This study aims to investigate and develop proper operational water management tools for the Rahad irrigation scheme. The Rahad project is considered as being among one of the schemes that could have a huge potential for expansion in the near future after the heightening of the Roseires Dam. The water supply sources for the Rahad scheme are the Blue Nile River and the Rahad seasonal river. The study explores options of augmenting the supply from the Rahad River during the wet season with the goal of minimizing sedimentation problems on the supply canals, reducing operation and maintenance costs associated with the Mena pumping station. Crop water requirements for the Rahad scheme were computed based on the historical cultivated areas of the different crops for the period 2000-2004. The Water Delivery Performance (WDP) Indicator for the scheme was evaluated. Frequency analysis and flow duration curves for the historical records of the Rahad seasonal stream were conducted in order to establish the yield of the Rahad River at different assurance levels. It is found that the yield from the Rahad seasonal river with 90% assurance level could be adequate to maintain an optimum performance of the irrigation system. Such proposed water management tools would improve the WDP by more than 25%. The dependence on the Rahad River during the wet season to meet the project irrigation water demands is anticipated to significantly minimize the maintenance and operation cost of diverting water from the Blue Nile.

The underperformance problem of large-scale irrigation systems particularly in developing countries, has adversely affected levels of production of those systems. The fact that these irrigation systems are not managed in response to their performance has been identified as the main reason behind their malfunctioning. A performance-oriented management approach is demonstrated here to help irrigation system managers take the right decisions, through continuous in-season performance assessment. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer satellite images of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA-AVHRR) for the year 2000, complemented by water release data, were used to assess the performance of the Rahad irrigation scheme, Sudan (126 000 ha), on a 10-day time step. The Surface Energy Balance Algorithm (SEBAL) was used to process the NOAA-AVHRR images. The decisions on irrigation water allocation are guided by maps of the relative water supply and soil moisture content generated for the last time step. Further decision support could be realized using the performance indicators of the system and the soil water balance for the given time step. A semiautomatic computer program was developed which can be easily used by field staff to support their management decisions. It is anticipated that the application of such an approach will improve the performance of large-scale irrigation systems, and support development of a performance-oriented management culture among the staff of these irrigation systems.
