Summary
This paper, the concluding one of a series of three, evaluates 9 border irrigation models (3 for advance, 3 for vertical recession and 3 for horizontal recession) which have closed-form solutions. Experimental data from 10 vegetated and nonvegetated borders are used to compare these models with the proposed (Singh-Yu or SY) model derived in Parts I and II. The proposed model is found to be superior in terms of accuracy, ease of application, and physical basis of parameters.
