Irrigation Efficiencies:
(i) Water Conveyance Efficiency, (η
c)
where, W
f = Water delivered to the field
W
r = Water delivered from the reservoir
(ii) Water Application Efficiency (η
a)
where, W
s = Water stored in the root zone
W
f = Water delivered to the field
(iii) Water use Efficiency (η
u)
where, W
u = Water use consumptively.
W
f = Water delivered to the filed
(iv) Water storage Efficiency (η
u)
where, W
s’ = Actual water stored in the root zone
W
f = Water needed to store to bring the water content up to field capacity.
(v) Water distribution Efficiency, (η
d)
where, y = Average numerical deviation in the depth of water stored from the average depth of irrigation stored
d = Average depth during irrigation
(vi) Consumptive use Efficiency (η
cu)
where, W
cu or C
u = Water used by plant consumptively.
W
d = Net amount of water depleted from root zone.
