Abstract

The master's thesis presents an analysis of the needs and possibilities for an irrigation system on agricultural land in the Lovćenac area. The adopted irrigation technique involves a system with 21 self-propelled center pivot machines located on parcels east of the highway, covering an area of 1,360 hectares. This type of irrigation system was selected as the most optimal due to its extensive land coverage and uniform water distribution across the fields. The machines are supplied with water from the “Mali Iđoš” reservoir, on the shore of which a pumping station is located. This station, along with its complete hydromechanical equipment, is also addressed in this thesis. The energy required to deliver water to the main and secondary pipelines connected to the machines is provided by nine pumps. The modeling and hydraulic calculation of the network were carried out using the EPANET 2.2 software package.
