The evaluation of border irrigation requires the use of a model that relates the operating conditions to the irrigation results, such as: (a) total water quantity delivered to the border; (b) water losses outside the border by runoff; (c) average depth of application; and (d) water distribution within the border. Evaluation for improving border irrigation can be carried out in two major ways: (a) field tests; and (b) theoretical models. The improvement of border irrigation based on field tests requires the estimation of the infiltration equation and the advance and recession for a specific inlet stream and border parameters (slope, length, surface). The performance parameters can then be calculated to determine the irrigation performance and the need for improvements. Then, the operating conditions that are to be changed can be determined. This analysis comprises two stages: (a) utilization of the field test data already available; and (b) implementation of the recommended changes for further field tests. Theoretical models for the evaluation and improvement of border irrigation performance enable one to predict the water distribution and losses for a given set of conditions, without direct field measurements. Only limited amounts of preliminary field work are required to predict the irrigation performance for a wide range of parameters and variables. Available models are described, as well as the process for applying these models.
