DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF FURROW IRRIGATION PROTOTYPE MODEL
Abstract
The prototype model was successfully designed and constructed with dimensions of 1.5 m × 1 m to simulate furrow irrigation on a small scale. The system achieved an application efficiency of 74% and a distribution efficiency of 70%. The model demonstrated a furrow capacity of 27 liters and a flow rate of (7.5 × 10^{-6} m^3/s), confirming its suitability for educational demonstrations and practical studies in water conservation and irrigation management.
