Ever-increasing population growth has caused a proportional
increased demand for water, and existing water sources are
depleting day by day. Moreover, with the impact of climate change,
the rates of rainfall in many regions have experienced a higher
degree of variability. In many cities, government utilities have
been struggling to maintain sufficient water for the residents and
other users. The Handbook of Irrigation Hydrology and Management
examines and analyzes irrigated ecosystems in which water storage,
applications, or drainage volumes are artificially controlled in
the landscape and the spatial domain of processes varies from
micrometers to tens of kilometers, while the temporal domain spans
from seconds to centuries. The continuum science of irrigation
hydrology includes the surface, subsurface (unsaturated and
groundwater systems), atmospheric, and plant subsystems. Further,
the book addresses the best practices for various types of
irrigation methods including pressure, smart, surface and
subsurface, and presents solutions for water scarcity and soil
salinity in irrigation. Features: Offers water-saving strategies to
increase the judicious use of scarce water resources Presents
strategies to maximize agricultural yield per unit of water used
for different regions Compares irrigation methods to offset
changing weather patterns and impacts of climate change
