While in the field of hydrology remote sensing techniques are often applied and well accepted there is still a deficit in the use of remote sensing techniques in the field of planning, design and operation of water resources systems. It is the aim of this paper to overcome this deficit and encourage water managers to use remote sensing techniques more widely. In order to achieve this, several s...

Crop irrigation uses more than 70% of the world's water, and thus, improving irrigation efficiency is decisive to sustain the food demand from a fast-growing world population. This objective may be accomplished by cultivating more water-efficient crop species and/or through the application of efficient irrigation systems, which includes the implementation of a suitable method for precise schedu...

2 The aim of this study was to establish threshold TGR and MDS values which could be 3 used in regulated deficit irrigation in future work. Three irrigation treatments were 4 performed during three seasons in a 37 year-old table olive orchard in Seville (Spain). 5 Control treatment was irrigated with 125% of the crop evapotranspiration. Regulated 6 deficit irrigation (RDI) treatments were perfo...

At present and more so in the future, irrigated agriculture will take place under water scarcity. Insufficient water supply for irrigation will be the norm rather than the exception, and irrigation management will shift from emphasizing production per unit area towards maximizing the production per unit of water consumed, the water productivity. To cope with scarce supplies, deficit irrigation,...

The tomato cultivated surface is one of the most important surfaces in world. This crop needs a sufficient and continuous supply water during vegetative growth. Therefore, production may be at risk warm water-scarce areas. implementation irrigation alternatives such as regulated deficit (RDI) great importance to reduce use improve quality tomatoes. objective this work was evaluate scheduling us...

At present, the shortage of water resources has become a serious constraint to the further development of social economy. The optimal allocation of multi-water resources is valuable for agricultural water management in arid and semi-arid regions. However, traditional deterministic programming does not solve the complex water resources allocation in irrigation systems. Furthermore, previous allo...

This study investigated the effect of deficit irrigation at three management allowable depletion levels (MAD) 25%, 50%, and 75% on phytochemicals, ascorbic acid, antioxidant activity, glucose, fructose, and fresh and dry mass in two green leafy lettuce cultivars (Lollo Bionda and Vera) at harvest. Genotype response was observed during deficit irrigation on fresh and dry mass at harvest. Vera re...

irrigation scheduling means applying the right amount of water at the right time. in this research, thecurrent irrigation scheduling implemented in the mirza-kuchak-khan sugarcane agro-industry farmslocated in ahwaz was compared with the actual sugarcane crop water requirement using swapmodel. due to lack of field measured data, the swap model was calibrated and evaluated usinglandsat 7 etm+ im...
