For each element of Lfs, determine Ea(qopt ′).
3. Perform a sensitivity analysis and select the scenario
that provides the highest application efficiency and
satisfies other locally pertinent practical requirements.
4. Determine border ridge height as a function of the flow
depth at the inlet and with an allowance for freeboard.
The flow depth at the inlet can be calculated using the
Manning equation.
5. Determine border width taking into account available
machinery width, field width, available field supply
channel discharge, top soil depth, cross-slope, and
preferred aspect ratio
