Irrigation systems benchmarking

Irrigation system benchmarking is useful in allowing agricultural water suppliers to view how they are performing with respect to key performance indicators. Gentek Consult’s approach to system benchmarking is to base the analysis on a careful assessment of the district's facilities and operations. This extensive review conditions the benchmarking on a firm understanding of the context in which the district operates. Because each district's setting and operating practices are unique, this conditioning of the benchmarking reduces the risks of basing comparisons or contrasts on indicators that are, in fact, not equivalent. A water balance analysis often serves as the foundation for system benchmarking.
