Applying Quantitative Metrics for Resilience in Irrigation Systems

Abstract

Ali Podamuhakunja*

The increasing variability in climate and water availability poses significant challenges to the resilience of irrigation systems. To ensure sustainable and effective irrigation practices, it is crucial to implement quantitative metrics that can accurately measure and enhance system resilience. This study explores the application of quantitative resilience measurement criteria in irrigation systems, focusing on metrics such as system flexibility, reliability and adaptability. By employing data-driven approaches and performance indicators, this research aims to provide a comprehensive framework for assessing and improving the resilience of irrigation infrastructure. The study highlights the benefits of using quantitative metrics to identify vulnerabilities, optimize resource management and enhance overall system performance. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, engineers and agricultural practitioners seeking to build more robust and adaptive irrigation systems in the face of evolving environmental conditions.
