Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrigation, as the biggest water user in most regions of the world is facing significant challenges in balancing social, economic and environmental needs for water. These proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Sustainable Irrigation and Drainage: Management, Technologies and Policies provide examples of how irrigation and drainage can become more sustainable, while acknowledging that the concept of sustainability is a goal that continues to change as our knowledge of the biophysical realities alters. In that sense moving towards sustainability is an ever evolving journey. A focus is made on the implications for improving sustainability, whether this is drainage, irrigation technologies, economic modelling, governance studies for irrigation management, reuse of water or any other aspect. Topics covered include: Irrigation management; Irrigation modelling; Irrigation systems and planning; Economic incentives; Groundwater issues; Water contamination and remediation; Drainage systems; Drainage modelling; International issues; Water reuse; Climate change effects; Water trade; Economics of irrigation; Socio-economic benefits.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Programme for Technology and Research in Irrigation and Drainage (IPTRID) was established in 1991 to promote technology and research in and by developing countries. The purpose of this review is to highlight areas where research and development can improve performance and identify gaps in knowledge. In the face of water shortage the problem of one set of water users cannot be considered in isolation from other users and hence there are a number of cross-discipline issues that must also be addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this paper is to identify and review the scope and extent of agricultural research components in general and research on irrigation and drainage technologies in particular in Bank-supported irrigation projects. It is based on an extensive review of the Appraisal Reports of the 256 Irrigation and Drainage Projects that were approved during the period FY74-90. The report contains detailed country-by-country as well as regional statistics on the levels, trends and patterns of investments in research on irrigation and drainage technologies. It does not include any assessment of the effectiveness of these research components.

Book excerpt: Irrigated agriculture will play a major role in reaching the broader developmental objectives of achieving food security, poverty alleviation and improvements in the quality of life in the developing world, especially in the context of global population growth from 5 bilion todayto at least 8 bilion by 2025. The constraints posed by land and water scarcity and the associated need to increase the carrying capacity of the land in a sustainable manner will require significant improvementsin efficiency and flexibility of irrigation and drainage systems in developing countries in the next few decades. Technological innovation and adaptation are important ingredients in bringing about these improvements. This proposal is a first step toward the launching of an internationally-supported initiative to enhance R&D in irrigation and drainage technology in developing countries. It assesses the importance of irrigation and drainage in agriculture, review the status of current R&D and identifies priorities for research (modernizing irrigationand drainage systems; ensuring sustainability and improving maintenance) and action (human resource development and networking). It gives preliminary consideration to the functions of an organization designed to implement the R&D initiative. It also emphasizes the need for collaboration with the work of other national and international agencies involved irrigation research so that the proposed initiative in R&D in technology is complementary to ongoing efforts, cost effective and ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph provides an overview of the principles required for a service orientation in the management of irrigation and drainage systems. The material covered is designed to emphasize an area largely neglected in the irrigation and drainage management literature. The dominating philosophy underlying this book is that irrigation and drainage systems must be managed as a service business responsive to the needs and changing requirements of its customers. It is postulated that this service approach to the management of irrigation and drainage systems consitutes a key element of the startegy that is needed to improve the current level of performance of many irrigation and drainage systems worldwide. Enhanced performance of irrigation is a prerequisite if we are to face the enormous challenge of producing greater quantities of food to meet the demand of a growing population. This is particularly the case in an environment with increasing competition for water from industry and urban water users, set against mounting concerns about environmental sustainability.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan van Schilfgaarde, USDA Agricultural Research Service and National Research Council Committee on Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems In 1982, a startling discovery was made. Many waterbirds in Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge were dying or suffering reproductive failure. Located in the San Joaquin Valley (Valley) of California, the Kesterson Reservoir (Kesterson) was used to store agricultural drainage water and it was soon determined that the probable cause of the damage to wildlife was high concen trations of selenium, derived from the water and water organisms in the reservoir. This discovery drastically changed numerous aspects of water management in California, and especially affected irrigated agriculture. In fact, the repercussions spilled over to much of the Western United States. For a century, water development for irrigation has been a religiously pursued means for economic development of the West. The primary objective of the Reclamation Act of 1902 was, purportedly, the development ofirrigation water to support family farms which, in turn, would enhance the regional economy (Worster, 1985).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial drainage is essential to sustain irrigated agriculture, in order to control the water table and avoid waterlogging and salinisation. Biodrainage systems rely on vegetation rather than mechanical means to remove excess water, and can provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly drainage option. This publication presents a range of formally published and unpublished literature on the current level of knowledge of biodrainage, in order to inform further research and promote pilot testing schemes.
