Abstract
Irrigation is one of the most important inputs for an efficient
and sustainable agricultural production. Thus the subject of
efficient irrigation water management has been the talk of the
last few decades. It has been emphasized that proper
monitoring and evaluation is the key to successful management.
Irrigation management in the most projects has so far been
essentially water supply based. The dynamics of crop water
demands are not explicitly considered. Consequently, irrigation
systems do not supply the right quantities of water at the right
time. Irrigation experts are seeking the ways in which the water
is used very efficiently. The first step of this achievement is to
increase in effectiveness of irrigation management. Analyzing
large amount of data is necessity for management of irrigation
projects. Data must be collected, stored and interrelated with
each other in such a way that the data are readily accessible.
The aim of this study is to present a Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) for Namakkal irrigation and drainage project
located in the southern west of Tamilnadu. GIS was developed
to provide a powerful tool to analyze large volumes of
geographic data. It stores a considerable amount of spatial
information in a compact and accessible form and it has the
ability to work with spatial and non-spatial data and create
information by integrating data layers. In this work, several
layers of information such as: canals, drainage system, landuse,
farms, groundwater surface level, etc have been imported or
created in ArcGIS. In addition, several scripts have been
developed to calculate the irrigation requirements and necessary
results.
