A decision support tool for the design, management and evaluation of surface irrigation systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The adoption of improved surface irrigation design and management practices is inhibited both by a low awareness amongst irrigators of the variables affecting irrigation performance and the difficulty of quantifying the benefits associated with alternative practices. Simulation modelling may be used to address both of these issues. This paper reports on the use of the surface irrigation model SIRMOD to demonstrate the principles of surface irrigation performance and provide quantitative data on the performance of alternative irrigation design and management practices to irrigators and other decision makers. The potential to use this data in economic assessments is also presented.
