Handbook of Irrigation Hydrology and Management cover

The Handbook of Irrigation Hydrology and Management examines and analyzes irrigated ecosystems in which water storage, applications, or drainage volumes are artificially controlled in the landscape and the spatial domain of processes varies from micrometers to tens of kilometers, while the temporal domain spans from seconds to centuries. The continuum science of irrigation hydrology includes the surface, subsurface (unsaturated and groundwater systems), atmospheric, and plant subsystems. Further, it presents numerous considerations including the selection of economically viable cropping patterns, land allocation by crop, water resource allocation by crop, irrigation scheduling, deficit management irrigation, optimizing crop yields, and more.

Features:

  • Offers water-saving strategies to increase the judicious use of scarce water resources
  • Presents strategies to maximize agricultural yield per unit of water used for different regions
  • Compares irrigation methods to offset changing weather patterns and impacts of climate change
