Download or read book Monitoring Soil Moisture for Irrigation Water Management written by Blaine Hanson and published by University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources. This book was released on 2007 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring soil moisture is an alternate method to water-based balance methods of managing irrigation water. Using this method you can "see" what is going on in the soil and determine answers to some key irrigation management questions: Did enough water infiltrate the soil? Is too much water being applied? What is the water uptake pattern of the roots? When should irrigation take place? What was the depth reached by the irrigation? Includes 24 figures and 7 tables, metric conversions, and an appendix of typical root depths. One of a series of water management handbooks prepared by the UC Irrigation Program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poor soil and water management are often related to insufficient or poor rainfall distribution around the world. In modern agriculture, over-cultivation, deforestation, overgrazing, and high dependence on an irrigated cropping system with water-intensive crops increase soil and water erosion. This book examines ways of improving soil moisture management to support environmental, food, social, and economic security under a sustainable ecosystem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear and related techniques can help develop climate smart agricultural practices by optimizing water use efficiency. The measurement of soil water content is essential to improve the use of this resource in agriculture. However, most sensors monitor small areas (less than 1m in radius), hence a large number of sensors are needed to obtain soil water content across a large area. This can be both costly and labour intensive and so larger scale measuring devices are needed as an alternative to traditional point-based soil moisture sensing techniques. The cosmic ray neutron sensor (CRNS) is such a device that monitors soil water content in a non-invasive and continuous way. This publication provides background information about this novel technique, and explains in detail the calibration and validation process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains a collection of papers from a workshopâ€"Strengthening Science-Based Decision-Making for Sustainable Management of Scarce Water Resources for Agricultural Production, held in Tunisia. Participants, including scientists, decision makers, representatives of non-profit organizations, and a farmer, came from the United States and several countries in North Africa and the Middle East. The papers examined constraints to agricultural production as it relates to water scarcity; focusing on 1) the state of the science regarding water management for agricultural purposes in the Middle East and North Africa 2) how science can be applied to better manage existing water supplies to optimize the domestic production of food and fiber. The cross-cutting themes of the workshop were the elements or principles of science-based decision making, the role of the scientific community in ensuring that science is an integral part of the decision making process, and ways to improve communications between scientists and decision makers.
