Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Irrigation Efficiencies

Subtopic: Distribution Efficiency

Question Statement:

In a border irrigation test, water depths infiltrated along 4 check points are 10 cm, 8 cm, 12 cm, and 10 cm. The mean infiltrated depth is $d = 10\text{ cm}$. Numerical deviations from the mean are $|10-10|=0$, $|8-10|=2$, $|12-10|=2$, and $|10-10|=0$, giving average numerical deviation $y = \frac{0+2+2+0}{4} = 1.0\text{ cm}$. Water distribution efficiency in % is:

Answer Key:

90.0

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$E_d = 100 \left(1 - \frac{1.0}{10.0}\right) = 100(1 - 0.10) = 90.0\%$.
