Identification of Areas Irrigated by Central Pivot in the State of Goiás, Brazil

Abstract

The state of Goiás, Brazil offers a territorial division with well-defined areas in terms of water capacity. The water found in these dividers is used in various agriculture segments. There were identified in the Hydrographic Basins in the State, areas irrigated by central pivots used in irrigated agriculture that is developing very fast and this can become a problem if a control is not done. This study aimed to collect data, identify and quantify the distribution of irrigation systems of the central pivot type licensed and operating in a spatial format in the Hydrographic Basins in the State of Goiás. It raised digital data and physical media in order to understand how these were able to characterize the research area. It analyzed the maps, existing in the database of the State through digital (SIEG-State System of Statistics and Geographic Information of Goiás). With the use of AutoCAD programs, version 2018, there was utilized the geographic information plataform QGIS 2.14.19 with GRASS 7.2.1 has organized thematic maps of hydrographs and pivots. This material provided the possibility of compiling the fundamental data to structure the information that supports the descriptive dynamics of the number of pivots even in separate basins. This information analyzed and compared to other publications about pivots in Goiás contributed to the formation and elaboration of a data model for the year 2017. In the State of Goiás, Brazil, there is a total of 3,223 central pivot type equipment in operation irrigating an area corresponding to 234,226.12 hectares.

This market is more restricted and demanding in quality than the dry grain market; however, husked and unhusked ears have a high added value and generate a higher profitability per hectare (Rodrigues et al 2018).…”
