But, we cant allow for plants to absorb all
this water. Why?
When water in soil decreases
Absorption become difficult
Water stress
Reduces yield
Stress during critical stages – yield reduces
considerably. i.e. Onion – bulb formation stage,
some grains – flower initiation to flowering
![Page 18: BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation · BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation Professor M.M.M. Najim Vice Chancellor South Eastern University of Sri Lanka](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022041021/5ed1d25df531e16988284ed1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Solution:
When a part of Total Available Water (TAW) decreases irrigate and provide the lost content
What % of TAW is allowed to decrease (deficit %)
This Stage is – Management Allowed Deficit
Net Irrigation Water Requirement =
(Field Capacityv – Permanent Wilting Pointv) x Root Depth x Deficit %
Field Capacity Permanent Wilting Point
Deficit %
100

Deficit % Examples
– Corn – Development Stage 50%
– Potato – Yam formation Stage 50%
– Grapes 65%
– Beans 40%
– Fruit trees 50 – 65%
![Page 20: BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation · BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation Professor M.M.M. Najim Vice Chancellor South Eastern University of Sri Lanka](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022041021/5ed1d25df531e16988284ed1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Is it enough to supply the Net Irrigation Water
Requirement? No –
Due to water losses during irrigation
Seepage and Percolation (In Field and along conveyance
canals)
Evaporation (field evaporation is included in crop
evapotranspiration )
From Canals
Field Runoff
When these losses are considered – we have to
irrigate more than the net irrigation requirement
![Page 21: BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation · BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation Professor M.M.M. Najim Vice Chancellor South Eastern University of Sri Lanka](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022041021/5ed1d25df531e16988284ed1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Total (Gross) irrigation water requirement = =
[ (Field Capacityv –Permanent Wilting Pointv) x
Root Depth x Deficit %] / Water Application
Efficiency (Ea)
or
[(Field Capacitym – Permanent Wilting Pointm) x
(Soil bulk density / water density) x Root Depth x
Deficit %] / Water Application Efficiency (Ea)
![Page 22: BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation · BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation Professor M.M.M. Najim Vice Chancellor South Eastern University of Sri Lanka](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022041021/5ed1d25df531e16988284ed1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Crop Water Requirement
– Evapotranspiration
Cannot measure easily
Calculate/estimate (using weather data)
Easiest Method – Using pan
evaporation data
![Page 23: BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation · BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation Professor M.M.M. Najim Vice Chancellor South Eastern University of Sri Lanka](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022041021/5ed1d25df531e16988284ed1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Crop water requirement (ETc) = ETo * Kc
ETo – Reference crop evapotranspiration
(Imaginary/hypothetocal grass cover)
Kc – Crop Coefficient (Under standard conditions)
Need to adjust the Crop Coefficient for field conditions
ETcadj = ETo * Kcadj
• Single and dual crop coefficieint approach
![Page 24: BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation · BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation Professor M.M.M. Najim Vice Chancellor South Eastern University of Sri Lanka](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022041021/5ed1d25df531e16988284ed1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

• Dual Crop Coefficient Approach
•
Soil evaporation Crop Transpiration
Need to calculate ETc for each growth stage
In the designing of irrigation systems, maximum water
requirement has to be considered
![Page 26: BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation · BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation Professor M.M.M. Najim Vice Chancellor South Eastern University of Sri Lanka](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022041021/5ed1d25df531e16988284ed1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ETo = EP * KP
EP – Pan Evaporation
KP – Pan Coefficient
or
When we have weather data, models like Penman, Penman-Monteith can be used to estimate ETo
FAO recommends Penman-Monteith

• Water Application Efficiency (Ea)
• Gives a general idea on the function of an
irrigation system
– possible to have a high Ea but have the irrigation
water so poorly distributed
– possible to have nearly 100 % Ea but have crop failure
if the soil profile is not filled sufficiently to meet crop
water requirements.
– does not include
• losses due to seepage
• demarcation between tail water runoff and deep percolation

Accordingly the width and the length has to be
decided

Drip Irrigation
High efficiency – 75 – 95%
Suitable for any soil and slopy land
Can fertigate

Can maintain water at optimum level
Disadvantages
Clogging when hard water is used
High capital requirement

Potential Evapotranspiration
• Evapotranspiration from a uniformly high green short crop that covers the surface completely and without any water shortage is called the potential evapotranspiration or reference evapotranspiration and is denoted as ETo
• Complications • Many field crops fit to the definition
• Which crop to select
• Evapotranspiration from a short green grass cover is 10 – 30% more than an agricultural crop
![Page 80: BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation · BSE 11042 Principles of Irrigation Professor M.M.M. Najim Vice Chancellor South Eastern University of Sri Lanka](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022041021/5ed1d25df531e16988284ed1/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Reference Crop Evapotranspiration
The evapotranspiration rate from a reference
surface (a hypothetical grass reference crop with
an assumed crop height of 0.12 m, a fixed
surface resistance of 70 s m-1 and an albedo of
0.23) not short of water, is called the reference
crop evapotranspiration or reference
evapotranspiration and is denoted as ETo.
• Albedo – how much solar radiation is reflected from a surface
