In Kurnool district, due to the hot, arid climatic conditions, proper study of crop evapotranspiration and its effect on water demand for various crops is an extremely important issue. More focus will be given design development surface irrigation systems based mostly furrow irrigation, as rainfall pattern this district was irregular in 2005. The requirement parameters optimising beneficial uti...

Sandy fields have been reclaimed to exploit the grain production potential in northwestChina. A 2-year statistically replicated field study was conducted to determine the effects ofmulched drip irrigation on soil water, soil nitrate, shoot root growth and yields of maize on asandy field in the Hetao irrigation district. Treatments included border irrigation (BI), fullymulched drip irrigation (F...

Thirty-four percent (34.40%) of irrigation areas in Indonesia are under the authority central government, 17.89% provincial government and 47.71% District/Municipality government. Various efforts have been made by to improve performance surface water systems that cover 78% total area, however, did not significantly. One cause is due damage national canals affect system. The purpose this study w...

In an irrigation district, the water distribution network is essential point in management and delivery of to users. design a new way established, specific tools methods are applied achieve it. contrast, if district already built operation, improve use water, modernization project developed that must consider engineering social aspects area. this work, economic hydraulic analysis presented impl...

Because hydrologic responses of an agricultural watershed are influenced by many natural and man-made factors including pond/reservoir, management practices, and/or irrigation/drainage, strategies of hydrological modeling for the watershed must be case-dependent and thus carefully designed to effectively reflect their roles as critical hydrologic components in simulation processes. In this stud...

In Africa, malaria is predominantly a rural disease where agriculture forms the backbone of the economy. Various agro-ecosystems and crop production systems have an impact on mosquito productivity, and hence malaria transmission intensity. This study was carried out to determine spatial and temporal variations in anopheline mosquito population and malaria transmission intensity in five villages...

globally, irrigated agriculture is the largest extractor and the most frequent consumer of groundwater resources, with important groundwater-dependent and largely spread agro-economies. quality of irrigation water is one of the key factors which have either direct or indirect impact on plant growth, soil and water management practices and plant yields. this work aims at highlighting the importa...
