Irrigation Water Delivery for Equity Between Users

The problems of getting irrigation water to lands to be irrigated in the right amount, at the right place and at the right time are discussed. A brief review of the methods of irrigation water delivery is presented along with a more detailed discussion of rotation delivery. A step by step detailed procedure is shown for setting up a rotation delivery schedule. The resulting schedule provides for equity between users with respect to volume of water per unit area and time of irrigation turn (daytime or night).
