# Drip vs Flood Irrigation Efficiency ## Definitions **Irrigation Efficiency** = (Water used by plants / Total water applied) × 100% - **Drip Irrigation**: Water delivered directly to plant root zones through emitters. Typical efficiency: **85-95%** - **Flood Irrigation**: Water applied over entire field surface, infiltrating downward. Typical efficiency: **40-60%** ## Worked Example **Scenario**: A farmer needs to deliver 1000 m³ of water to crops. ### Drip Irrigation (90% efficiency): - Water needed to apply = 1000 m³ ÷ 0.90 = **1,111 m³** - Water lost = 111 m³ ### Flood Irrigation (50% efficiency): - Water needed to apply = 1000 m³ ÷ 0.50 = **2,000 m³** - Water lost = 1,000 m³ **Result**: Drip irrigation requires **889 m³ less water** (44% savings) to achieve the same crop water delivery. --- **Key losses in flood irrigation**: surface runoff, deep percolation below roots, evaporation from wet soil surface. **Key advantage of drip**: precise water placement minimizes these losses.
