| modern irrigation technology: Irrigation Systems Adrian Laycock, 2011 Of all the confrontations man has engineered with nature, irrigation systems have had the most widespread and far-reaching impact on the natural environment. Over a quarter of a billion hectares of the planet are irrigated and entire countries depend on irrigation for their survival and existence. Considering the importance of irrigation schemes, it is unfortunate that until recently the technology and principles of design applied to their construction has hardly changed in 4,000 years. Modern thinking on irrigation engineering has benefited from a cross-fertilization of ideas from many other fields including social sciences, control theory, political economics and agriculture. However, these influences have been largely ignored by irrigation engineers. Drawing on almost 40 years of experience of irrigation in the developing world, Laycock introduces new ideas on the design of irrigation systems and combines important issues from the disciplines of social conflict, management, and political thinking. |
| modern irrigation technology: The Irrigation Sector , 1999 India's irrigated agriculture sector has been basic to India's economic development and poverty alleviation. One of India's major achievements is its rapid expansion of irrigation and drainage infrastructure. However, the major emphasis on development has been achieved at a cost. The importance put on new construction has diverted attention away from the need to ensure the quality, productivity, and sustainability of the services. Further, a governmental subsidy based approach has been used and this has resulted in irrigation and drainage services which, while enabling significantly higher productivity than from non-irrigated lands, are well below their potential. 'The Irrigation Sector' discusses directions for future growth, the framework for reform, and the reform agenda. |

| modern irrigation technology: A New Era for Irrigation National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources, Committee on the Future of Irrigation in the Face of Competing Demands, 1996-10-21 Irrigated agriculture has played a critical role in the economic and social development of the United Statesâ€but it is also at the root of increasing controversy. How can irrigation best make the transition into an era of increasing water scarcity? In A New Era for Irrigation, experts draw important conclusions about whether irrigation can continue to be the nation's most significant water user, what role the federal government should play, and what the irrigation industry must do to adapt to the conditions of the future. A New Era for Irrigation provides data, examples, and insightful commentary on issues such as: Growing competition for water resources. Developments in technology and science. The role of federal subsidies for crops and water. Uncertainties related to American Indian water rights issues. Concern about environmental problems. And more. The committee identifies broad forces of change and reports on how public and private institutions, scientists and technology experts, and individual irrigators have responded. The report includes detailed case studies from the Great Plains, the Pacific Northwest, California, and Florida, in both the agricultural and turfgrass sectors. The cultural transformation brought about by irrigation may be as profound as the transformation of the landscape. The committee examines major facets of this cultural perspective and explores its place in the future. A New Era for Irrigation explains how irrigation emerged in the nineteenth century, how it met the nation's goals in the twentieth century, and what role it might play in the twenty-first century. It will be important to growers, policymakers, regulators, environmentalists, water and soil scientists, water rights claimants, and interested individuals. |

Linking crop physiology, agronomy and irrigation practices, this book focuses on eleven key fruit crops upon which millions of people in the tropics and subtropics depend for their livelihoods (avocado, cashew, Citrus spp., date palm, lychee, macadamia, mango, olive, papaya, passion fruit and pineapple). Each chapter reviews international irrigation research on an individual fruit crop, identifying opportunities for improving the effectiveness of water allocation and encouraging readers to link scientific knowledge with practical applications. Clearly written and well illustrated, this is an ideal resource for engineers, agronomists and researchers concerned with how the productivity of irrigated agriculture can be improved, in the context of climate change, and the need for growers to demonstrate good irrigation practices. |
| modern irrigation technology: A Model of Investment Under Uncertainty Janis M. Carey, 2020 This article develops a stochastic dynamic model of irrigation technology adoption. It predicts that farms will not invest in modern technologies unless the expected present value of investment exceeds the cost by a potentially large hurdle rate. The article also demonstrates that, contrary to common belief, water markets can delay adoption. The introduction of a market should induce farms with abundant (scarce) water supplies to adopt earlier (later) than they would otherwise. This article was motivated by evidence that, contrary to NPV predictions, farms wait until random events such as drought drive returns significantly above costs before investing in modern irrigation technologies. |

| modern irrigation technology: Modern Irrigation Technologies for Smallholders in Developing Countries Gez Cornish, 1998 Modern Irrigation Technologies reviews the experience of smallholders with irrigation technologies in a range of diverse conditions in many different countries. Some people argue that modern irrigation technologies are the key to increased food production. However, projects introducing modern irrigation technologies in the developing world have often failed because the irrigation hardware, which has been developed for high-technology commercial agriculture, cannot be easily adapted for the use of the smallholder. The author identifies the pre-conditions relating to water availability, institutional support and economic opportunity that must be satisfied before smallholders in developing countries can adopt irrigation methods and benefit from them. The circumstances in which modern technologies were introduced are identified, and the relative success or otherwise of the initiatives are summarized. The book also contains a practical review of the range of irrigation hardware that is available and indicates the types of equipment that are more likely to meet the requirements of the smallholder sector. G.A.Cornish is an irrigation engineer with wide experience of technology transfer and staff training on irrigation schemes in sub-Saharan Africa and south and southeast Asia. He currently works at the Overseas Development Unit of HR Wallingford, UK. Modern Irrigation Technologies will be an invaluable guide to project workers, planners and smallholders involved in planning and designing irrigation projects. |

