Level Basin Design and Management in the Absence of Water Control Part I: Evaluation of Completion-of-Advance Irrigation

Zero inertia modeling was used to evaluate completion-of-advance irrigation in level basins with no run-off for use where inadequate control of water delivery exists. Distribution uniformity was good to extremely high for a wide range of conditions. The average depth of infiltration varied only moderately with large differences in the unit inflow rate. The effects on performance caused by errors in the soil surface parameters were moderate and...
