Implementation of relatively new surface irrigation methods in Colorado to conserve water and energy is discussed. Surge irrigation is the intermittent application of surges of water to two sets of furrows. Cablegation is the automation of gated pipe irrigation and automatic application of continuous stream size cutback. These two new methods of surface irrigation have the potential for water and energy conservation. Under the project described in this paper, these two irrigation methods were applied in Colorado and were evaluated with regard to their ability to conserve water and energy and to improve irrigation efficiencies. Both methods can be implemented as a permanent, costly installation or as a portable, inexpensive system. Both types of installations were evaluated and studied. For surge, collapsible tubes were used as the distribution pipe which reduced the cost of the irrigation system and made it affordable for developing countries. It was found that surge can be easily adapted to many field conditions while cablegation needed considerable adjustments and fine tuning.

Drainage reduction through improved irrigation is needed for addressing the problem of drainage water disposal in the San Joaquin Valley in California. Options for improving irrigation include improved management of existing systems (irrigation scheduling, duration of water applications), upgrading traditional surface irrigation systems (reduced field length, increased unit flow rate, surge irrigation, furrow compaction, tailwater recovery), and converting to pressurized irrigation systems (hand-move and linear-move sprinklers, low-energy precision application (LEPA) machines and rip irrigation). The most effective upgrade of surface irrigation systems for reducing subsurface drainage is a reduced field length coupled with reduced irrigation times. Increased furrow flow rates resulted in little change in drainage in some cases. Surge irrigation offers an opportunity of reducing subsurface drainage by only about 1/3. Converting to pressurized irrigation methods can substantially reduce subsurface drainage, but may be uneconomical in some cases. Analysis of large-scale field comparisons of irrigation methods revealed that generalizing about the best irrigation method is difficult. Economic analyses of these comparisons showed a well-managed furrow system to be more profitable than a subsurface drip system in one case, but a subsurface drip system to be more profitable compared to a marginally managed furrow system in another case. The analyses also revealed that disposal costs of subsurface drainage water may need to be much higher than projected costs to economically justify converting from furrow irrigation to irrigation systems with high capital costs.
