Determination of appropriate inflow regime for border irrigation using SIRMOD software

Increasing irrigation efficiency always has been one of the main concerns of experts and farmers. In this study, using different types of inflow regimes include continuous flow, cutback, fixed surge, and variablesurge, increasing irrigation efficiency examined in border irrigation. Obtained results from performedsimulation using SIRMOD software showed that cutback and surge irrigation methods were able to increasing irrigation efficiency to the amount of 11.66% and 28.37%, respectively. Farmers according to the limitation of inflow regime choice can identify the best amount of input discharge to achieve maximum of irrigation efficiency
