  Performance Evaluation of Furrow Irrigation Hydraulics Using WinSRFR Model: The Case of Batu Degaga Small Scale Irrigation Scheme
  Author(s): Chari Abelti*
  
  Furrow irrigation is the dominant surface irrigation method applied worldwide. However, the performance of furrow irrigation is low. Advanced simulation models of surface irrigation have been proved to be effective for the evaluation of system design and management. Batu degaga irrigation scheme is one of the small-scale irrigation schemes in ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the hydraulic performance of furrow irrigation at batu degaga small scale irrigation scheme using the WinSRFR model. A field experiment was conducted and all measurements used for input parameters were collected from the field. The collected data were processed by Microsoft EXCEL and data analysis was conducted using WinSRFR 4.1.3 software. The statistical indicators of NRMSE, R2, RE, d, and λ were used for the comparison between measured and simulated advance time, and recession.. Read More»
