Selection of Irrigation Methods for Agriculture
2000,
144 pages

Selection of Irrigation Methods for Agriculture is a must-read for anyone in the field of agricultural irrigation. This report not only explains irrigation methods and their variations, but also provides an extensive section on what elements to take into consideration before choosing any method. The methods of irrigation outlined include surface irrigation, drip/macro irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and subirrigation. Each method (including variations) is afforded its own chapter, wherein its capabilities, limitations, institutional considerations, and economic factors are carefully detailed. Readers will find that there is no universally “best” irrigation method, and that the proper method selection will depend upon the crop, climate, economics, water quality, support infrastructure, energy availability, and numerous other factors. As such, this report will remain a valuable resource each time a new irrigation need arises.
