Abstract
ABSTRACT THE economic benefits of various energy saving practices for both gated-pipe surface irrigation systems and center-pivot sprinkler irrigation systems were evaluated for several initial operating conditions. The analysis included the energy savings resulting from a particular irrigation system improvement and the costs associated with that improvement. The order of economically beneficial changes for gated-pipe systems was: (a) pumping plant adjustment, (b) irrigation water management and (c) irrigation application efficiency improvements. For center-pivot systems the order was; (a) pressure reduction, (b) pumping plant adjustment, (c) irrigation water management and (d) irrigation application efficiency improvments
