Abstract

Slide 1PACIFIC ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE –(PACC) INCEPTION WORKSHOP - FIJI ISLANDS, NAUSORI 10th September 2010Agricultural Infrastructure  Mostly Hydraulic Structures  Open channels  Outfall structure  Floodgates  Flap gate  Storage structures, dam, reservoir– etcTo regulate the water for Agri.  Requirement  To avoid “ Too Less / Too Much of Water”  For Agricultural purpose  Introduce the water regulating structures  Design the structure  Hydraulic Aspect  Structural AspectHydraulic Design of the Structure.  Input Design Data  Generate based on Hydrological Data  Set for the required condition on type of crop  Hydrological data (historical records)  Related to Weather & Climate  E.g. Rainfall Runoff  Design Rainfall Design RunoffSize / capacity of Structure  Design Runoff (Discharge) -  Dependant parameter on Rainfall – Weather  Weath
