Farm water supply design manual

This manual has been developed by PFRA specifically for use by its staff in the design and construction of the small dams built under various PFRA water development and conservation programs. The investigation and design phases and the technical assistance during the construction of these dams, as described in the manual, are organized. irrigation water by the user is a necessary activity in our existence as a society. Competition for a limited water supply for other uses by the public require the irrigation water user to provide much closer control than ever before. The importance of irrigated crops is . This RURAL WATER SUPPLY DESIGN MANUAL is the first of three related volumes prepared for the use of prospective and actual owners, operators, managements, technical staff, consultants, government planners and contractors of small Level III and Level II water supply systems in the Philippines.

The final design is subject to site-specific observations made in the test hole or during the well drilling. The overall objective of the design is to create a structurally stable, long. design and management. • Soil textures, available soil water holding capacity, and crop rooting depth must be known for planning and designing system application rates, irrigation water management, and scheduling irrigations so that water applied is beneficially used by the crop. • The water supply, capacity, and quality.
