System approach and sustainable use of water and energy in all kinds of human activities is not required for financial reasons only. It is also a legal and community obligation. The paper deals with the application of Critical Period Method for irrigation system design on case study of the local football club ‘’Obreš’’, on location of Sveti Ilija, Croatia. Two variants of the irrigation system are considering, Variant I and Variant II. Both of the variants of the irrigation system includes a solar photovoltaic (PV) generator and inverter, a pump station, a water reservoir and pipelines. Variant I is based on the water tower reservoir, while Variant II is based on the solar batteries. PV energy is used as energy source for the pump station. Groundwater in combination with rainwater is used for irrigation water demands. Proposed solution is in accordance with the world and European legislation, directives and strategies related to the negative impacts of climate changes and greenhouse gas emissions. |
