    Achieving management objectives requires that water be applied at the proper time, rate and quantity, and in the desired location. However, irrigation systems are not perfect which results in some areas receiving more water than others while some water is simply lost to evaporation. How should an irrigator respond to inefficiency and nonuniformity? How does a management change affect operation and performance? To address these questions, relationships have been developed to quantify performance.
