As the world population increases, there is increasing competition for waterquantity as well as quality. Provided here is an up-to-date perspective on Available Water Resources (Part I), Water Conservation and Technology inAgricultural Systems (Part II), Problem Water Uses and Treatment (Part III),and Management and Policy Evaluation (Part IV). The book is an invaluable source of information for water resource planners, managers and policy makers, researchers and students, and irrigationists.

In this report we review the irrigation system evaluation study conducted by the El Dorado Irrigation District's (EID) Irrigation Management Service (IMS) during the summer of 1981. We conducted this study, following several years of crop irrigation research and six years of scheduling experience with the El Dorado IMS to better understand the operation of farm irrigation systems, the efficiency of these systems and the effect upon agricultural water conservation within the EID service area. Information gathered during this project documents the current on-farm situation with regard to irrigation system types, management practices, and operational efficiencies. This information is presently being used to teach farmers how to efficiently use and improve their irrigation systems and practices. We expect that once this information has been properly presented to farmers they will adopt the water budget approach to irrigation management.

Planning and Evaluation of Irrigation Projects: Methods and Implementation presents the considerations, options and factors necessary for effective implementation of irrigation strategies, going further to provide methods for evaluating the efficiency of systems-in-place for remedial correction as needed. As the first book to take this lifecycle approach to agricultural irrigation, it includes real-world examples not only on natural resource availability concerns, but also on financial impacts and measurements. With 21 chapters divided into two sections, this book is a valuable resource for agricultural and hydrology engineers, conservation scientists and anyone seeking to implement and maintain irrigation systems. - Uses real-world examples to present practical insights - Incorporates both planning and evaluation for full-scope understanding and application - Illustrates both potential benefits and limitations of irrigation solutions - Provides potential means to increase crop productivity that can result in improved farm income

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.

This book gathers contributions on modern irrigation environments in Egypt from an environmental and agricultural perspective. Written by leading experts in the field, it discusses a wide variety of modern irrigation problems. In the context of water resources management in Egypt, one fundamental problem is the gap between growing water demand and limited supply. As such, improving irrigation systems and providing farmers with better control over water are crucial to increasing productivity. The book presents state-of-the-art technologies and techniques that can be effectively used to address a range of problems in modern irrigation, as well as the latest research advances. Focusing on water sensing and information technologies, automated irrigation technologies, and improved irrigation efficiency. It brings together a team of experts who share their personal experiences, describe the various applications, present recent advances, and discuss possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration and implementing the techniques covered
