IPE: Model for Management and Control of Furrow Irrigation in Real Time

Infiltration parameter estimation (IPE) is a simulation model of furrow irrigation that allows us to estimate infiltration parameters in real time. The model calculates infiltration parameters from measured advance times in the field using a kinematic wave model that includes spatial and temporal variability of infiltration due to variations of the wetted perimeter. The model then calculates cutback inflow rates to reduce runoff and the...
