1. INTRODUCTION
We all five are Civil engineering sem-3 students. We all are interested and eager to
know anything related to civil engg. . We all share our research with each other.
We believe in getting knowledge as much as possible. We often discuss about our
ideas related to current technology affairs. We do online research on the various
kinds of irrigation system . we are excited about design engineering as it gives us
knowledge about Irrigation system.
Introduction to Faculty
Asst. Prof. Asim I Shaikh is very decent. He has a wide range of knowledge in
almost every area related to Irrigation & Water resource management. He helps
student by sharing his knowledge and his knowledge is really beneficial. He is a
good man with a kind heart.
Introduction of this project is very important in lives of beginners like us. This
project make us aware about how things work in actual world. Firstly a team is
chosen by us, we have to work in that team throughout the project which obviously
improves our management and team-working skills. This project helps us to
develop critical thinking skills, the way we approach towards a problem also
become more simplified and distinct. Throughout our project we constantly solve
and fix different kind of problems, hence enhance problem facing and solving
capability. Secondary communication skills also improves. With help of this
project, we got a good knowledge about designing which would be helpful in
future. Also it helps to apply the findings from the literature.

2. ABSTRACT
Water is a scarce resource in many parts of the developed world. As per last 2-3 years
scenario, the rainfall is occurring at non uniform rate in Dandi (Navsari) village. Due to this,
crops can not growth in its natural ways. Sometimes, due to heavy rainfall, it eliminate the crops
and make bad effect on the crops. . Two solutions are possible to address water scarcity.
As a solution of wastage of runoff water we are storing this runoff water in a storage tank
at a location where huge quantity of water is gathered.
We are providing the sprinkler irrigation method in this area as an modern efficient
irrigation method.And as a next semester work we are going to introduce a system for removal of
salinity of water.
The main aim of project is to develop the modern efficient irrigation system and design
the desalination plant at Dandi (Navsari) village to treat and use the salty underground water.

Story
Happy : Which person we met was using Sprinkle
Irrigation system when we asked him he told us that
which type of system he was used that is batter than
older system. Required less amount of water compare
to surface irrigation.
Happy : when we met person he was using sprinkle
irrigation system he told us that in this system easy to
provide water to crops and required less time and
water.
Sad : When we met person he was using this system
when we asked him he told us that when electricity note
provide proper power then system is not working so he
could not provided water to his crops.
Sad : Which person we met was using Sprinkle
Irrigation system when we asked him he told us that
this system is not use for some type of crops and caused
failure of crops.

The final problem that came by surveying is shortage of water for irrigation and
people have no proper idea about irrigation system.
The solution of the above mention problems is provide water by sprinkle irrigation
system. In this type of irrigation system required less amount of water save time.
In this product development canvas, we have discussed about the purpose, people, product
experience, product functions, product features, components, customer revalidation and redesign
needed etc. The function is to proper conveyance of runoff water. The features is to provide
better system of applying water, reducing wastage of water, increase in yield of crops etc.

Farming
The crop yield from an agricultural land depends upon a number of factors, but the most
important factor is that the crops get adequate water at the various stages of the grow of plants.
The natural supply of water to the agricultural land is through rain. If the rainfall is adequate to
meet the total water requirements of the crop and it occurs at the time when the crops require it,
then irrigation is not required.
But, India is a tropical country with vast diversity of climate, topography and vegetation.
Rainfall in India varies considerably from place to place as well as in its amount. Even at a
particular place, the rainfall is highly irratic and irregular, as it occurs only during a few
particular months of the year.
In order to get the maximum yield of crops, it is necessary to supply the optimum quantity of
water, and to maintain correct timing of water. This possible only through a systematic irrigation
system.
OBJECTIVES :
- Increase the yield of crops
- Growing perennial crops
- Growing a number of crops during a year
- Modern efficiently use of rain water
DEFINITION:
IRRIGATION:
Irrigation is defined as the process of artificially supplying water to soil for raising crops.
IRRIGATION ENGINEERING:
It is the science dealing with planning, designing, construction, operation and maintenance
of various irrigation works.
20
METHODS OF IRRIGATION :
Irrigation methods
(uncontrolled)
Problem :
We have taken Dandi village of Navsari district, which is located in Navsari taluka.
As per last 2-3 years scenario, the rainfall is occurring at non uniform rate in this area. Due to
this, crops can not growth in its natural ways. Sometimes, due to heavy rainfall, it eliminate the
crops and make bad effect on the crops.
So, because of the irregularity of the rainfall, it affects the monsoon crops. Also rainwater during
rainy season runoff as a waste water which is affecting winter crop also.
In this area, there is also an one problem of sodium present in the soil due to nearer sea. After the
time of monsoon , the salty water is made available from the wells and tube wells, etc. We can
not say its level in ground, it varies from place to place and time to time. So winter crop is also
effected due to this reason sometimes.
Solution :
So, we are providing an modern efficient irrigation system and method for increase the yield of
crop and eliminate the wastage of water.
As a solution of wastage of runoff water we are storing this runoff water in a storage tank at a
location where huge quantity of water is gathered .It happens only when the slope of land is
given towards the tank.We are providing the sprinkler irrigation method in this area as an
modern efficient irrigation method.And as a next semester work we are going to introduce a
system for removal of salinity of water.

