Özet

In this study, the determination of optimum water use models is investigated in Kultepe irrigation project area. Kultepe Irrigation Project are opened to irrigation in 1983, But because of the small dams constructed on upper parts of the watershed it hasn't been receiving sufficient water for several years and planed irrigation has been given up. Maintenance services have stopped and conveyance canals have been destroyed and a new irrigation system is proposed for this area, on which this study is applied. The optimum crop pattern is determined by linear programming approach, the economical analysis for the year 2000 and planning situations are determined by DASI software and the operation situations of the irrigation system are determined by CROPWAT software. The irrigation scheduling for an efficient water distribution and water use are given in the study and some precautions are advised.
