“…Table 1 shows the basic data used in the process described in this paper for a volcanic ash derived soil and cropped in double-row sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris) with a furrow spacing of 1 m. The Kostiakov-Lewis cumulative infiltration equation was used to describe the infiltration process for this type of soil on the basis of previous studies (Holzapfel et al, 1984;1988). The simulations were generated through a combination of different values of the furrow irrigation variables (inflow discharge, length of furrow, and cutoff time), to obtain a wide range of variation in parameter values.…”

“…To study the operation, management and design process in furrow irrigation and establish relations between the variables and performance irrigation parameters, 300 simulations were made with a volume-balance model developed by Holzapfel et al (1984), previously tested at a field in Chillán, Chile.

This study analyzes the relationship between the variables of furrow irrigation and the irrigation performance parameters, crop yield, and deep percolation as a basis for furrow irrigation design and management. Application efficiency (AE), requirement efficiency (RE), requirement distribution efficiency (RDE), total distribution efficiency (TDE), and furrow irrigation management, operation, and design variables (inflow discharge, furrow length, and irrigation cutoff time) were correlated. The relationship between performance irrigation parameters and relative yield was also examined. In addition, environmental aspects related to leaching and runoff were also presented for each of the parameters. Study results indicate that increasing the length of the furrow reduces RE, RDE, and TDE values. However, an increase in inflow discharge and cutoff time increases efficiency. In contrast, an increase in furrow length increases AE while an increase in inflow discharge and cutoff time reduces it. Unlike AE, RE, RDE, and TDE parameters are well-correlated with relative yield. TDE and AE are recommended parameters for the design, management, and operation of furrow irrigation systems, in order to establish good irrigation practices, and to prevent contamination.

“…(3) the rate of recession of water along the furrow or strip after the water delivery has been cut off. The shape of water infiltrated to a depth depends on numerous factors, such as the variability of the soil, flow channel shape, type of irrigation (furrow versus border strip), inflow rate, irrigation hydraulics, duration of the irrigation, and the field slope (Holzapfel et al 1984;Blair & Smerdon 1988;Valiantzas et al 2000).…”

Water infiltration and storage under surface irrigation are evaluated, based on the initial soil water content and inflow rate as well as on the irrigation parameters and efficiencies. For that purpose, a field experiment was conducted using fruitful grape grown in alluvial clay soil at Shebin El-Kom in 2008 grape season. To evaluate the water storage and distribution under partially wetted furrow irrigation in comparison to the traditional border irrigation as a control method, two irrigation treatments were applied. They are known as wet (WT) and dry (DT) treatments, at which water was applied when the available soil water (ASW) reached 65% and 50%, respectively. The coefficient of variation (CV) was 6.2 and 10.2% for WT and DT respectively under the furrow irrigation system as compared to 8.5% in border. Water was deeply percolated as 11.9 and 18.9% for wet and dry furrow treatments respectively, as compared with 11.1% for control with no deficit. The application efficiency achieved was 86.2% for wet furrow irrigation achieving a high grape yield (30.7 t/ha). The relation between the infiltration (cumulative depth, Z and rate, I) and opportunity time (t0) in minutes for WT and DT treatments was: ZWT = 0.528 t00.6, ZDT = 1.2 t00.501, IWT = 19 t0–0.4, IDT = 36 t0–0.498. Also, empirical power form equations were obtained for the measured advance and recession times along the furrow length during the irrigation stages of advance, storage, depletion, and recession.
