Irrigation and water management

Water and Environment addresses imbalances between availability and demand, degradation of surface and ground waters, inter-sectorial, inter-regional and international competition in water management.

World population is set to increase by a third in the next 25 years, with no corresponding increase in global rainfall.

Faced with challenges of resource scarcity and environmental degradation, it is important to adopt innovative farming systems that maximize resource efficiency while protecting the environment.

This volume contains a detailed guide to wells and well sinking, with a wealth of detailed Information on obtaining and managing a small water supply.

This volume offers a detailed treatise on agricultural irrigation, including information on water quantities, sewage, reservoirs, and various methods of irrigation.

This study on sustainable irrigation development identified growing markets for irrigated products as an important driving force behind the expansion of irrigation which has given rise to new technologies.

As the world's population increases and the demand for water increases apace there is a rising demand for information concerning the reuse of wastewater, particularly for the irrigation of key food crops worldwide.

The soil is a fundamental constituent of the Earth's system, maintaining a careful state of equilibrium within the biosphere.

This work describes the role of sediment transport in the operation and maintenance of demand-based downstream controlled irrigation canals.

Volume 3 takes the subject of better land husbandry further.

Increases in populations have created an increasing demand for food crops while increases in demand for biofuels have created an increase in demand for fuel crops.
