Showcasing projects and designers from around the world who are forging new paths to the sustainable city through urban agriculture landscapes, it creates a dialogue on the ways to invite food back into the city and pave a path to healthier communities and environments.

It also presents strategies, tools, and guidelines that enable informed decisions on planning, designing, budgeting, constructing, maintaining, marketing, and increasing the sustainability of this re-invented cityscape. Case studies demonstrate the environmental, economic, and social value of these landscapes and reveal paths to a greener and healthier urban environment.

This book was released on 2016-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years farmers and ranchers have been building ponds for livestock water and for irrigation. By 1980 more than 2.1 million ponds had been built in the United States by land users on privately owned land. More will be needed in the future. The demand for water has increased tremendously in recent years, and ponds are one of the most reliable and economical sources of water. Ponds are now serving a variety of purposes, including water for livestock and for irrigation, fish production, field and orchard spraying, fire protection, energy conservation, wildlife habitat, recreation, erosion control, and landscape improvement. This handbook describes embankment and excavated ponds and outlines the requirements for building each. The information comes from the field experience and observation of land users, engineers, conservationists, and other specialists.

Download or read book The Problem of Securing Closer Relationship Between Agricultural Development and Irrigation Construction Classic Reprint written by David Weeks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Securing Closer Relationship Between Agricultural Development and Irrigation Construction Irrigation Development in California - The state of California comprises acres. Of this, 29 per cent is agricultural land included in farms, 12 per cent is cultivated, 5 per cent is irrigated, and 8 per cent is under irrigation projects completed or partly constructed. Of the total area of the state 15 per cent may ultimately be irrigated. From 1909 to 1920 there was an increase of 58 per cent of the irrigated area of the state, but irrigation construction was provided for a larger area. Lag of Profitable Farming Behind Irrigation Construction - The total area projects were equipped to irrigate in 1924 amounted to acres. Of this, acres, or about 18 per cent, were irrigable but not irrigated, and acres, or about 82 per cent, were irrigated but not all of this was fully improved. Only acres, or 71 per cent, were making good use of the water. In the projects in the state acres of non-agricultural land, which is nominally assessed, were included. This land contributes little revenue to the projects, but is included because the larger total acreage results in a smaller average cost per acre for construction, which helps in promotion and financing. In addition, there are approximately acres of irrigable land in projects for which construction has not yet been provided.
