This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Water Harvesting Symposium, Phoenix, Arizona, March 26-28, 1974 Early in 1960, research programs in water harvesting were also initiated in Israel by Hillel and at the University of Arizona by Cluff. Hillel's work now relates primarily to soil smoothing and runoff farming Cluff has done a considerable amount of work on the use of soil sealing with sodium salts and on gravel-covered plastic membranes The most recent innovation in the construction of catchments appears to be the use of granulated wax spread over the ground surface so that the sun will melt the wax and cause it to flow into the soil. The resulting wax coating causes the soil, for some as yet unknown period of time, to become both water repellent and stabilized. After having presented these brief and incomplete excerpts from water harvesting history, as I know it, I would like to quote from a paper published in 1964, in which I attempted to outline the objectives we should strive for in research on water harvesting catchments (10) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Drought Management on Farmland written by Joan Sydney Whitmore and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At last, integrated management of drought on farms is dealt with in one comprehensive book. Although drought is a highly variable, near-universal natural phenomenon which has repercussions on a country's water and food supplies and many other sectors of the economy, there are many ways of avoiding, resisting and mitigating the effects of drought. Pro-active preparedness entails using the principles of risk management to upgrade the drought resistance of a farm systematically, and to have auxiliary contingency plans at the ready for use during unusually long droughts. The book provides tools for these strategies as it covers the management of water, soils, crops, rangeland, fodder and livestock, and many other drought-related topics. Audience: This book will be an important source of information for university and college staff and students in agricultural sciences, water and land use, environmental management, geography and risk management, and also farmers, agricultural advisors and policy makers.
