Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of Beşköprü Village Irrigation Cooperative in Ankara Polatlı District in terms of water use efficiency, agricultural efficiency, and economic efficiency. Beşköprü Village Irrigation Cooperative was selected for performance evaluation. In the study carried out, the irrigation water distributed in the project area was found to be 660,000 m3 and the annual irrigation water amount distributed to the irrigation area was found to be 942.86 m3/ha. The annual amount of irrigation water distributed to the unit irrigated area was determined as 1885.71 m3/ha, the annual water supply rate was determined as 0.15, and the return rate of the investment as 103%. As a result of the economic evaluation, the ratio of maintenance cost to income was calculated as 14.9%, and the total operating, maintenance and management costs per unit area were calculated as 928.57 TL/ha (97.33 $/ha). Water fee collection performance in the field is 100%. The total agricultural production value in the area is 7,512,250 TL (787,447.59 $), the income obtained for the unit irrigation area is 10,731.78 TL/ha (1124.92 $/ha), the income obtained for the irrigated unit area is 21,463.57 TL/ha (2249.85 $/ha). The income obtained for the unit irrigation water taken into the network was determined as 11.38 TL/m3 (1.19 $/m3), and the income obtained for the consumed unit irrigation water was determined as 2.33 TL/m3 (0.24 $/m3).

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Ankara Polatlı İlçesi Beşköprü Köyü Sulama Kooperatifinin su kullanım verimliliği, tarımsal verimlilik ve ekonomik verimlilik açısından performansını değerlendirmektir. Beşköprü Köyü Sulama Kooperatifi performans değerlendirmesi için seçilmiştir. Yürütülen çalışmada proje alanında yıllık dağıtılan sulama suyu 660 000 m3, birim sulama alanına dağıtılan yıllık sulama suyu miktarı 942,86 m3/ha olarak bulunmuştur. Birim sulanan alana dağıtılan yıllık sulama suyu miktarı 1885,71 m3/ha, yıllık su temini oranı 0,15, yatırımın geri dönüşüm oranı %103 olarak belirlenmiştir. Yapılan ekonomik değerlendirme sonucunda bakım masrafının gelire oranı %14,9, birim alana düşen toplam işletme, bakım, yönetim masrafı ise 928,57 TL/ha (97,33 $/ha) olarak hesaplanmıştır. Arazide su ücreti toplama performansı %100 dür. Alanda toplam tarımsal üretim değeri 7 512 250 TL (787 447,59 $), birim sulama alanına karşılık elde edilen gelir 10731,78 TL/ha (1124,92 $/ha), sulanan birim alana karşılık elde edilen gelir 21 463,57 TL (2249,85 $/ha) dır. Şebekeye alınan birim sulama suyuna karşılık elde edilen gelir 11,38 TL/m3 (1,19 $/m3), tüketilen birim sulama suyuna karşılık elde edilen gelir ise 2,33 TL/m3 (0,24 $/m3) olarak belirlenmiştir.
