Guidance on realizing real water savings with crop water productivity interventions


Book Description

This technical document contains clear and practical guidelines on how to implement real water savings in agriculture through interventions for enhancing crop water productivity. A distinction is made between real water savings and “apparent” water savings. Apparent water savings record reductions in water withdrawals but do not account for changes in water consumption. Real water savings record reductions in water consumption and non-recoverable return flows (runoff or percolation). This guidance document emphasizes the paradox of water savings at field and basin scales, which usually do not translate into increased water availability for other users, as is commonly believed.










Recent Developments in Geotechnics and Structural Engineering


Book Description

This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Trends and Recent Advances in Civil Engineering (TRACE 2022). It focuses on the latest research developments in structural engineering, structural health monitoring, rehabilitation and retrofitting of structures, geotechnical engineering, and earthquake-resistant structures. The book also covers the latest innovations in building repair and maintenance, AI and blockchain in structural engineering, advancements in the design of earthquake-resistant structures, and sustainable materials for rehabilitation and retrofitting. The contents of this book are useful for researchers and professionals working in structural and geotechnical engineering and allied areas.







An Introduction to Geosynthetic Engineering


Book Description

The development of the use of polymeric materials in the form of geosynthetics has brought about major changes in the civil engineering industry. Geosynthetics are available in a wide range of compositions appropriate to different applications and environments. Over the past three to four decades, civil engineers have grown increasingly interested
