SURDEV Description
The SURDEV software package was developed in 2001 by the International Institute for Land Reclamation and Improvement, Wageningen Environmental Research and the Institute of Land and Water Management of Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. SURDEV consists three software programs: BASDEV (for leveling basins), BORDEV, (for sloping border), and FURDEV, (for graded furrows). Gravity is used to spread water on the fields of farmers. Gravity pulls the water from one end of the field to the other. It infiltrates the soil along the way. Surface irrigation techniques include level basins, sloping borders and sloping ridges. All of these techniques are designed to provide water in the correct quantity, at the appropriate time, and in a uniform layer to achieve a uniform stand of crops and minimize water loss.

Irri Maker
Irri Maker offers a one-stop solution to irrigation system designers. It covers everything from terrain survey, CAD, planning, hydraulic calculations, and equipment reports. Digital terrain modeling software is widely used in South Africa, as well as internationally, in the fields land surveying, engineering, mining and construction. Since its conception in 1980, it has been continually improved to keep up with industry needs and the latest computer technologies. The addition of the irrigation design module in 1998 has made it the only software package that offers user-friendly, well-supported functions to DTM, CAD and Irrigation Design all in one package. The system is independent of any other commercial software, and has its own plotting and report capabilities. Full graphical control of automatic and manual development for micro, drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.

WCADI
WCADI irrigation software has been used by professionals around the world for more than 40 years. It is used both for agricultural and environmental purposes. It has been a favorite of the Rivulis design teams, global leaders in micro-irrigation systems, for decades. Rivulis purchased WCADI in 2021. Using spreadsheets, pen and paper or other basic tools to design large and complex irrigation system can be time-consuming and inaccurate. With WCADI irrigation software, you are confident in the design solution. With built-in templates, calculators and templates, you can get better accuracy and ensure that your solutions are more efficient in terms of resource usage. This will save money for your client and provide optimal yields. Plus, you can easily create multiple designs for the same project.

IrrigatePlus
{
Irrigateplus is a program based on Epanet that includes, in a single program, all the necessary tools for the design and calculation of irrigation systems.|Irrigateplus, a program built on Epanet, includes all the tools necessary for the design and calculations of irrigation systems in one program.} Irrigateplus enables improved management and design for sprinkler irrigation. It also optimizes piping diameters and selects pumping equipment to ensure efficient water management. Irrigateplus contains commercial catalogs from major manufacturers around the world, which allows you to select the rotors or sprays that are most suitable for your needs. Its database manager makes it easy to design irrigation systems quickly and easily, saving you both time and money. Irrigateplus's simple and agile interface improves your productivity and design process. Its free version, which does not include the commercial catalog, makes it easier to use, expose, and buy the software. Irrigateplus was developed to design and calculate pressurized irrigation systems without the use of other programs.

IrriExpress
IrriExpress is a powerful, intuitive and simple program that allows you to design irrigation projects using pivots, drips, and sprinklers. It allows you to evaluate installation options in advance, survey any terrain and produce a contour map, draw the details and apply the irrigation plan. Interface is flexible and easy to use. Full irrigation system design. Validation and analysis of designs is easy. Digital terrain modeling, computer-aided drafting and digital terrain modeling. It is not necessary to manually calculate coordinates or reduce survey fieldbooks, nor do manual plotting. IrriExpress converts up to 9,000 survey point data into a computerized DTM to create a triangular model. It can also create contour plans using data imported from ASCII Coordinates, DXF files, DWG files, and GPS. IrriExpress can report problems that may arise based on the upper and lower limits you input for different types and angles of slopes.
