Pumping stations are among the largest consumers of electrical energy in irrigation and water management systems. Therefore, improving the efficiency of pumping equipment is one of the most important tasks in reducing energy consumption and operating costs. This study investigates the operating characteristics and energy performance of 32D-19 centrifugal pumps installed at the Dustlik Pumping Station. The hydraulic and energy parameters of the pumping units, including flow rate, head, power consumption, efficiency, and cavitation reserve, were analyzed. Special attention was given to the interaction between the pump and its driving electric motor. The results indicate that the installed pumping units provide stable operation under varying hydraulic conditions and maintain a relatively high efficiency level. The research confirms the importance of proper operating conditions and periodic energy audits for increasing the overall efficiency of pumping stations.
