Reservoirs are principal water resources that supply irrigation water to paddy fields and play an important role in water resources management in South Korea. For optimal irrigation reservoir operation and management, it is necessary to determine the duration of irrigation water shortages. Management of reservoir operation and irrigation scheduling should take into consideration essential varia...

As in many other countries, the poor economic rate of return of many past irrigation projects in India contributed to the decline in irrigation investment and lending by international agencies, especially since the 1990s (Gulati and Narayanan 2003, Pitman 2002, Jones 1995). Furthermore, these low rates of economic return may have diminished the poverty reduction impacts of such irrigation proje...

in order to investigate the effect of irrigation intervals and harvesting time on yield and yield components of anise (pimpinella anisum l.) a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, university of zanjan in 2010. for this purpose a spilt-plot experiment based on complete randomized block design with three replications was used. three irrigation intervals (every 7, 1...

Endodontic irrigation aims to clean and disinfect the root canal system. Passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) is based on the use of an ultrasound-activated instrument into the root canal filled with irrigant. The aim of this study was to evaluate, ex vivo, the effectiveness of PUI in eliminating Enterococcus faecalis from root canals. Seventy-five extracted human single-root teeth were used. Af...

This study was performed to evaluate changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) during standard coaxial phacoemulsification using 4 different bottle heights (BHs) and 2 different incision sizes. Coaxial phacoemulsification was performed with a venturi-based machine in 8 enucleated canine eyes through 3.0 and 3.2 mm clear corneal incisions (CCIs). A pressure transducer inserted in the peripheral corn...

drought is common across the south of iran, especially in darab district. accordingly, studying the economic aspects of deficit irrigation technique – that is one of the basic strategies in water saving for reducing water use of cotton as one of the main agricultural products in darab district is essential. in order to investigate the deficit irrigation technique and to determine its economic t...

prediction of weed emergence timing would help minimize crop yield loss and reducing herbicide use by optimization of the timing of weed control. therefore, seedling emergence evaluation was conducted in different irrigation levels (40, 60, 80, 100 percent of crop water requirement and furrow irrigation) to develop a thermal time seedling emergence model for amaranthus retroflexus l. in sunflow...

This paper presents the results of a collaborative work with farmers and a cost-benefit analysis of geospatial technologies applied to irrigation water management in a semi-arid agricultural area in Lower Austria. We use Earth observation (EO) data to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ET) and webGIS technologies to deliver maps and irrigation advice to farmers. The study reports the technical a...

the effects of planting date and single irrigation (si) allocation scenarios on increasing and stability of yield were investigated to determine the total water productivity and economical water productivity (wpe), for rainfed wheat at dryland agricultural research institute in maragheh, iran, during 2000-2004. the treatments included three sowing dates (early, normal and late), four allocation...
