ON ISSUE OF EQUIPPING WATER METERING POINTS WITH TELEMETRY

Abstract

tions. Results: based on the use of information and functioning simulation models using the target function, a dependence based on the use of the included variables allows making a choice of the best option for equipping water metering points with telemetry tools was pro-posed. A calculation of equipping the water metering points with telemetry using the example of the Raigorod irrigation system of the FSBI “Volgogradmeliovodkhoz” Authority was made. Based on the calculation, a schedule for choosing the best option for equipping water metering points with telemetry tools was built. The graph showed that the optimal (economi-cally feasible) option of equipping water metering points with telemetry is equipping seven out of 10 water metering points planned for a one-year payback period of this event. Conclu-sions: the multicriteria task of constructing a simulation model comes down to determining the best option for equipping water metering points with telemetry with maximum profit and minimum cost. To make the right decision on equipping water metering points with telemetry in each specific case, it is necessary to conduct a full examination of these water metering points from the point of view of the technical condition, to develop a feasibility study on options relat-ed to the re-equipment of water metering points, as well as to make appropriate information and adjustments to the design and engineering documentation for water metering points.
