A theory based on Manning roughness equation, Philip equation and water balance equation was developed which only employed the advance distance in the calculation of the infiltration parameters and irrigation coefficients in both the border irrigation and the surge irrigation. The improved procedure was validated with both the border irrigation and surge irrigation experiments. The main results...

Despite of the water use increment for other sectors than agriculture, the water use for irrigation is the main water consumer in global scale. However, irrigation has been pressured by the civil society to improve water use efficiency in agriculture, to prevent water scarcity for human population that grows continuously, mainly in developing areas of the planet. On the other hand, the irrigati...

evaporation is one of the most important components of hydrologic cycle.accurate estimation of this parameter is used for studies such as water balance,irrigation system design, and water resource management. in order to estimate theevaporation, direct measurement methods or physical and empirical models can beused. using direct methods require installing meteorological stations andinstruments ...

the objective in this study was to assess the performance of the control algorithms and determine the appropriate controller for aghili irrigation network. to evaluate the efficiency of the control algorithms, the performance criteria of the maximum absolute error, integral absolute error and steady state error were considered during the simulations of a one month period and with regard to the ...

A rain gauge network should serve general as well as specific purposes such as water supply, hydropowergeneration, flood forecasting, irrigation, and flood control. The level of accuracy a network can achieve depends onthe number and locations of gauges in the network. In this study, a rain gauge network was designed for Hormozganprovince in the south of Iran. Monthly rainfall totals from 124 r...

Agricultural irrigation practices will likely be affected by climate change. In this paper, we use a statistical model relating observed water use by U.S. producers to the moisture deficit, and then use this statistical model to project climate changes impact on both the fraction of agricultural land irrigated and the irrigation rate (m³ ha⁻¹). Data on water withdrawals for US states (1985-2005...

Multiple datasets of two consecutive vintages of replicated grape and wines from six different deficit irrigation regimes are characterized and compared. The process consists of four temporal-ordered signature phases: harvest field data, juice composition, wine composition before bottling and bottled wine. A new computing paradigm and an integrative inferential platform are developed for discov...

With the increasing worldwide population and requirement for efficient approaches to farm care irrigation, demand water is constantly rising, resources are becoming scarce. This has led development of smart management systems that aim improve efficiency management. paper pioneers an effective Irrigation Water Quality Prediction (IWQP) model using a convolution neural architecture can be trained...

Maximizing utilization of effluent nutrients by forage grasses requires a better understanding of irrigation rate and timing effects. This study was conducted in 1998 and 1999 on a Vaiden silty clay (very-fine, smectitic, thermic Aquic Dystrudert) soil to determine the effects of swine lagoon effluent irrigation rate and timing on bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] growth, nitrogen (N) ...
