Abstract
The article presents current problems of irrigation canals. We list research methods while specifying the methods and work processes used. We have schematically depicted and theoretically described the necessary operations for the construction, reconstruction and repair of irrigation canals. Additionally, we have substantiated the economic losses arising from using concrete facing materials, and proposed modern facing materials designed to solve the main issues of irrigation canals. The article demonstrates the results of work on laying concrete canvas and geosynthetic materials. We have described and clearly classified the proposed facing materials and systemically listed advantages and disadvantages of modern facing materials compared to standard concrete canvas. On the basis of the study, the technological intensification of melioration was presented by reducing the construction and maintenance load on irrigation canals. We have theoretically and visibly demonstrated the efficiency of proposed materials and mathematically proven the intensification of melioration by reducing the maintenance load on irrigation canals. The findings indicate that the use of the proposed materials should increase the performance of irrigation grids, as well as reduce the maintenance load on them.
Highlights
Irrigation canals are the main transporting element of irrigation water throughout the irrigation system
We can state that the use of modern materials can improve the performance of the irrigation canal, as well as reduce the maintenance load on irrigation canals, both technically and financially
The required volume of irrigation water will be supplied in a timely manner
Summary
Irrigation canals are the main transporting element of irrigation water throughout the irrigation system. Each branching of the canals is tied to a specific place of irrigation; when one of the branches fails, a certain irrigated area will not be moistened fully or will not receive irrigation at all. Maintaining canals and keeping them up and running is a top priority. The aim of our study is to determine rational options for intensification of melioration by reducing the maintenance load on irrigation canals
