Evaluation of soil water losses under irrigation saving techniques in a semi-arid region in Tunisia

increased water productivity of wheat under supplemental irrigation and nitrogen application in a semi-arid region

limitations of water and nitrogen in soil usually restrict plant growth. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different amounts of supplemental irrigation at different growth stages and application of different rates of nitrogen fertilizer on grain yield and water productivity of wheat cultivars. a field experiment was conducted in the agricultural research station of shah...

Modelling evaporation and drift losses in irrigation with medium size impact sprinklers under semi-arid conditions

A proper understanding of factors affecting evaporation and drift losses in sprinkle irrigation is important for developing water conservation strategies. For estimating drift and evaporation losses during the set sprinkler irrigation event, several outdoor single-sprinkler and block irrigation tests have been conducted. Various sprinkler±nozzle±riser height combinations were used and the varia...

Soil water regime and water concervation efficiency in a non-irrigated semi-arid environment

Evaluation of Eight Evaporation Estimation Methods in a Semi-arid Region (Dez reservoir, Iran)

Establishing satisfactory estimation methods of lake evaporation has been crucial vital for research and management of water resources and ecosystems. Determining the accurate method to estimate evaporation from reservoirs in the investigation and management of water resources is very important. Hence, in this study eight empirical methods such as; Makkink, DeBruin-Kejiman, Penman, Priestley-Ta...
