1 Kundu, S. S.; Skogerboe, G. V. 1980. Field evaluation of methods for measuring basin irrigation performance. Fort Collins, CO, USA: Colorado State University. xviii, 118p. (Water management technical report no.59)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7.8 G000 KUN Record No: H0345)
A detailed description of field procedures employed to obtain necessary data for evaluating basin irrigation performances of several irrigation events is outlined. Two analytical techniques are described and used for calculating infiltrated water depths through station-areas delineated by a grid system within the basin. Both techniques require an infiltrometer test and infiltration opportunity time of each station-area during an irrigation event. A modified volume balance technique is described and is used to develop an infiltration equation which should represent the actual infiltration characteristics of the entire basin during an irrigation event. The infiltrated water depth of each station-area is also calculated by using the infiltration equation developed by this method. All three methods are used for measuring basin irrigation performance and their applicability for measuring performance parameters is compared.
