ftp:// 5 th World Water Forum - Istanbul Theme How to achieve the required food production to meet the growing demand Increasing Irrigation System Efficiency Tony Oakes & Tugba Erol Rubicon Systems 17 March, 2009

Overview Irrigation is key to producing more food Irrigation consumes approximately 70% of the world’s water Gravity channel systems are the dominant delivery mechanism – unlikely to change Operating technology has changed little since the early civilizations - inefficient Modern infrastructure and control engineering can increase distribution efficiencies from ~50-70% to ~70-90% This realizes massive water savings

Reconfiguring Systems

Q Traditional Operation (Upstream Level Control) Changing the Paradigm Distribution Efficiency 50-70% Typical

Q Modern Operation (Total Channel Control®) Distribution Efficiency Up to 90% demonstrated Changing the Paradigm
