Irrigation efficiency is a term that is used a lot, but what does it actually mean?
Many case studies have shown that by optimising your irrigation, significant water savings of up to 10-20% can be achieved, which could then be used to increase production by planting more area, and therefore increasing profitability of the farming system.
In this video CottonInfo Technical Lead for Irrigation Ben Crawley explains the concepts behind irrigation efficiency. See also the second video in this series where he covers the drivers of irrigation efficiency and how to optimise them.
