Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the energy consumption of the sprinkler irrigation system operated with ground water resources. The study was conducted in the local farmer conditions in Konya-Çumra plain in 2004 and 2005 year irrigation season. The research was conducted on sprinkler systems by taking into account this case. According to results obtained; in sprinkler irrigation systems the vertical axle pumping induced by pto, energy consumpation was 34.3 MJha-1mm-1, in vertical axle pump induced by electric motor and submersible pumping systems, this value were computed as 42.9 and 37.1 MJha-1mm-1, respectivelyKeywords : Yağmurlama sulama, Yeraltı su kaynağı, Enerji tüketimi
