Evaluation of the technical condition of the melioration devices in the community of Bystrzyca Kłodzka – Object Łomnica

Abstract

This article characterises technical conditions of irrigation equipment in the Bystrzyca Kłodzka commune.Due to the large spatial extent of the commune, inventory works were limited to the region of the village of Gorzanówobject Łomnica. The assessment was based on field diagnosis. To achieve this, an inventory of the Łomnica object as well as technical condition of ditches and water-amelioration facilities located in this area was carried out. A total of 32 drainage ditches, with a total length of 12 km 177m have been inventoried, as well as 13 drainage outlets and 33 culverts. The examination found that 38.4% of drainage facilities on the tested area, are in an unacceptable state, while 34.6% are in an insufficient condition. The proposed assessment of the technical condition of irrigation devices and their maintenance needs were evaluated. In addition, the potential scope of maintenance works presented to improve their operational efficiency.
