A STUDY OF WATER MEASURING DEVICES ON IRRIGATION CHANNELS

Abstract

"A STUDY OF WA 1 EER MEASURING DEVICES ONIRRIGA 1'ION CHANNELS" The ultimate goal of water measurement is to conserve water through improved management of its distribution and ensure equitable distribution and application. Accurate water measurement helps in proper distribution because it is very difficult to manage something when we don't know precisely how much we are using. Management of water supplies is changing. Increasing competition exists between power, irrigation, municipal, industrial, recreation, aesthetic and fishes and wildlife uses. In countries like India, critical examinations of water use will be based on consumption, perceived waste, population density, and impact on ecological systems and endangered species. Water districts and farmers will need to document their use of water and seek ways to extend the use of their share of water by the best available technologies...
