dc.description.abstract As in the current scenario water availability is a serious problem because of higher demand of water for agriculture, industry etc.The present study was aimed to design an appropriate irrigation system for non irrigated areas of KCAET farm. The campus is spread over an area of 40.99 ha out of which cropped area is 30.66 ha. Majority of water requirement of cropped field is met by surface methods of irrigation like check basin, furrow and border strip irrigation. In the surface method of irrigation lot of water is wasted by evaporation Since the water availability for irrigation purpose is diminishing day by day. Improved irrigation technology offers an opportunity for agriculture to alleviate water scarcity and more effectively allocate water resources. The system design start with selection of suitable emitters depending on type of crop, water requirement, operating type, soil type, water quality etc. The length and size of lateral is determined by surveying the field. Main line is provided at the centre of field so that friction head loss is within the limit and total pressure required for the system is within the pump or water source capacity. The total quantity of components were estimated so as to compute or calculate the total cost of irrigation system. en_US
