    Irrigation efficiencies measure the ratio of water output to input, expressed as a percentage. Lower efficiencies indicate higher losses during conveyance from source to fields or application methods. There are different types of efficiencies that account for losses, including water conveyance efficiency which is the ratio of water delivered to farm fields to water diverted from the source, taking into account losses during conveyance in channels.

    Irrigation Efficiencies

    Efficiency is the ratio of the water output to the water input, and is
    usually expressed as percentage. Input minus output is nothing but
    losses, and hence, if losses are more, output is less and, therefore,
    efficiency is less. Hence, efficiency is inversely proportional to
    the losses. Water is lost in irrigation during various processes and,
    therefore, there are different kinds of irrigation efficiencies, as
    given below :

    Water conveyance Efficiency (ηc)


    It is the ratio of the water delivered into the fields from the outlet
    point of the channel, to the water pumped into the channel at the
    starting point. It takes the conveyance or transit losses into
    account.
    Water delivered to the farm Wf
    ηc = =
    Water diverted from the river or reservoir Wr
