Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Irrigation Water Conveyance and Application Methods

Subtopic: Design and evaluation of irrigation methods

Question Statement:

In a field evaluation test of a drip irrigation system with 25 test emitters, the average discharge of the lowest one-quarter (lowest $25\%$) of emitters is $q_{25} = 3.6\text{ L/h}$ and the mean discharge of all sampled emitters is $\bar{q} = 4.0\text{ L/h}$. The design Emission Uniformity ($EU = \frac{q_{25}}{\bar{q}} \times 100$) in percentage is ________ (answer in integer).

Answer Key:

90

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Emission Uniformity ($EU$) is defined as: $EU = \frac{q_{25}}{\bar{q}} \times 100$ Given: • $q_{25} = 3.6\text{ L/h}$ • $\bar{q} = 4.0\text{ L/h}$ $EU = \frac{3.6}{4.0} \times 100 = 0.90 \times 100 = 90\%$
