What is SURDEV?
In 2001, a partnership among the International Institute for Land Reclamation and Improvement (ILRI), Wageningen Environmental Research, and the Institute of Land and Water Management of the Catholic University of Leuven (ILWM) in Belgium resulted in the development of the SURDEV software suite. This suite comprises three distinct programs: BASDEV, which is suited for level basins; BORDEV, crafted for sloping borders; and FURDEV, aimed at graded furrows. Surface irrigation relies on gravity to effectively spread water across agricultural landscapes. As gravity acts on the water, it flows from one end of the field to the other, allowing for gradual infiltration into the soil. Among the various techniques utilized in surface irrigation, level basins (which can feature level furrows), sloping borders, and sloping furrows stand out as the most commonly implemented methods, all designed to ensure efficient water delivery. The key objective of these irrigation strategies is to provide crops with water in accurate quantities, at ideal times, and consistently, promoting uniform growth while reducing water loss. Additionally, the thoughtful implementation of these methods can contribute to enhanced agricultural efficiency and environmental sustainability, ultimately benefiting farmers and ecosystems alike.
