Irrigation Efficiencies

Subtopic: Irrigation Efficiencies

Question Statement:

In an irrigation check basin, four penetration depth measurements are $10\text{ cm}, 12\text{ cm}, 8\text{ cm}, 10\text{ cm}$. The mean depth is $d = 10.0\text{ cm}$. Absolute deviations are $|10-10|=0, |12-10|=2, |8-10|=2, |10-10|=0$. Average deviation is $\bar{y} = (0+2+2+0)/4 = 1.0\text{ cm}$. Water distribution efficiency $\eta_d = 100(1 - \bar{y}/d)$ in percent is:

Answer Key:

90

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$\eta_d = 100 \times (1 - 1.0 / 10.0) = 100 \times 0.9 = 90.0\%$.
