Detailed Design of Hydro-Amelioration System ČaČak
Detailed Project summary
As one of the first irrigation systems in central Serbia, in the period 1957-1960, the Parmenac dam was constructed on the Zapadna Morava with a water intake for irrigation of the hydro-amelioration system „Čačak“ established over app. 4625 ha on the left bank of the Zapadna Morava, in Čačak field. Thirty years later (around 1987), the Čačak system operated only on 400 ha.
The hydro-amelioration system “Čačak” consists of the Parmenac dam on the Zapadna Morava, an intake structure in the left abutment of the Parmenac dam, 25 km long main channel with (design) capacity of 5.0 m3/s, and a 360 km long distribution network.
