  abstract = {{T}his article aims at proposing a robust and simple methodology to evaluate the performance of pumping equipment used in irrigation. {A}fter a theoretical review of the efficiency of centrifugal pumps, the authors will propose definitions of easily accessible indicators as well as reference values validated by "manufacturers" data. {T}hen the authors will make an inventory and a critique of methods used to estimate pumped volumes. {T}he authors will apply this model of diagnosis to a group of 18 drill-hole pumping stations supplying minor irrigated areas in the plain of {K}airouan in central {T}unisia. {T}he authors will show that it is possible, thanks to the analysis of the results, to define a methodology used to estimate pumped volumes, and they will quantify the impact of noted malfunctions on the price of water. {C}opyright (c) 2005 {J}ohn {W}iley and {S}ons, {L}td.},
