Abstract

Any water applied above that needed to grow a crop is inefficient use of water. In order to determine how much irrigation water to apply, it is needed to estimate irrigation efficiency. There are many definitions of irrigation efficiency. Which one to use depends on which aspect one is interested in. Efficiency can be measured at the scale of a whole catchment, at the individual plant scale, and at almost any level in between. The scale of measurement depends on the focus of the person doing the measurement. A range of issues affect irrigation efficiency.
