Irrigation Performance Evaluation

The book "Irrigation Performance Evaluation" by Melisew Misker Belay offers a comprehensive analysis of the efficiency of surface irrigation systems. It examines various management practices and system configurations that can contribute to improving irrigation efficiency. By evaluating technical performance characteristics such as transport and application efficiency, as well as the reliability of irrigation intervals, it provides a deep understanding of how to optimize irrigation systems. The book relies on empirical data collected through surveys of farmers and other stakeholders to assess the availability of institutional support services and market availability. The findings indicate that farmer involvement and a sense of ownership are crucial for the success of irrigation systems. The insights from this study are significant for professionals and decision-makers interested in enhancing irrigation efficiency and the sustainable management of water resources.
