The term used to express which percentage of irrigation water isnuesd efficiently and which percentage is used.
Irrigation Efficiency
It is the part of the water pumped or diverted through the scheme inlet which is used effectively by the plants.
Scheme irrigation efficiency
This represents the efficiency of water in trsnsport canals
Conveyance efficiency
This represents the efficiency of water application in the field.
Field application efficiency
Amthe typical range of application efficiencies
50% - 99%
These losses occur between the time the water leaves the sprinkler nozzle and when the remaining water reaches the soil.
Wind Drift Evaporation
The amount of evaporation from a wetted crop canopy.
Wetted Canopy Evaporation
It is a source of water loss in most irrigation systems, but it is especially prevalent in surface irrigation systems.

Deep Percolation Water
It is the visible, and most irrigstors can easily see and manage it.
