흙 수로내에서의 용수손실에 관한 연구

1. Title of Research Research on the Loss of Irrigation Water Flowing in Earth Channel. 2. Purpose and Importance of Research The purpose of this research is to obtain the accurate loss rated of irrigation water flowing in earth channels so as to give a criterion of designing rational and effective suplpy project of irrigations water. It is the present status that the loss rates of 10 to 20% are obscurely applied without any scientific proof. Therefore, the importance of this research lies in securing loss rates, which are experimentally proves to be suitable for specific local conditions. 3. Content and Scope of Research The selected test reach of the main channel is 1,000m long. Discharges were measured at up and downstream enps by using current meter. The test reach of the lateral channel is 500m long, and parshall flumes were set at both ends to measure inflow and outflow. Finally, for the supply ditch, the test section is 200m long, and sharp-edged rectangular weirs were provided at both ends to measure inflow and outflow. In addition, various factors influence on the loss of irrigation water in channel wer examined. 4. Results of Research and Proposition Results: 1. In the main channel, which is 1,000 M long, and has a slope of 1/3,000 and was constructed by cutting earth, its loss rate is 9.64%. 2. In the lateral, which has a slope of 1/1,500, and is 500m long, and was constructed by cutting, its loss rate is 15.55%. Its average seepage rate is 2.08cm/day. 3. In the supply ditch, which has a slope of 1/300, and is 200m long, and was constructed by filling earth, its loss rate is 12.34%, its average seepage rate being 3.37cm/day. Proposition: As could be seen in the results above-mentioned, it is contradictory to apply a loss rate of 20% for every main channels and 15% for every laterals without variation, as done so for in planning irrigation project. The fact, however, is that loss rates must be different according to localities and characteristics. Due to the fact that this experiment is small in its scope and is nothing but a preliminary one, it is hardly possible to draw decisive conclusions with the results obtained in this research. Loss rates, that are secured through more extensive research, should be used, in order to establish precise irrigation project. Moreover, such researches should be carried out for a number of loclities throughout the nation.

본 실험 연구는 흙수로내에서의 용수손실에 관한 연구로서 물을 필요로 하는 논과 밭까지 필요한 시기에 필요한 양만큼을 보급해 주어야 하는 관개계획을 수립함에 있어 매년 높아져 가는 사수위에 늘어가는 필요 수량과의 함수관계를 해결하는 지표를 주는데 목표을 두었다. 시험은 용수계통인 간선, 지선, 분선수로로 구분하여 간선수로에서는 1,000m 구간을 잡아 유속계측정 방법으로 지선수로에서는 500m 구간을 잡아 상 하류에 파야샬후륨을 설치하여 측정하였으며 분선수로에서는 200m 구간을 상 하류에 사각예언웨어를 설치하여 손실을 측정하였으며 기타손실에 영향을 주는 제요인들도 조사하여 다음 결과를 얻었다. (1) 1,000m 구간의 간선수로에서는 9.64%의 통수손실을 보였으며, 500m 구간의 지선수로에서는 15.55%. 200m 구간의 분선수로에서는 12.34%의 통수손실율을 보였다. (2) 삼투량조사는 지선수로를 40m 간격으로 3번 반복조사에서 2.08cm/day 또 200m 간격의 지선수로에서는 1일 평균 3.37cm/day의 삼투량을 얻었다. (3) 단 1회의 결과치를 객관성 있게 취급은 곤난하며 종래에 사용해 온 결과치보다는 손실과 삼투가 공히 상당히 큰 값을 보여주고 있어 좀 더 자세한 연구가 필요하다.