| modern irrigation technology: Irrigated Agriculture in Egypt Masayoshi Satoh, Samir Aboulroos, 2017-03-07 This book targets the issue of water scarcity in Egypt as a typical example of the world water crisis. Today, the available water resource is facing its limit because of rapid increase in water demand as a result of population growth and changes in peoples’ life-style. The basic idea to solve the problem of water scarcity is that the irrigation sector, the biggest user of water, should increase water use efficiency. However, the real problem is how this can be achieved in view of the crucial need for water in this sector. This book addresses this challenge through case studies from the Nile delta in Egypt. The water problem in the Nile delta, the major source for water in Egypt, is discussed in this book from all its various aspects. This book covers the situation before and after the advent of the Aswan High Dam, so that the reader understands the entire development. Another special feature are the extensive and scientific descriptions of contemporary topics in water and agriculture, especially from the viewpoint of water saving and sustainability. These descriptions are based on field experiments and surveys in a six-year international research project. Topics of this book are local, but their implications are global. |

| modern irrigation technology: Frontiers in Water Resource Economics Renan-Ulrich Goetz, Dolors Berga, 2006-03-09 Most of the books published previously in the field of water resource eco nomics focus on particular aspects of water economics such as institutions, pricing or water markets, but none of them have given particular attention to methodological questions. However, the applied methodology within economic research has made some remarkable advances over the last 10-20 years. Some of these advances are of particular interest to the field of water economics. Therefore, we think that a book that focusing on methodological advances within the field of water resource economics and showing how these advances can be applied in economic analysis of water issues makes a nice complement to the existing literature in this field. We identified five areas where we consider the methodological advances to be of particular importance: 1) asymmetric information and game theory, 2) un certainty, 3) space, 4) water quality and 5) production and technology adoption. The selected papers for the book fall entirely within these categories. The book ''Frontiers in Water Resource Economics draws to a great extent on papers which were presented at the 7^^ Conference of the International Water and Re source Economics Consortium, June 3-5,2001 held in Girona, Catalonia, Spain, This conference was jointly organized with the 4^^ Conference of Environmen tal and Resource Economics by the Department of Economics, University of Girona. |

| modern irrigation technology: Modern Techniques To Sustainable Agriculture Dr. Shubham Mishra, Dr. Sukirtee, Dr. Paras Kamboj, Ms. Disha Joshi, 2024-06-25 As of 2022, India's population was 1.417 billion. By 2030, the nation is expected to have more than 1.5 billion residents, making it the most populated in the world. Food is one of the most vital resources and there is a considerably larger need for resources now than there ever was due to the expanding population. Even though more than half of India's population works in agriculture, the country is fundamentally an agrarian economy, yet the agriculture industry has long experienced certain difficulties. The agricultural sector, which forms the foundation of the Indian economy, accounts for around 16.5% of the country's GDP. The art and science of cultivating a piece of land producing crops, and rearing livestock is known as agriculture. It gives the world food and textiles. Leather, wool, cotton and wood are other resources provided by agriculture. In India, agriculture is the primary source of income for the vast majority of people and is hence extremely important. Currently, the nation is dealing with second-generation issues, particularly those pertaining to nutrition, sustainability, the uptake of new agricultural technology and possibly most crucially the income levels of the farming-dependent populace. Agriculture is dealing with brand-new, unheard-of difficulties. The necessity for sustainable agriculture is more important than ever in light of the world's expanding population and rising food demand. The goal of this comprehensive reference, Modern Techniques to Sustainable Agriculture is to provide readers with up-to-date knowledge on the newest approaches and techniques in the field of sustainable agriculture. It seeks to close the knowledge gap between conventional agricultural methods and the demands of sustainable, eco-friendly agriculture. It is a thorough manual for comprehending and putting into practice sustainable agricultural methods that may feed the globe without depleting natural resources. It is divided into chapters that each cover a particular method or methodology, including a thorough summary, a how-to manual, and examples of successful applications of the method. It covers a wide range of issues that are essential to our agricultural systems' sustainability, from crop rotation and organic farming to precision agriculture and agroforestry. Anyone with an interest in agriculture, be it a student, researcher, policymaker, or farmer, is the target audience for this book. Regardless of your level of experience with the subject, everyone can easily understand the way the material is presented. This book aims to inform as well as motivate a new generation of scholars, farmers, academicians, and policymakers to embrace sustainable farming techniques that will determine the direction of agriculture in the future. The methods in this book have been shown to boost output while reducing environmental effect and are supported by extensive scientific study. We really believe that reading this book will help you better grasp the potential and difficulties that the sustainable agricultural industry faces. But above all, we hope that it will work as a catalyst, inspiring more people to engage in sustainable agriculture. We encourage you, the reader, to use these methods in your own farming endeavors in addition to taking lessons from this book. Share your insights, triumphs, and difficulties with others. By working together, we can make agriculture sustainable in the future. We are grateful that you have joined us on this adventure. Let's work together to create a future in which agriculture serves both the purpose of feeding the world and safeguarding it for future generations. |
| modern irrigation technology: Adaptation and Resilience Bonnie G. Colby, George B. Frisvold, 2012-06-25 In America's arid southwest, climate change will occur in the context of already-keen competition for water for agriculture, urban growth, electricity generation, water-based recreation, and environmental protections. This book explores the challenges that climate change and variability pose for water and energy managers and users, communities, and policy makers in the arid Southwest and demonstrates the application of economic methods to address these challenges. It provides valuable tools for both those interested in resource management and climate change, and those seeking to understand how economic methods can be used to analyze contemporary social problems and craft appropriate responses. The book considers both adaptation to long-term climate change and more immediate issues of water and electricity management in the face of inter-annual climate variability and drought. Thus, no matter what one's perspective on long-run climate change projections, the book provides useful lessons for some of the region's most pressing resource management problems. |
