Abstract

As the availability of water for irrigation becomes more limiting it is important to use the available water effectively and all potential avenues for improving irrigation efficiency should be examined. Improving irrigation system uniformity can lead to production gains and less loss of water through drainage, but such data are difficult to collect experimentally. Keywords: irrigation variability, LUCI, simulation modelling
