Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrigated agriculture has played a critical role in the economic and social development of the United Statesâ€"but it is also at the root of increasing controversy. How can irrigation best make the transition into an era of increasing water scarcity? In A New Era for Irrigation, experts draw important conclusions about whether irrigation can continue to be the nation's most significant water user, what role the federal government should play, and what the irrigation industry must do to adapt to the conditions of the future. A New Era for Irrigation provides data, examples, and insightful commentary on issues such as: Growing competition for water resources. Developments in technology and science. The role of federal subsidies for crops and water. Uncertainties related to American Indian water rights issues. Concern about environmental problems. And more. The committee identifies broad forces of change and reports on how public and private institutions, scientists and technology experts, and individual irrigators have responded. The report includes detailed case studies from the Great Plains, the Pacific Northwest, California, and Florida, in both the agricultural and turfgrass sectors. The cultural transformation brought about by irrigation may be as profound as the transformation of the landscape. The committee examines major facets of this cultural perspective and explores its place in the future. A New Era for Irrigation explains how irrigation emerged in the nineteenth century, how it met the nation's goals in the twentieth century, and what role it might play in the twenty-first century. It will be important to growers, policymakers, regulators, environmentalists, water and soil scientists, water rights claimants, and interested individuals.

Download or read book Indian Irrigation Projects written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) manages 16 irrigation projects on Indian reservations in the western United States. These projects, which were generally constructed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, include water storage facilities and delivery structures for agricultural purposes. Serious concerns have arisen about their maintenance and management. GAO was asked to examine (1) BIA's estimated deferred maintenance cost for its 16 irrigation projects, (2) what shortcomings, if any, exist in BIA's current management of its irrigation projects, and (3) any issues that need to be addressed to determine the long-term direction of BIA's irrigation program.

Download or read book Irrigation Systems Engineering written by Balram Pannigrahi and published by New India Publishing Agency. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a text book for agriculture and agricultural engineers and will be very much helpful for the beginning students in irrigation. It is designed to guide students from a basic knowledge of soil, mathematics, hydrologic and hydraulics to the state-of-the-art irrigation system design and management. Since major and medium irrigation projects are too costly and at the same time are not eco-friendly, the major thrust of research is now being imparted on low cost and easy to construct farm irrigation structures. The primary aim of the book is to design an optimum size small scale water harvesting structure which is the farm pond mostly used by the farmers in the farms. My goal is to present the principles and concepts of farm irrigation in a simple manner to maximize the students learning, understanding and motivation. The method and order of presentation have been carefully developed and classroom tested to make this book a useful and effective teaching tool. The book will not only be a helping tool to the students and teachers in agriculture and agricultural engineering but also to all the practicing engineers, agriculturists, soil conservationists and agricultural extension workers who deal directly or indirectly with water management and other associated farm development works. However, the book cannot be used for design of complex hydraulic structures including dams and reservoi The book contains 23 solved problems, 238 short and long type questions, 42 tables, 55 figures and more than 138 references which will be immensely helpful to the students and design engineeSeveral field experimental results have also been incorporated in the book at appropriate sections to make the book interesting for the readers.

Download or read book On the Waterfront written by Peter P. Mollinga and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the struggle over water in a large-scale irrigation system in Raichur District, Karnataka, South India. It looks at water control as a simultaneously technical, managerial and socio-political process. The triangle of accommodation of different categories of farmers, irrigation department officials and local politicians, involving water, votes, money, employment, credit and harassment, is documented. The book shows that the physical infrastructure, notably the division structures, are signposts of struggle, expressing the balance of power between farmers and the irrigation department, and that between head- and tail-end farmers. It concludes with a discussion of irrigation reform efforts in India: reasons for the very slow transformation of the sector, and how a more integrated perspective on irrigation could provide directions for the way forward.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Irrigation: Being a Short Description of the System of Artificial Irrigation and Canal Navigation in India In the following pages we have endeavoured to explain the nature of artificial irrigation in India, its great value to the natives of that country, to its own Government, and to the British Crown; and the profitable nature of its works, as an investment for money, drawn from the facts that such works of this description, as have been undertaken by the Indian Government on a large scale, have, during the last 14 years in the Madras Presidency, yielded a return of 70 percent., and are now producing upwards of 100 percent, on the money expended in their construction; whilst in the North-west Provinces of Bengal, they have yielded, and are yielding, 26 percent, on the capital. With such facts before them, a committee of gentlemen, all of whom are, or have lately been, connected with India, have proposed to establish a company for the purpose of extending artificial irrigation in India, proposing to begin their operations in the Province of Scinde - a country offering many advantages for the commencement of such an undertaking - as possessing a rich soil, dependant, owing to the scarcity of local rain, almost entirely upon artificial irrigation for its cultivation, but containing an abundant supply of water for feeding a canal from the river Indus, which intersects its entire length; from the favourable nature of the country through which the canal would pass for such an operation, and from the extreme facilities for conveying such produce as is suited for exportation to England, by the direct communication by large vessels now established with the port of Kurrachee.
