Summary: Finding of optimum design and construction solutions of hydroamelioration drainage systems is the basic precondition for successful crop farming and agricultural development in general. Performing of this task requires previous field survey and investigations, as well as appropriate analyses and estimates. The data on construction and maintenance of hydroamelioration drainage systems in the period from 1975 to 1990 were systematized, covering 28 amelioration areas in Croatia (total 1,789,070 ha). Based on important field characteristics and specific requirements of particular crops, it is essential to define the major design features of hydroamelioration drainage systems, as well as quantities of major amelioration works. This also includes determining of construction costs, as well as maintenance costs of amelioration systems, with respect to the influence of costs on crop farming. The objective of the research is to apply the results in order to develop the construction and maintenance standards for hydroamelioration systems in Croatia, as such standards had not been elaborated by 1990. On the basis of optimum construction solutions, the level of water management compensation will be determined to cover the costs of regular maintenance of hydroamelioration drainage systems, with a view of their efficient performance, i.e. maintaining of the optimum water and air regime on agricultural land.

Keywords: catchment area, design, construction, maintenance, costs, hydroamelioration systems, optimum solution, standards, watwr regime, land, criteria, development

Research goals: The principal objective of the project is to find optimum design and construction solutions for hydroamelioration drainage facilities and systems. The existing experience has indicated inadequate understanding of influences of local features in amelioration areas on the construction and maintenance costs of drainage facilities and systems. Therefore, the research process included some analyses and estimates in order to define optimum design and construction elements. In this framework, some natural, technical, as well as financial indices were obtained for design and construction solutions, and also for maintenance costs.
