How to Calculate and Solve for Application Efficiency for Trickle Irrigation | Irrigation Water Requirement

Last Updated on April 21, 2024

The image above represents application efficiency for trickle irrigation. Two essential parameters are needed to calculate the application efficiency for trickle irrigation: emission uniformity (Eu) and application efficiency for sprinkler (E_a).

The formula for calculating application efficiency for trickle irrigation:

E_ta = E_u x E_a x 100

Where:

E_ta = Application Efficiency for Trickle Irrigation
E_u = Emission Uniformity
And, E_a = Application Efficiency for Sprinkler

Let’s solve an example;
Find the application efficiency for trickle irrigation when the emission uniformity is 32, and the application efficiency for sprinkler is 4.

This implies that;

E_u = Emission Uniformity = 32
E_a = Application Efficiency for Sprinkler = 4

That is, E_ta = E_u x E_a x 100
E_ta = (32) x (4) x 100
E_ta = 12800

Therefore, the application efficiency for trickle irrigation is 12800%.

Calculating for the Emission Uniformity when the Application Efficiency for Trickle Irrigation and the Application Efficiency for Sprinkler are Given.

E_u = ^E_ta / _{Ea x 100}

Where;

E_u = Emission Uniformity
E_ta = Application Efficiency for Trickle Irrigation
And E_a = Application Efficiency for Sprinkler

Let’s solve an example;
Find the emission uniformity when the application efficiency for trickle irrigation is 60 and the application efficiency for sprinkler is 2.

This implies that;

E_ta = Application Efficiency for Trickle Irrigation = 60
E_a = Application Efficiency for Sprinkler = 2

So, E_u = ^E_ta / _{Ea x 100}
E_u = ⁶⁰ / _{2 x 100}
Then, E_u = ⁶⁰ / ₂₀₀
E_u = 0.3

Therefore, the emission uniformity is 0.3%.

Calculating for the Application Efficiency for Sprinkler when the Application Efficiency for Trickle Irrigation and the Emission Uniformity are Given

E_a = ^E_ta / _{Eu x 100}

Where;

E_a = Application Efficiency for Sprinkler
E_ta = Application Efficiency for Trickle Irrigation
And, E_u = Emission Uniformity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the application efficiency for sprinkler when the application efficiency for trickle irrigation is 48 and the emission uniformity is 4.

This implies that;

E_ta = Application Efficiency for Trickle Irrigation= 48
E_u = Emission Uniformity = 4

So, E_a = ^E_ta / _{Eu x 100}
E_a = ⁴⁸ / _{4 x 100}
Then, E_a = ⁴⁸ / ₄₀₀
E_a = 0.12

Therefore, the application efficiency for sprinkler is 0.12%.
