Abstract:
... The area under irrigation in Mexico is just over 6.64 million hectares, most of which is irrigated with surface gravity systems (borders or furrows). However, one of the main problems presented by these methods is the loss associated with deep infiltration, tailwaters, and flooding in some parts of the land as a result of a poor flow design at the entrance of the furrow or border. In this study, t ...
