, at LESSEE’s sole cost and expense, all damage to underground or aboveground LEASED PROPRTY that may result from any activities related to the LEASE. The LESSEE shall maintain, at LESSEE’s sole cost and expense, all valves and risers in a watertight condition, so as to prevent unwanted water leakage and ponding. The LESSEE will not be allowed to make any modifications, additions or deletions in or to the GOVERNMENT-owned irrigation system without prior written approval from the Real Estate Contracting Officer.
Irrigation Management. The selected Contractor will be solely responsible for the maintenance and proper operation of all irrigation systems. All sprinkler heads are to be adjusted as necessary for unimpeded coverage and to minimize overspray and water waste. Weekly inspections shall be performed of all irrigation systems, and the Contract Manager shall be notified within 24 hours of any and all irrigation problems. Repairs to correct irrigation problems shall be performed within 24 hours of notification/discover of irrigation problems. If repairs are not made within 24 hours, the Contract Manager may outsource the needed repairs and deduct the billable amount from the monthly billing for that landscaped section.

Irrigation Management. The springs on the HVR are generally utilized to their fullest extent when they are flowing for irrigation. There have been a few recent years (2013 and 2014) where the Upslope Spring was not flowing at all and the springs adjacent to the river (“Pond Springs” or #160/161) were significantly diminished. All springs flow directly into the Enrolled Property’s irrigation ditch network. The #160/161 adjudicated Pond Springs (which are adjacent to the river) flows into a series of small ponds to create the hydraulic head required to deliver water across the river through a flume and through 900-feet of open ditch and 4,818-feet of buried mainline to flood irrigate the “west forty”. The Upslope Spring flows directly into a network of open ditches and ponds to irrigate the central pastures on the Enrolled Property, known as the “bunkhouse pasture”. The spring water charges approximately 2,744-feet of open ditch and 2,260-feet of buried mainline with flood risers (constructed in 2010). The spring’s discharge fluctuates depending on water year and snowpack, with the spring adjacent to the river being the more dependable source of water however this spring can only irrigate approximately 30% of the total Enrolled Property’s irrigated pasture land due to the low elevation in relation to the majority of pasture. HVR may divert prior rights water from March 1 to November 1 of each year. The prior rights water is delivered from MWCD down the Shasta River to the HVR diversion, a distance of approximately 4000-feet. The head gate is set to divert approximately 3.5 cfs at the point of diversion, being conveyed down approximately 1000-feet of open ditch to the fish screen. The tubular fish screen is connected to a 15-inch buried mainline that currently delivers approximately 2.0 cfs for irrigation. Approximately 0.5 cfs of the diverted water is lost through ditch seepage and approximately 1.0 cfs returns to the river via a fish bypass return channel. The 2.0 cfs prior right is then delivered to the place of use via approximately 1500-feet of open ditch and 2,500-feet buried mainline. This 1500 feet portion of open ditch was piped and connected to the existing buried pipeline in April, 2018. The prior right water is used to irrigate the eastern-most pastures from 1,300-feet of buried mainline with flood risers. The prior rights water flows across the east pasture and any tailwater is then picked up in the main ditch. This reclaimed tailwater is added to the riparian spring w...
