Surge irrigation is the cyclic application of water during an irrigation event and its performance is dependent on waterfront advances of surges applied onto the field. The extensive data collection of waterfront advances for surges is a laborious and time-consuming job. Further present state of knowledge indicates its evaluation on the basis of water saving and efficiencies indicators. Morover the graphical presentation of the water advances for surges does not provide any useful information contrast to continuous. To fill this gap, Azeemi- Surge Irrigation Advance Rate Performance Model 'ASARPM' was developed empirically and presented in this book. Criteria used for its development is based on the modification of the power equation and in utilizing minimum data collection during surge irrigation. This simplified technique would help researchers and scientists in the efficient application of water in irrigated environment.The author appreciate the efforts of Barthlemy Chaton and his team in facilitating for book finalization and highly acknowledge publishing of it by VDM Publishing House Ltd. for scientific knowledge sharing globally.
