Manual for performance evaluation of sprinkler and drip irrigation systems, ICID publication no.94.

This manual on performance evaluation of on-farm irrigation methods is based on field experience in conducting performance evaluation tests of different types of sprinkler and micro irrigation systems. The manual provides a comprehensive information, both theoretical and practical; these include appropriate performance indicators, field evaluation techniques and factors affecting irrigation systems performance. Several case studies from various countries are reported and discussed. Practical aspects have touched and minute details on various performance indicators are provided, together with their field testing. Application of diagnostic analysis, the use of diagrams and field pictures, enhance the goals of the work.
