CIMS
is a comprehensive management system,
which takes care of all the planning and
management activities of an irrigation
scheme.
It
consists of two main sub-systems:
|
|
A user-friendly, easy to use, secure
graphical user interface (GUI) |
|
|
The
required capability for web-based
interfaces, ensuring accurate and
flexible reporting |
Irrigation
management
This sub-system provides a comprehensive
decision-support system (DSS). Irrigation
managers at various hierarchical levels
of the organisation are provided with
tools for taking appropriate decisions
covering planning, reservoir operation,
scheduling and operational management.
It is closely coupled with the real-time
data collection sub-system, in order to
get feedback on actions initiated.
The DSS, along with telemetry, handles
the following areas:
|
|
System configuration and data maintenance
|
|
|
Data
transfer and processing |
|
|
Reservoir

Technical
architecture, hardware and software platforms
A web-enabled system, it has been developed
after an exhaustive techno-commercial
evaluation of various contemporary technology
options available.

Models
A non-linear programming formulation was
carried out in order to optimise the operation
of the reservoir. An interface was developed
for the model to input the inflows anticipated,
the irrigation and non-irrigation demands,
and the constraints for operation, to
obtain an optimised schedule for the reservoir
system.
The
general algebraic modelling system (GAMS),
developed by the GAMS Development Corporation,
USA, has been used for the development
of the reservoir operation and canal scheduling
processes.
Tools
Arcview version 3.2 was used for the development
of the project and systems feature module
for graphical and pictorial representation
of the various features of the project.
Architecture
CIMS has a web-enabled architecture:
|
|
Provides fast and easy accessibility
across the organisation |
|
|
Ensures
accurate and flexible reporting via
a web browser |
|
|
Has
the ability to provide on-line access
easily across the corporate / organisation
network |
|
|
Has
a user-friendly, easy to use, secure
graphical user interface (GUI) |
|
|
Provides
the required capability for web-based
interfaces |
Strengths
|
|
A dedicated group drawn from experts
in water resources, irrigation management,
hydraulics, and hydrology, works for
the design, development and implementation
of the canal irrigation management
system |
|
|
A dedicated and specialised team is
engaged in implementation of real-time
data acquisition and control systems,
comprising specialists from the field
of electronics, telecommunications,
instrumentation and civil engineering |
|
|
A
panel of expert consultants supports
the team |
|
