| Sumario: | [EN] In irrigated areas with pressurized irrigation networks, it is necessary to develop tools with the aim of improving efficient use of water and energy resources, maintaining crop yield and productivity. In this paper, the performance of the irrigation network is analyzed, considering several scenarios of on-farm irrigation scheduling for a day with the highest crop water requirements (July). The proposed methodology has been applied to the irrigation area of Tarazona de La Mancha (Albacete). For this aim, an irrigation scheduling was used for each plot of the irrigated area, based on the typical meteorological year (TMY) methodology. To analyze irrigation network performance, energy consumed and energy costs were computed at each scenario of opening of hydrants. To compute hydraulic variables, EPANET® toolkit was used in combination with MATLAB®.
