METHOD FOR CALCULATIING IRRIGATION SETTLING BASINIS

In Azerbaijan, agricultural and industrial water demands are primarily met through surface water sources. Planned and sustainable water withdrawal from rivers can be achieved by effectively addressing sedimentation challenges. In certain cases, the use of lake-type or expanding settling basins is considered appropriate to enhance flow clarification and accelerate sediment deposition. The processes of sediment transport and settlement in basins of various configurations—both during water clarification and flushing-represent complex physical phenomena associated with channel dynamics. Effectively resolving these issues requires further improvement in the design and hydraulic calculation methods of hydraulic structures. The Republic of Azerbaijan plans to construct numerous river water intake facilities equipped with settlement basins, as well as in-channel and off-channel reservoirs and water supply systems.
