 ABSTRACT

The field experiments were conducted to evaluate the hydraulic performance of drip irrigation systems to be installed on Tulsi Tank at Surgi Village, Rajnandgaon 2017-18. The performance of drip system was evaluated on the basis of parameters like average emitter discharge (Qavg), Emission uniformity (EUf), uniformity coefficient (Us), Coefficient of manufacture’s variation (Cv) and Emitter flow variation (Qavg), at two different pressure 0.8 and 1.0 kg cm-2. Average emitter discharge, Emission uniformity (EUf), uniformity coefficient (Us), Coefficient of manufacture’s variation (Cv) and Emitter flow variation (Qavg) were found (1.06 l h-1, 87.53%, 86.75%, 0.13 and 37.70% respectively) at 0.8 kg cm-2 operating pressure and (1.15 l h-1, 90.54%, 88.48%, 0.11 and 20.0% respectively) found at 1.0 kg cm-2.  Result shows that the discharge flow rate of emitter is increased when the increase of the pressure and the coefficient of variation is increased when the pressure is decreased means the pressure directly affected the discharge rate of emitter. Hydraulic performance of drip irrigation system found good and needs to be operated at 1.0 kg cm-2 pressure for 1.3 l h-1 inline emitter.

Key words: Drip Irrigation, Emitter discharge, Emission uniformity, Uniformity coefficient, Coefficient of manufacture’s variation, Emitter flow variation.
