Sensitivity Analysis of Performance Indices of Surge-Flow Irrigation with System Variables Using the SIRMOD Model
July 2024 • Catalina Romay, Alejandra Ezquerra‐Canalejo, Guido Fernando Botta
A current challenge of irrigationengineering is to modernize surface irrigation. For example, surge flow irrigation has the potential to increase the efficiency of applying irrigationwater. The objective of this study was to perform a sensitivity analysis using the performance indices: Application Efficiency (AE), Storage Efficiency (SE), Distribution Efficiency (DE), Deep Percolation (DP), and Runoff (RO), and to investigate their relationship with the main system variables: length (L), unit flow rate (Qo), surge…
