Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Irrigation Practice Irrigation and dry-farming are rapidly conquering drought. By these twin arts, bountiful and regular harvests may be gathered in the humid regions during the periodic dry seasons; and in the arid regions, the great deserts may be converted into most fruitful fields. Irrigation has a splendid record of success from the begin ning of history; dry-farming has only in recent days extended its conquests into the more arid regions; both have become more powerful in conquering drought as modern science has been applied to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation of Crops in the Southeastern United States: Principles and Practice For typical crop, soil, and climate situations, procedures are outlined for selecting irrigation equipment and for operating the equipment to provide the dependable soil-water control necessary for meeting a crop's water needs. The recommended procedures emphasize crop and soil characteristics and the maintenance of a critical soil volume at less than a specified soil-water suction. Equal emphasis is placed upon excessive water application and the leaching of nitrogen or other mobile nutrients out of the root zone. The option of supplying certain chemicals, particularly readily leached nutrients, through the irrigation system is discussed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation: Its Principles and Practice as a Branch of Engineering Irrigation is a subject which covers much ground, and cannot be confined within the narrow boundaries of a single volume. But the principles on which Irrigation Engineering is based can be collected in small compass, and be illustrated by examples of actual practice to the extent that space allows. What, therefore, this work attempts to do is to set forth the guiding principles that should govern the practice of irrigation, and to furnish illustrations of their application in existing canal systems. The majority of the illustrations have been selected from the wealth of material that the irrigation experience of India and Egypt supplies, for the following reasons. In the first place, I have been personally connected with irrigation in both countries, and can therefore handle the facts, relating to them, as one having authority on the subject, and not as the scribes, Whose methods I might be imitating were I to draw my illustrations from the records of other countries. In the second place, it is India that furnishes examples of irrigation on the largest scale, and that has been the school in which all British irrigation engineers, previously to England's occupa tion of Egypt, have undergone their training. Moreover, the excellent standard work on the subject, The Irrigation Works of India, by R. B. Buckley, provides in a convenient form more than enough material for copious illustrations, and I have made much use of it, with Mr. Buckley's kind permission. But it will be found that Egypt has been the favourite source of my borrowing. There are two good (so it appears to me) reasons for this. The first is that I am intimately acquainted with Egypt as an irrigating country. The second is that Egypt is par excellence the country of irrigation, as it is wholly depen dent for its existence on its mother, the Nile, from which it has never been weaned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Irrigation Practice Irrigation and dry-farming are rapidly conquering drought. By these twin arts, bountiful and regular harvests may be gathered in the humid regions during the periodic dry seasons; and in the arid regions, the great "deserts" may be converted into most fruitful fields. Irrigation has a splendid record of success from the beginning of history; dry-farming has only in recent days extended its conquests into the more arid regions; both have become more powerful in conquering drought as modern science has been applied to them. Successful irrigation-farming is the joint product of the engineer and the farmer. To the engineer is given the heavy and responsible task of constructing properly a permanent system of dams and canals from which water may be drawn; to the farmer belongs the apparently humble but unending and difficult task of using the water in the best manner for crop-production. Both workers are essential for success; but, the work of the farmer determines the permanence and extent of agriculture under irrigation. Much has been written about irrigation for the engineer, but little for the farmer. The few who have written about farming under irrigation have, most frequently, prepared crop or soil manuals, in which the use of water has formed a minor part.

Download or read book Guide to Irrigation Practice on the Pacific Coast Classic Reprint written by Samuel Fortier and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Irrigation Practice on the Pacific Coast It is chiefly for the benefit of this class that this Guide has been prepared. The limited space available will not admit of anything like a full discussion of important topics, but references have been made to other publications, which the reader may consult. Many of these are the publications of the Irrigation and Drainage branch of the Office of Experiment Stations, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Where these are referred to herein, the abbreviation "O. E. S." is used. These bulletins may be had on application to Dr. A. C. True, Director O. E. S., Washington, D. C. Owing to the somewhat wide difference in climate, products, and irrigation practice between the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast States, it was deemed advisable to adapt the first publication of this series to Pacific Coast conditions. How to Select an Irrigated Farm. The chief points to be considered in selecting an irrigated farm are a healthful and agreeable climate, the adaptability of the location to grow profitable crops, proximity to railroads, towns and markets, the fertility of the soil, a plentiful supply of water, and good drainage. On the Pacific Coast the winters are mild. January, February and March are rainy months, and the long summers are dry. Near the Coast the climate in summer is cool, while farther inland it is warm. One of the most marked advantages favoring the man who improves an irrigated farm is its probable increase in value. When a 40-acre tract can be purchased for $3,000, and in ten years increased in value to $10,000, the owner is making good profits in addition to the crops harvested. In order to reap the benefits of good harvests and an increase in farm values, the crops chosen for a given location must be those best adapted to soil and climate. Perhaps the best test of raw land in its desert state is the native vegetation it supports. Sage-brush, buffalo grass and cactus indicate good land easily worked and well drained. Ink weed, salt bush and salt grass indicate heavier soil, apt to bake when wet, and charged with more or less alkali.

Book excerpt: In many countries irrigated agriculture consumes a large proportion of the available water resources, often over 70% of the total. There is considerable pressure to release water for other uses and, as a sector, irrigated agriculture will have to increase the efficiency and productivity of its water use. This is particularly true for manually operated irrigation systems managed by government agencies, which provide water for a large number of users on small landholdings and represent 60% of the total irrigated area worldwide. --

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation by Overhead Sprinkling Although the irrigation of truck crops by overhead sprinkling has long been a common practice in some parts of the United States, with some citrus fruits irrigated this way in Florida, the application of water by overhead sprinkling has but recently become a factor in California orchard irrigation practice. Though scattered installations which have been in operation for some years are to be found in various parts of the State, the majority now in operation have been established since 1924.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Irrigation and Pumping: Water Requirements, Methods of Irrigation and Analyses of Cost and Profit To people living anywhere on the American continent west of the hundredth meridian, the practice of irrigation as a fundamental necessity in the production of crops is SO common a matter and so thoroughly a part of their daily observation and experience, that they scarcely appreciate the viewpoint of the farmer of the humid regions, who stands more or less aghast at the idea of spending a large sum per acre to secure for the growth of the most common crops that moisture which under his conditions, nature itself provides.
