(4032) Night-storage irrigation system
In this system practiced in Sudan, crops are not watered by night. The outlet pipes are closed at sunset but water continues to enter the tertiary canal, flow rate being the same as the one recorded during the day. At the downstream reaches of the tertiary canal, a small flat crested brick weir is constructed. A steel pipe is also provided across the weir which is shut at dusk. As and when water crosses the first reach, its level rises until the discharge across the weir is equal to that feeding the canal, and the water starts filling the second reach. The same process is repeated consecutively in all the remaining reaches of the canal until the sunrise when the entire canal is converted into a series of water storages. Subsequently, when the outlet is opened, the discharge is almost twice the supply. In this operation, the stored water is emptied by sunset, and then the same process is repeated.
