6. An irrigation system applies a gross
amount of 48 inches of water during the
growing season. An
evaluation determines that: 31 inches goes to
satis- fy crop ET; 9 inches runs off and is not
collected for reuse; 4.1 inches passes
through the root zone as deep percolation
(total deep percolation), of which 1 inch is
beneficial leaching for salt removal; and 1
inch is ET from weeds. What would the
efficiency be if the gross application was 83.3%
reduced because the runoff was eliminated?
