Thank you for visiting the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. We like to provide our blog readers with news, tips and advice about sprinkler irrigation and drainage. Today we would like to introduce an irrigation concept known as water application efficiency.
Water application efficiency is very important for system selection and design and for irrigation management. One major factor influencing economic and argonomic vitality of the farming business is the ability of an irrigation system to apply water uniformly and efficiently to the irrigated area.
Attainable water application efficiencies vary greatly with irrigation system type and management.
Irrigation efficiency is important for the conservation of agricultural resources since it can have significant implications concerning system design and cost, operational costs, and crop yields. Water losses are predominantly affected by management, while uniformity is predominantly affected by system design. Irrigation efficiency is divided into water losses and application uniformity of water application. When water losses are large or application uniformity is low, the irrigation efficiency is considered low.
