Download or read book Irrigation and Drainage written by Muhammad Salik Javaid and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sustainability of irrigation and drainage in the face of many variants and constraints like availability of water as a resource, ecological balance, socio-cultural impacts, and climate change effects lies in the strategies adopted and systems emplaced. It has always remained a challenge for the users of irrigation waters to maintain sustainability in quality and quantity. This book aims ?to explore frontiers of knowledge in coining sustainable strategies and systems direly needed in managing the quality and quantity of water required for crop irrigation, surface and root zone drainage and flood management using available tools of research and development?. Eminent authors and their colleagues possessing varied professional backgrounds and expertise have dealt with these issues concerning the strategies and systems of irrigation and drainage. This book will prove to be beneficial for crop growers, agricultural engineers, water resource managers, academicians and graduate students alike.

This book was released on 1982-11-30 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an established fact that we must continually increase and improve agricultural production if we are to meet even the minimum requirements of a growing popu lation for food, shelter, and fuel. In recent years, the introduction of new plant varieties and the extensive use of fertilizers have effectively increased crop yields, but intensifying agricultural methods has often led to depleting soil fertility. Two examples of the harmful consequences of intensive farming practices are the loss of up to 2.5 cm of topsoil every 15 years in the United States through erosion and the alarming rise in environmental pollution through widespread use of pesticides. Countless other processes affecting the activity of soil micro flora and the inter actions between microorganisms and plants may pose an equal danger to soil equilibrium, but their potential hazards are often overlooked because of an insufficient understanding of soil microbiology on the part of scientists. In the first published study of its kind, the authors of this book have attempted to address major aspects of the microbial activity of soil in the tropics. Tropical conditions serve as an ideal context for a discussion of soil microbiology, since biological processes in the soil are particularly active in tropical environments in comparison to other settings and in relation to physical and chemical processes.
Download or read book Evapotranspiracion Del Cultivo written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2006-08-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta publicacion se presenta una actualizacion del procedimiento para calcular la evapotranspiracion de referencia y la evapotranspiracion del cultivo a partir de datos meteorologicos y coeficientes de cultivo. El procedimiento, que fue presentado por primera vez en la publicacion No 24 de la Serie de Riego y Drenaje de la FAO "Las Necesidades de Agua de los Cultivos" en 1977, permite estimar la cantidad de agua que un cultivo utiliza teniendo en cuenta el efecto del clima y las caracteristicas del cultivo. La presente publicacion incorpora avances en investigacion y un procedimiento mas preciso para determinar el uso de agua de los cultivos de acuerdo a las recomendaciones de un panel de expertos de alto nivel organizado por la FAO en Mayo de 1990. La primera parte de estas guias incluye procedimientos para determinar la evapotranspiracion del cultivo de referencia de acuerdo con el metodo Penman-Monteith. A continuacion se presentan procedimientos actualizados para estimar la evapotranspiracion de diversos cultivos en diferentes etapas de desarrollo y condiciones ecologicas."
