1. PRESENTATION PAPER ON SMALL SCALE IRRIGATION TECHNIQUES ABOUT IRRIGATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN UGANDA BY BYARUHANGA K. GODFREY (COUNTERPART STAFF SIAD PROJECT) 16 th April 2009

2. CURRENT SITUATION OF IRRIGATION INFRSTRUCTURE Based on irrigation schemes, most of the few existing irrigation schemes need to be rehabilitated

3. Components of irrigation infrastructure Water source ( Water reservoir, lake, river, spring, wells, borehole) Water conveyance system from source to field (canals or pipes) Water abstraction (diversion structures, weirs, turnout, vertical check gates and gates) Facilitating equipment (water pumps, siphons, sprinklers, micro-jets, drippers)

4. Components of irrigation infrastructure cont. Energy dissipating structures (drops, cutes, stilling basins and pressure regulating valves Structures (farm roads, bunds, culverts) Field Drainage system

5. Design procedure Field survey Production of topographical map Irrigation layout plan

6. JICA DEMO SITE

7. Small scale gate and turn-out in Bugiri

8. Irrigation structures in Uganda

9. Lateral drain joining main drainage canal at Doho irrigation scheme

10. Shapes of structures

11. Irrigation structures in Egypt Irrigation canal in EgyptElectric water pump in Egypt Drip lines with drippers

12. Water reservoir

13. CHALLENGES Lack of maintenance culture Lack of equipment Erratic weather conditions Lack of adequate data on rainfall Funding problem River bank erosion

14. ACTION PLAN Development of water harvesting technologies -Potential sites identification basing on topography and run-off capacity -Soil profiles Training; Farmers, contractors Rehabilitation of existing schemes
