dc.description.abstract | The agricultural sector plays a key role in Sudan economy. It is well known that the Gezira Agricultural Scheme is the largest irrigated area in Sudan, and largest area under one administration in the world. The Gezira Scheme problem is that it suffered for several decades from political urgent decisions which led to low production. This was associated with apparent destruction, degradation and poor irrigation. These formidable problems revealed the main objective to solve the drawdown preventing development. This extended the objectives which in turn revealed the existing conditions of the Gezira Scheme, checked irrigation drainage infrastructures networks, water supply control, as well as released demands with its impact on crops rotations and production. The study methodology paved the road to keep the irrigation canals in perfect condition fulfilling the entire objective leading to solution of all the problems. Field and office works can be successful if they function with excellence during periods when there exists low water supply, such that the discharge in the canals continue with optimum or close to the optimum design discharges two cases were considered, Zananda and Haj Abdalla canals. The study indicated that renovation of such conditions is achieved with such conditions. This was supplemented with the positive results of fieldwork practices inherited from the past, associated with the high-level limits of the scientific recommendations. It is seen that Silts, weeds in the canals are the most problems encountered with the scheme. In addition to mismanagement of water discharge and crops rotations | |
