The Handbook of Irrigation System Selection for Semi-Arid Regions
compares the various types of available irrigation systems for
different regions and conditions, and explains how to analyze field
data to determine the suitability of the land for surface,
sprinkle, or drip irrigation systems. The book focuses on
strategies for irrigation development and management and examines
deficit irrigation and partial root-zone drying systems. Also,
solute leaching modeling under different irrigation systems, soil
moisture conditions, and organic fertilizer application in arid
areas are discussed. Further, it examines multi-criteria decision
making for irrigation management and the appraisal of agricultural
lands for irrigation in hot, sub-humid regions. Features: Presents
comparative analysis to aid in the selection of the most
appropriate types of irrigation systems according to land
characteristics. Includes numerous practical case studies. Offers
parametric evaluation systems for irrigation purposes. Considers
data from semi-arid zones, each with different sub-climates.
Focusing on semi-arid land, the book highlights parametric
evaluation systems for irrigation purposes, along with the use of
analytical hierarchy processes integrated with GIS to determine
which systems are best suited. This comprehensive and
well-illustrated handbook will be of great interest to students,
professionals, and researchers involved with all aspects of
irrigation in semi-arid regions.
This book is designed as an undergraduate text for water and
environmental engineering courses and as preliminary reading for
postgraduate courses in water and environmental engineering-
including introductory coverage of irrigation and drainage, water
resources, hydrology, hydraulic structures, and more. The text and
exercises have been classroom tested by undergraduate water and
environmental engineering students and are augmented by material
prepared for extramural short courses. It covers basic concepts of
agricultural irrigation and drainage, including planning and
design, surface intakes, economics, environmental impacts wetlands,
and legal issues. Features: Numerous illustrations throughout to
clarify the concepts presented Examines and compares the advantages
and disadvantages of several methods of irrigation practice
Explains the integral components including pumps, filters, piping,
valves, and more Considers fertilizer application and nutrient
management This comprehensive and well-illustrated book will be of
great interest to students, professionals, and researchers involved
with all aspects of water engineering, hydrology, and irrigation.
