Current situation and the future of the exploitation of irrigation arrangements in Romania [articol]

Abstract

The paper presents concisely the history of irrigation arrangements, their current situation, and a few considerations regarding their future in Romania. Through the creation of the Associations of Water Users for Irrigation and the reorganization of the existing National Company for Land Reclamation, another step is being taken towards a new stage of rehabilitation and modernization of irrigation systems, and thus to their rational exploitation, according to market economy principles, as required by the new social and economic situation in Romania. The paper also presents the equipment in operation in Romania – classic Romanianmade equipment (aluminiu lateral sprinklers) as well as newly-introduced Romanian and imported equipment.
