    IRRIGATION

    1. Water conveyance Efficiency


    It takes into account, conveyance or transit losses such as
    seepage through canal and evaporation through it.

    𝑊𝑓
    𝜂𝑐 = × 100
    𝑊𝑟

    Where, Wf = water delivered to the field


    Wr = water delivered from river or stream
    IRRIGATION

    2. Water Application Efficiency


    It is the ratio of water stored in root zone to the water delivered to the field.

    𝑊𝑠
    𝜂𝑎 = × 100
    𝑊𝑓

    Where, WS = water weight stored in root zone


    WS = Wf – deep percolation – runoff
    Wf = water delivered to the field

    This efficiency is also called as farm efficiency and it depends on the irrigation
    technique that has been adopted.
    IRRIGATION

    3. Water use efficiency


    It is the ratio of water used beneficially or consumptively to the water
    delivered to the field.

    𝑊𝑢
    𝜂𝑢 = × 100
    𝑊𝑓
    Where, Wf = water delivered to the field
    WU = consumptively used water
    IRRIGATION

    4. Water Storage Efficiency


    This is the ratio of actual water stored in the root zone to the water
    needed to be stored to bring the moisture content upto field
    capacity.
    IRRIGATION

    5. Water Distribution efficiency


    This evaluate the degree to which water is uniformly distributed to the
    root zone throughout the field area.

    𝑦
    𝜂𝑑 = 1 − × 100
    𝑑

    Where, d = average depth


    y = Average numerical deviation in the depth of water stored
    from the average depth stored during irrigation
    IRRIGATION

    Question – the depths of penetration along the length of a border strip at points 30 m apart were proved. There observed
    values are 2 m, 1.9 m, 1.8 m, 1.6 m and 1.5 m. Compute the water distribution efficiency.

    Solution –
    𝑦
    Water distribution efficiency, 𝜂𝑑 = 1 − 𝑑 × 100
    Where, d = average depth
    2+1.9+1.8+1.6+1.5
    d= = 1.76
    5
    And y = average numerical deviation
    1
    y = 5 ( 2 − 1.76 + 1.9 − 1.76 + 1.8 − 1.76 + 1.76 − 1.6 + 1.76 − 1.5 = 0.168
    Therefore,
    0.168
    𝜂𝑑 = 1 − × 100
    1.76

    𝜂𝑑 = 90.45%
    IRRIGATION

    6. Consumptive Use Efficiency


    It is the ratio of water used consumptively to the net amount of water
    from the root zone.
