Improved Surface Volume Estimates for Surface IrrigationVolume-Balance Calculations

This article reviews procedures for estimating surface storage in surface irrigation volume balance calculations. Those procedures are based on the assumption of a power law relationship for flow depth as a function of distance along the stream. The analysis uses zero-inertia simulation and a system of dimensionless variables to examine how the depth profile varies as a function of hydraulic conditions when infiltration is given by the empirical...
