Purpose: to formulate the main requirements and provisions of the technology for developing layout and design solutions for the irrigation network of drip irrigation systems for garden plantings.
Materials and methods. The empirical basis of the study were the materials of design solutions for irrigation networks for drip irrigation of tree and fruit crops, developed for various natural (soil, topographic, phenological) conditions of their introduction in garden plantings. In developing the main requirements and provisions, scientific approaches to analysis and synthesis were used.
Results and discussion. The main requirements for irrigation networks of drip irrigation systems for commercial gardens and their constituent elements (main, distribution, irrigation and irrigation pipelines) are formulated. The sequence of technological, computational and graphic operations for developing layout and design solutions for the drip irrigation network is determined. A list of initial data required for the design and requirements and restrictions to be taken into account is compiled. The article formulates the fundamental principles for selecting drip emitters and irrigation tubes, determining the parameters, and developing the designs of single-, dual-, and triple-line irrigation modules. The article defines the routing conditions for main, distribution, irrigation, and irrigation pipelines. Dependencies are provided for the hydraulic calculation of the main functional water courses of the pipeline network to determine pressure losses, select their diameters, and determine pressure in them, taking into account elevation differences. The formulated recommendations for the technology for developing network layout and design solutions are illustrated using a garden planting as an example.
Conclusion. The article formulates the fundamental principles for developing layout and design solutions for irrigation networks of drip irrigation systems for gardens.
