With a roster of international contributors, this volume offers an
abundance of solutions to address agricultural water management
challenges in today's water-scarce areas of the world. The authors
present studies on farmer-friendly irrigation scheduling methods,
model-based analysis of crop water requirements, ways to optimize
surface irrigation systems, and hydraulic design and management of
surface water systems. The book goes on to highlight ways to
improve soil properties by taking into account spatial, temporal,
and spectral variability in soil properties. The volume also covers
various innovative research studies on soil and water productivity
of vegetable cultivation under water-stressed areas, application of
coir geotextiles, and the role of biofertilizers in controlling
soil degradation and maintaining fertile topsoil. Crop management
strategies to enhance the efficient use of marginal and saline
lands for nonconventional crops are also discussed. The book is
divided into four sections, covering: engineering interventions in
irrigation management technological interventions in management of
soil properties technological inventions for soil and water
conservation crop management for non-conventional use This volume
will serve as an invaluable resource for academicians, researchers,
engineers, agronomists, extension officers, students, and farmers
in the broad discipline of agricultural and biological engineering.
