Download or read book Irrigation Handbook written by Natalie Ramsey and published by Murphy & Moore Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The artificial techniques which are employed to apply controlled amounts of water with the objective of assisting agricultural activities fall under irrigation. The discipline finds a wide variety of applications such as maintenance of landscapes, revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas, frost protection, suppression of weed growth, and prevention of soil consolidation. According to the method of water supply and the amount of water supplied, irrigation techniques can be classified into surface irrigation, micro irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and sub irrigation. Sprinkler irrigation can be further divided into methods using central pivot, lateral move, lawn sprinklers and hose-end sprinklers. Some of the different water sources which are used for irrigation systems are springs, wells, rivers, lakes, drainage water and treated wastewater. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to irrigation. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of irrigation. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.

Download or read book The Joy of Search written by Daniel M. Russell and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to be a great online searcher, demonstrated with step-by-step searches for answers to a series of intriguing questions (for example, “Is that plant poisonous?”). We all know how to look up something online by typing words into a search engine. We do this so often that we have made the most famous search engine a verb: we Google it—“Japan population” or “Nobel Peace Prize” or “poison ivy” or whatever we want to know. But knowing how to Google something doesn't make us search experts; there's much more we can do to access the massive collective knowledge available online. In The Joy of Search, Daniel Russell shows us how to be great online researchers. We don't have to be computer geeks or a scholar searching out obscure facts; we just need to know some basic methods. Russell demonstrates these methods with step-by-step searches for answers to a series of intriguing questions—from “what is the wrong side of a towel?” to “what is the most likely way you will die?” Along the way, readers will discover essential tools for effective online searches—and learn some fascinating facts and interesting stories. Russell explains how to frame search queries so they will yield information and describes the best ways to use such resources as Google Earth, Google Scholar, Wikipedia, and Wikimedia. He shows when to put search terms in double quotes, how to use the operator (*), why metadata is important, and how to triangulate information from multiple sources. By the end of this engaging journey of discovering, readers will have the definitive answer to why the best online searches involve more than typing a few words into Google.
Download or read book Rainmakers written by Groundwater Foundation and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regular pumping sound and motion of a center pivot irrigation system is the heartbeat of many successful farming operations—yet this technology remains a mystery to millions. Flying over agricultural regions, many airline passengers look down with curiosity on the circles of green with no understanding that what they are seeing is their food supply in production. Rainmakers: A Photographic Story of Center Pivots takes us on a journey that explains how center pivot irrigation contributes to the food on which we depend. This important story is presented through instructive and beautiful photographs that make the book a visual delight for even the casual reader. The goal of Rainmakers is to convey the history and complexity of center pivots and how such technology has become an integral part of nourishing out world. Rainmakers includes a foreword by Nebraska Congressman Tom Osborne, an essay by David Howe, an epilogue by Susan Seacrest, and captivating images taken by both professional and amateur photographers.
Download or read book Irrigation and Drainage Engineering written by Peter Waller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-18 with total page 747 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook focuses specifically on the combined topics of irrigation and drainage engineering. It emphasizes both basic concepts and practical applications of the latest technologies available. The design of irrigation, pumping, and drainage systems using Excel and Visual Basic for Applications programs are explained for both graduate and undergraduate students and practicing engineers. The book emphasizes environmental protection, economics, and engineering design processes. It includes detailed chapters on irrigation economics, soils, reference evapotranspiration, crop evapotranspiration, pipe flow, pumps, open-channel flow, groundwater, center pivots, turf and landscape, drip, orchards, wheel lines, hand lines, surfaces, greenhouse hydroponics, soil water movement, drainage systems design, drainage and wetlands contaminant fate and transport. It contains summaries, homework problems, and color photos. The book draws from the fields of fluid mechanics, soil physics, hydrology, soil chemistry, economics, and plant sciences to present a broad interdisciplinary view of the fundamental concepts in irrigation and drainage systems design.

Book excerpt: This guide tells how to plan, design, and efficiently manage sprinkler irrigation systems. Also discussed is "chemigation," the process of applying an agricultural chemical (fertilizer or pesticide) to the soil or plant surface with an irrigation system. Dozens of photographs, drawings, tables, and equations complement the text. Topics cover: System planning and design. Water sources. Sprinkler characteristics. Systems, selection, and management. Pumps, piping, and power units. Chemigation. Sprinkler application of effluent.
Download or read book Irrigation Centre pivot and lateral move written by Jennifer Laffan and published by NSW Agriculture. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centre pivots and lateral moves (CPLM) are pressurised irrigation systems that supply water to crops or pastures. They are suitable for a wide range of broadacre farming enterprises, different soil types and undulating terrain. This book is about: · the components of centre pivot and linear move irrigation systems · unique features of CPLM pressurised irrigation systems · fundamentals of a pressurised irrigation system and their impact on efficiency · measuring performance of CPLM systems · pressure and discharge tests on a pressurised irrigation system · pressure and discharge variations · how the performance characteristics impact on total water use and crop uniformity · evaluating the function of an irrigation system. This book focuses on the water delivery aspects and the key measures of efficiency: Field Application Efficiency, Distribution Uniformity, Average Application Rate and Average Application Depth per Pass.
