Selection of flow rate and irrigation duration for high performance bay irrigation

Abstract

The maximum efficiency attainable by surface irrigation in any particular situation is determined largely by the soil infiltration characteristic and the flow rate onto the field. Performance evaluations have suggested that higher flow rates than those traditionally recommended can lead to increases of about 20% in the application efficiency of bay irrigation across the dairy regions of southern Australia. However, substantially reduced irrigation durations are required to realise these efficiency gains and greater precision is required in the selection and management of these shorter durations.
