Description
In 2001, the SURDEV software suite was created through a collaboration among the International Institute for Land Reclamation and Improvement (ILRI), Wageningen Environmental Research, and the Institute of Land and Water Management of the Catholic University of Leuven (ILWM) in Belgium. This suite includes three specialized programs: BASDEV, designed for level basins; BORDEV, tailored for sloping borders; and FURDEV, which focuses on graded furrows. Surface irrigation utilizes the force of gravity to effectively distribute water across agricultural fields. As gravity pulls the water, it traverses the fields from one end to another, allowing it to seep into the soil during its flow. Among the various surface irrigation methods, the most prevalent include level basins (which may or may not have level furrows), sloping borders, and sloping furrows, all aimed at efficiently delivering water. The primary goal of these irrigation techniques is to ensure that crops receive water in precise amounts, at optimal times, and in a consistent manner, which ultimately fosters a uniform crop growth while minimizing water wastage. Furthermore, the careful application of these practices can lead to improved agricultural productivity and sustainability.
Description
For over four decades, WCADI irrigation design software has established itself as a leading tool for irrigation design, utilized by professionals globally for agricultural and environmental applications. Known for its precision and user-friendly interface, it has been the preferred choice of the Rivulis design team, who are prominent figures in micro irrigation systems, having tailored it to meet their specific needs. In 2021, Rivulis acquired WCADI, further integrating it into their innovative solutions. The traditional methods of designing intricate irrigation systems using pen and paper, spreadsheets, or rudimentary tools are often laborious and prone to errors, leading to inefficiencies. In contrast, WCADI irrigation design software provides users with a reliable design solution that enhances accuracy through integrated templates and calculators, ultimately optimizing resource use and reducing costs for clients while maximizing crop yields. Furthermore, it allows for the seamless exploration of multiple design alternatives within a single project, all presented in a professional manner. This capability not only increases productivity but also empowers designers to make informed decisions that benefit both the environment and the agricultural sector.
