HERVIS GRANDA, Guillermo et al. Planning of water resources needed in the first irrigation of rice. riha [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.1, pp. 3-16. ISSN 1680-0338.

Detailed planning of water resources needed for the first irrigation of rice is a pending subject in the updating process of irrigation systems for this crop. To answer this need, the present work introduces a methodology based on the integration of a procedure for irrigation design in rice terraces along with a geographic information system (GIS). Parameters for water resources planning are obtained from algebraic operations between maps and the detailed quantification and resources needed for each field. Its application to a group of rice fields allowed to obtain necessary water volumes and discharges for the first irrigation of rice and, from these, to evaluate functionality of the existing irrigation system.

Keywords : zone scale application; hydraulic design; geographic information system.
