Download or read book Irrigation and Drainage written by Muhammad Sultan and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-01-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uneven distribution and depletion of good-quality water reserves significantly devastate the agriculture sector. In this scenario, water management as well as efficient irrigation and drainage strategies are primarily required to conserve water resources and enhance farm efficiency. Irrigation and Drainage – Recent Advances provides insights into irrigation methods, scheduling possibilities, and optimal irrigation frequencies. It also discusses management strategies including methods of groundwater recharging and rainwater harvesting, restoration, and modification of drainage networks for manifesting the cropping index. The book presents key aspects and examines the role of Agrovoltaic energy, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the development of smart irrigation systems for sustainable farming.
Download or read book Effectiveness of Smart Controllers for Water Conservation in Residential Irrigation written by Stacia L. Davis and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ET controller should be implemented only in situations of excessive irrigation habits. In efforts to better approximate water conservation potential, an hourly soil water balance (SWB) was developed as an alternative to the industry standard, the daily SWAT test, for evaluating irrigation adequacy, a measure of under-irrigation, and scheduling efficiency, a measure of over-irrigation. The hourly SWB better matched the deterministic soil water model compared to the daily SWAT test thus improving estimates of volumetric water content in a shallow root zone. Additionally, the hourly SWB was preferential to the daily SWAT test based on the combination of more accurate landscape programming required to obtain high performance scores and the realistic representation of soil water movement by hourly SWB resulting in a more accurate translation of SWAT scores to controller performance in the landscape. As a result, the hourly SWB should be used as an alternative method for testing ET controllers that will more accurately reflect true soil-water relationships thus allowing for the estimation of water conservation potential.

Download or read book Irrigation Conservation Technology Effectiveness and Behavior of the Domestic Irrigator written by Melissa Baum Haley and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (3) Identify areas of need for increased public awareness and misunderstanding of irrigation water use principles. (4) Assess an irrigation water conservation campaign where compliance is compared at the household level. Upon observation of homes with different technology levels, the soil moisture sensor treatment yielded the greatest savings; with 65% less water applied or irrigation than the meter only treatment. In addition to volume of water use, irrigation frequency was determined; again the soil moisture sensor treatment resulted in the lowest number of irrigation events, which were half to a third less than the other study homes. Surveying the irrigation water use practices and level of community knowledge of water source, conservation, technologies, and policy provided the following conclusions: misunderstanding of plant water needs, influence of watering restrictions water source, and property value and size. Efficient irrigation practices cannot only rely on the intelligence of a "smart" controller. The impact of human behavior is a major factor: a controller irrigates, a person waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: URBAN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE NATO ADVANCED RESEARCH WORKSHOP SUMMARY 22-27 JUNE 1989 KYLE E SCHILLING P E Workshop Director The Workshop was based on the recognition that all NATO countries are concerned with similar water infrastructure issues. Present problems are aggravated by aging and neglected facilities, by inadequate financing and by water management institutions reflecting the needs of an earlier era. Service needs to be provided for expanding populations, at the same time that corrective measures must be taken for decaying older urban centers, resulting both from neglect and expiring service life. These needs exist within the framewode of other competing and conflicting uses for existing and yet to be developed water sources. The problems have generated some highly visible national debates over financing due to the large sums involved. Despite differences in the age of the North American, European and other societies, the technological ages of water supply and storm water systems are much the same and provide a common denominator in the worldwide trend to urbanization. Examination of approaches to urban water management also indicates that they are generally based on past experience and institutions created in a non-urban era. The physical, financial and institutional alternatives are consequently often out-of-step with current urban environment. Historically, the supply of adequate water and efficient storm water management have also been top priority items with water quality and other aspects of environmental protection assuming a lower priority after basic supply needs have been met.

Book excerpt: Willtown was founded in the late 17th century on the banks of the South Edisto River, but the movement of the Willtown Church in the 1760s to another location marked the demise of the town. Hugh C. Lane Jr. encouraged The Charleston Museum in its research in and around the Willtown area, asking the question, "Why did Willtown fail?" "Our serendipitous discovery of James Stobo's rice plantation a mile from Willtown revealed a site remarkable in its pristine preservation, the clarity of its stratigraphic record, the number and types of artifacts recovered, and in the complexity of its architectural detail."--Introduction, p. 1.
