Abstract :The agriculture has the biggest share of the water consumption. Thus, design of irrigation networks which is vital for agriculture becomes very important for water conservation. Among the different types of irrigation network systems the most efficient irrigation method is known as pressurized irrigation. This study aims to better understand how to design and model a pressurized irrigation network. An Excel VBA (Visual basic for application) program is coded for optimization with the first formula of Clément. "Network Optimization” program which uses the same method but there is limited input section is used to control the output. So, the importance of how the minimal changes in input gives big differences in output is revealed.Keywords : pressurized, irrigation, optimization, clement
