Wide-reach two-dump technical means of cleaning irrigation and water supply channels

The purpose of the research was to increase the water transmission capacity of irrigation and water supply channels by creating a wide-reach two-dump leveler – turf cutter. An analysis of water consumption in the Southern and North Caucasus Federal Districts from irrigation and water supply channels, rivers and underground sources was performed, which showed that more than 40% of water consumption comes from the irrigation systems. The main reasons for the decrease in the water transmission capacity of irrigation and water supply channels and ways to combat them have been established. The most promising method is the mechanical method of cleaning the dana channels. The frequency of cleaning irrigation and water supply channels has been revealed, which makes it possible to reduce the hydraulic resistances of the channel cross-section and increase the water transmission capacity, with a work cycle.
