assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Irrigation Pumping Plant Efficiency

Rising energy costs have increased the cost of pumping to the point that many farmers are finding irrigation to be unprofitable or only marginally profitable. Fortunately, however, pumping costs are an item that farmers have some degree of control. Pumping costs often are higher than they need be for two reasons: 1.) more water is pumped than is necessary, and/or, 2.) the pumping plant operates...

Accuracy of Irrigation Efficiency Estimates

Evaluation of actual irrigation system perfonnance should rely on an accurate hydrologic water balance over the area considered. In a companion paper, water uses are categorized as consumptive or noncon­ sumptive, and beneficial or nonbeneficial. Real perfonnance is based on water uses over a specified period of time, rather than observation of a single irrigation event (with associate potentia...

Evaluating the Efficiency of Clay Reservoirs for the use of Unconventional Waters in Subsurface Irrigation

Introduction: As Iran faces limited water resources, it should take the use of unconventional waters into account in its drought management. In many countries, including Iran, conventional water is relatively scarce. However, should water, soil, and plants be appropriately managed, there would be significant saline water sources for irrigation purposes. Together with reducing salinity and refin...

Irrigation efficiency and quality of irrigation return flows in the Ebro River Basin: an overview.

The review analysis of twenty two irrigation efficiency (IE) studies carried out in the Ebro River Basin shows that IE is low (average IE)(avg)(= 53%) in surface-irrigated areas with high-permeable and shallow soils inadequate for this irrigation system, high (IE)(avg)(= 79%) in surface-irrigated areas with appropriate soils for this system, and very high (IE)(avg)(= 94%) in modern, automated a...
