Sasanian’s imperial policy aimed to construct new towns, massive irrigation infrastructures, and land modification bydepopulating rural areas in order to carry out massive agriculture projects particularly in Khuzestan. Shushtar with itsancient relics presents a unique chance to investigate some of these development activities, mainly in terms of irrigation.Several chief irrigation organs have ...

Rising demand for food, fiber, and biofuels drives expanding irrigation withdrawals from surface water and groundwater. Irrigation efficiency and water savings have become watchwords in response to climate-induced hydrological variability, increasing freshwater demand for other uses including ecosystem water needs, and low economic productivity of irrigation compared to most other uses. We iden...

In the article, a mathematical model of movement water drop flying out nozzle with deflector during artificial rain was built. The resulting equations were solved by an approximate method using specially developed program at EHM. parameters affecting irrigation process analyzed based on obtained results.

The aim of this article is to explore ways of increasing agricultural productivity in Zimbabwe in the face of the increasingly uncertain climatic conditions. Agriculture has remained crucial to economic growth in Zimbabwe while it is mainly rain-fed. The total seasonal rainfall amounts are not indicating any significant trend (increasing or decreasing) with time. Changes are only noticed in the...

[1] Past land use changes have greatly impacted global water resources, with often opposing effects on water quantity and quality. Increases in rain-fed cropland (460%) and pastureland (560%) during the past 300 years from forest and grasslands decreased evapotranspiration and increased recharge (two orders of magnitude) and streamflow (one order of magnitude). However, increased water quantity...

Rice paddies in central Thailand are flooded either by irrigation (irrigated rice) or by rain (rain-fed rice). The paddy soils and their microbial communities thus experience permanent or arbitrary submergence, respectively. Since methane production depends on anaerobic conditions, we hypothesized that structure and function of the methanogenic microbial communities are different in irrigated a...

The socioeconomic context brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine, caused a crisis world economy. Faced with this situation of inflation rise dollar, access to basic items such as water cooking gas has become an obstacle for needy population. There are alternatives overcome scarcity, one them is use harvesting systems low-cost technologies, which facilitate replication environments ...

As part of a larger, collaborative study, we conducted field experiments to investigate how rainfall signals propagate through an unsaturated soil profile, leading to a rapid pore pressure response and slope instability. We sprinkler-irrigated an entire, unchanneled headwater basin in the steep, humid Oregon Coast Range, and we drove the system to quasi steady state as indicated by tensiometers...
