Agriculture | | English term or phrase: Tile water | The text is about irrigation methods. When describing one of these methods (Furrow irrigation), one of the listed disadvantages reads like this:
Increase level of tile water losses
My best guess is that it is referring to tile pipes, but I'm not entirely sure. Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!! |
| | | Spanish translation:pérdidas por percolación profunda | Explanation:
"tile water losses" se refiere a pérdidas por percolación profunda. El suelo con su porosidad, permite pérdidas en profundidad que se asemejan a las pérdidas que tendría un canal armado con un caño de cerámica cribado.
"tail water losses" se refiere a pérdidas por escurrimiento superficial, en la cola de los surcos.
Es un poco confuso cómo lo usa en este caso. |