Sprinkler irrigation:
In the sprinkler irrigation method, water is applied to the land in the form of a spray. It resembles
a light rainfall in the form of a drizzle. The sprinkler irrigation is also sometimes called overhead
irrigation. The greatest advantage of sprinkler irrigation is its adaptabilities to use under
conditions where surface irrigation methods are not efficient.
(9) Sprinklers :
10.Other accessories :
Special couplings
Regulating valves
Pressure gauges
Bends, elbows, tees
Reducers, plugs, clamps, etc.
The fixed nozzle pipe type of sprinkler consists of the lateral pipes having a line of small holes
drilled at the top at some regular interval along their lengths and on each of these holes small
nozzles are fitted. A series of such pipes are installed parallel to each other at a distance of about
15 m apart and are supported on rows of posts. The spray of water is developed through the
nozzles and the entire 15 m width between the pipelines may be irrigated by turning the pipes
through 13 5 . This type of sprinkler was the early system. These days it is rarely used in
practice.
26
In this method, lateral pipes are perforated. The perforations in the lateral pipes are drilled on the
top surface and sides in a specially designed pattern to spray the water uniformly. The lateral
pipes are placed on the land surface at a suitable spacing. When the water is supplied to the
lateral pipes, it comes out the perforations in the form of spray. The sprays are directed from
both the sides of the pipe and can cover a strip of land of 6 to 15 m width. Fig. 3.14 shows a
perforated pipe. The rate of application of water is usually greater than 2 cm depth per hour. The
operating pressure for these sprinklers is usually in the range of 50 to 250 k N/m2.This type of
sprinkler system is generally used for irrigation of orchards and nurseries.
27
28
The rotating sprinkler consists of one or two nozzles mounted on a body which is rotated slowly
about vertical axis by the action of a deflecting vane connected to it. The jet of water issuing
from one of the nozzles impinges on the vane and thrusts it aside.
The rotating sprinklers are placed on the riser pipes and are located just above the crops to be
irrigated. As such the height of the riser pipes depends upon the maximum height of the crop.
However, the minimum height of the rise pipe is 0.3 m when the riser pipe is of 25 mm diameter
and 0.15 m when it is of 20 mm diameter. The riser pipes along with the sprinklers are fixed at
regular intervals along the length of the lateral pipes and their spacing is so adjusted that the
water spread areas of the adjacent sprinklers partially overlap with each other in order to achieve
uniform application of water.
The required discharge of each sprinkler depends upon the water application rate, spacing of
the sprinklers along the lateral pipelines and the spacing of the lateral pipelines along the main
pipeline.

Suitable for irrigating crops where the plant population per unit area is very high.It is most
suitable for oil seeds and other cereal and vegetable crops .
Water saving
Closer control of water application convenient for giving light and frequent irrigation and
higher water application efficiency
Increase in yield
Mobility of system
FUTURE WORK
At present what we done in the present semester is given in the above progress report. Now, we
have found that in the our location of project there was a problem of saline water is generated
due to the nearer sea area. The salinity of water will decrease the growth of a crop and it will
affect the yield of a crops.
Therefore, as a future work we are going to remove this salinity from water and make it useful
for an irrigation water. For that we will introduce a desalination plant for removing salinity from
water.
