Irrigation system performance
• Conveyance efficiency
Ec = (Vf / Vt) x 100
• Application efficiency
Ea = (Vs / Vf) x 100
• Storage efficiency
Es = [Vs / (Vfc – Va)] x 100
Where
Vf = Volume of irrigation water that reaches the farm or field
Vt = Volume of irrigation of water diverted from the water source
Vs = Volume of irrigation water stored in the root zone
Vfc = Volume capacity at field capacity in the crop root zone
Va = Volume of water in the root zone prior to an irrigation event
Cont…
• Scheme irrigation efficiency
• Overall irrigation efficiency
Eo = (Ec x Ea x Es ) x100
• Effective irrigation efficiency
Ee = [Eo + (FR) x (1 - Ea)] x100
Where
FR = fraction of surface runoff , seepage, and deep percolation that is recovered
Crop response to irrigation
• Crop water use efficiency
CWUE = Yg / ET
• Transpiration ratio (dry matter basis)
TR = ET / Yg
• Irrigation water use efficiency
IWUE = Yg / IR
Where
Yg = Economic yield
ET = crop water use
IR = irrigation water applied
Questions
A stream of 140lps was diverted from a canal and 110 lps were delivered to the field. An
area of 1.65 ha was irrigated in eight hours. The effective depth of root zone was 1.85
m. The runoff loss in the field was 435 m3. Available moisture holding capacity of the
soil is 20 cm/m depth of soil.
Determine the water conveyance efficiency, water application efficiency, water
storage efficiency and irrigation was started at a moisture extraction level of 50 percent
of the available moisture.
Solution
• Water conveyance efficiency, Ec = 100 x (Vf/Vd) = 100 x (110/140) = 78.5%
• Water application efficiency, Ea = 100(Vs/Vf)
Water delivered to the field = (110 x 8 x 3600) / 1000 = 3168 m3
Water stored in the root zone = 3168 – 435 = 2733m3
= 100 x (2733 x / 3168) = 86.26%
• Water storage efficiency, Es= 100 x (Vs/Vrz)
Water holding capacity of the root zone = 20 x 1.85 = 37 cm
Moisture required in the root zone = [37 – (37 x 50)/100] x 1.65 x 10,000
= 3052.5 m3
= 96.3%
Irrigation water losses
Serageldin (2010)
Reasons for poor irrigation efficiency
• Non-stop flow of water to the field when the
amount of water needed has been delivered
• Absence of volumetric supply of water from the
water source to the field
• Non measurable soil moisture level at the time of
irrigation
Cont…
• Improper field levelling which cause poor water
distribution across the field
• Excessive slopes which cause high runoff losses
• Application of water not based on intake
characteristics of the soil
Improving irrigation efficiency
• Less stress on water resources, less losses of water
and nutrients to groundwater and surface water
resources
• Minimise irrigation inputs while continuing to
improve production and overall profits
• Allow a greater area to be irrigated with a given
volume of water

program CROPWAT.
• Used to calculate crop water requirements, irrigation supply
and irrigation scheduling for various crops for a range of
climatological stations worldwide.
• CROPWAT requires local climatic data, but if these are not
available the software can use a representative station from
the CLIMWAT database.

Problems
Calculate field water supply, when following data is given
Crop: Maize
Cultivated area = 1 ha
Plant coverage: 100%
Reference ET = 7.216 mm/day
Average crop coefficient (Crop Kc) = 1.20
Effective rainfall = 2 mm
Irrigation efficiency = 70%
Crop Water Requirement (CWR) = ?
Irrigation Requirement = ?
Field Water Supply for one hectare = ?
Solution
Crop Water Requirement (CWR) = Reference ET x Crop Kc
= 7.216 x 1.20 = 8.659 mm/day
Irrigation Requirement (NIR) = CWR – Effective rainfall
= 8.659 - 2 = 6.659 mm/day
Field Water Supply/ha = (Area converge x IR)/ irrigation efficiency
= 1 x 6.659 x 1.428
= 95.07 m3/day
References

water requirements”
• FAO 33: "Yield response to water“

  • 9. Crop response to irrigation • Crop water use efficiency CWUE = Yg / ET • Transpiration ratio (dry matter basis) TR = ET / Yg • Irrigation water use efficiency IWUE = Yg / IR Where Yg = Economic yield ET = crop water use IR = irrigation water applied
  • 10. Questions A stream of 140lps was diverted from a canal and 110 lps were delivered to the field. An area of 1.65 ha was irrigated in eight hours. The effective depth of root zone was 1.85 m. The runoff loss in the field was 435 m3. Available moisture holding capacity of the soil is 20 cm/m depth of soil. Determine the water conveyance efficiency, water application efficiency, water storage efficiency and irrigation was started at a moisture extraction level of 50 percent of the available moisture.
  • 11. Solution • Water conveyance efficiency, Ec = 100 x (Vf/Vd) = 100 x (110/140) = 78.5% • Water application efficiency, Ea = 100(Vs/Vf) Water delivered to the field = (110 x 8 x 3600) / 1000 = 3168 m3 Water stored in the root zone = 3168 – 435 = 2733m3 = 100 x (2733 x / 3168) = 86.26% • Water storage efficiency, Es= 100 x (Vs/Vrz) Water holding capacity of the root zone = 20 x 1.85 = 37 cm Moisture required in the root zone = [37 – (37 x 50)/100] x 1.65 x 10,000 = 3052.5 m3 = 96.3%
  • 13. Reasons for poor irrigation efficiency • Non-stop flow of water to the field when the amount of water needed has been delivered • Absence of volumetric supply of water from the water source to the field • Non measurable soil moisture level at the time of irrigation
  • 14. Cont… • Improper field levelling which cause poor water distribution across the field • Excessive slopes which cause high runoff losses • Application of water not based on intake characteristics of the soil
  • 15. Improving irrigation efficiency • Less stress on water resources, less losses of water and nutrients to groundwater and surface water resources • Minimise irrigation inputs while continuing to improve production and overall profits • Allow a greater area to be irrigated with a given volume of water
