Pipe irrigation networks are the most important systems regarding a country's agricultural production and water conservation efforts. Today, irrigation for agriculture is the sector that leads to highest water consumption. The amount of water used by the agricultural sector in our country is 73% of our total water potential. Sustainable water resources management is mandatory because of the increase in water demand in agricultural production due to the population increase in our country and generally in the world and the limited water resources that exist. Irrigation systems constructed in our country in recent years constitute a great majority of investments, modem piped irrigation networks reduce water loss and economise agricultural water use. This work focuses on achieving optimum conditions for the design of pipe irrigation networks in terms of cost and desired operating pressures. In order to solve the optimization problem, heuristic based dynamic programming and "Simplex Method" which is a linear programming method were used and the software of these optimizations were applied to State Hydraulic Works (DSI) pipe irrigation networks.

Buffer Sizing Model Incorporating Fuzzy Risk Assessment: Case Study on Concrete Gravity Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant Projects
Balta, Semsettin; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem (2018-03-01)
Timely completion of dam and hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) projects is indispensable for the countries constructing them due to their economic, political, and social impacts. Robust and stable schedules should be created at the beginning of these projects in order to realistically estimate project durations considering uncertainties and variations. This paper proposes a buffer sizing methodology based on fuzzy risk assessment which can be used to calculate time buffers accurately for concrete gravity dam...
The long-term engineering properties nnd sustainability indices of dewatering Hydrated lime mortars through jacaranda seed pods
Ayasgil, Dilara; İnce, Ceren; Drogar, Shahram; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-2-11)
Concrete, after water, is the most widely used material on the world, according to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. One ton of cement production results in approximately 0.9 tons of CO2 emissions. Although the compatibility of hydrated lime in masonry is well comprehended in the literature, the unsuccessful replacement of lime with cement is a common challenge that introduces various problems, particularly in the conservation and restoration of historic masonry. The thesis begins with...
CHANNEL DETECTION AND TRACKING FROM LIDAR DATA IN COMPLICATED TERRAIN
Arghavanian, Azar; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2022-2-04)
Efficient management of water resources is of great importance regarding ever increasing population and water droughts related to climate change. Drainage networks are important geomorphologic and hydrologic features which significantly control runoff generation. Recently, it has been feasible to monitor the earth’s surface and natural phenomena with the aid of remote sensing techniques. However, very high spatial resolution is needed for monitoring small waterways and knowledge of accurate drainage pattern...
Application of the contingent valuation method in a developing country: a case study of the Yusufeli Dam in northeast Turkey
Alp, Emre; Yetiş, Ülkü (IWA Publishing, 2010-01-01)
Hydroelectric power plants and dams often play an important role in developing countries in terms of their contribution to economy. In accordance with the energy policies of Turkish Republic, Yusufeli Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant in Northeastern Turkey have been initiated. In this study, the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was conducted in Yusufeli Village to determine the environmental costs of the Yusufeli Project. The purpose is to assess the willingness to pay (WTP) of Yusufeli Village residents ...
Hydraulic characteristics of modified tyrolean type intakes
Yılmaz, Kuta; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Today, besides the dams, construction of runoff-river type hydroelectric power plants are also important for producing the required electricity. Among the runoff-river hydroelectric power plants, Tyrolean type intakes are very popular as they do not need reservoirs. These intakes are mostly constructed on rivers which carry sediment and have large slopes. The inclination angle of the rack, θ, rack length, L, and the rack spacing, e, are the most important parameters that determine the amount of sediment tha...
