Environmental safety in the irrigation and watering systems design stage

Abstract

At the present stage of water management complex development as a part of the agricultural-industrial complex (AIC), there is an ambitious task to create fundamentally new technologies for using water resources for existing and emerging irrigation and watering systems (I.W.S.). Based on the transformations in natural environments natural processes unity (atmosphere, hydrosphere, upper layers of the lithosphere and soil cover) aimed at the water resources formation (surface and underground runoff) within the basin geosystem under consideration spatial limits, with water use technological processes at I.W.S. as a part of the natural-technical system (NTS) “Environment - I.W.S. – Population” (“E.- I.W.S. - P.”), presents the comprehensive studies results of the processes of interconnection, interaction and relationship (IIR) of the I.W.S. technogenic component with E. and living P., on the basis of which the methodological foundations were developed for putting forward the new ideas on water resources use, where the central concept is the “Ecological Acceptability” of design decisions, stipulating the system principle of the principal role of the whole in relation to the main problems of Energy, Water, Food and Ecology. The I.W.S. environmental acceptability is determined by the current regulatory environmental requirements for environmental safety (ES) in the areas of I.W.S. influence. Based on the comprehensive research results, the constructive and technological requirements are formulated for providing electronic components in design solutions, as factors in providing electronic information for I.W.S.
