    Inf = Irr + Wel, where Irr = surface irrigation from the canal system, and Wel = the irrigation from wells; The field irrigation efficiency (Ff < 1) is: Ff = Era / Inf, where Era = the evapotranspiration of the crop (consumptive use) The value of Era is less than Inf, there is an excess of irrigation that percolates down to the subsoil (Per):

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation

    Micro-irrigation, sometimes called localized irrigation, low volume irrigation, or trickle irrigation is a system where water is distributed under low pressure through a piped network, in a pre-determined pattern, and applied as a small discharge to each plant or adjacent to it. Traditional drip irrigation use individual emitters, subsurface ...

    The old Sardar canal project in the state of Gujarat, India, was designed with an irrigation intensity of 32%, but at the upstream part the delivery was at an intensity of 42% (i.e. 131% of the design norm) and at the downstream end it was only 19% (i.e. 59% of the norm), although the project aimed at protective irrigation with equal rights for ...

    The schemes of the hydraulic-agrarian management, published in Caruso's book, are in all the university texts of Agronomy which have been edited until now; besides the nitrogen fertilization and irrigation are examined by linking theory to methods of calculation in a very modern way.

  7. Tropical agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_agriculture

    Salinization is a common side effect of irrigation. [5] As water is used by plants and evaporates from the soil surface, the salt in the water concentrates in the soil. The high temperatures and low humidity in arid regions means that salinization often accompanies irrigation.

    Modern agriculture: a center pivot irrigation system on a field. Agriculture encompasses crop and livestock production, aquaculture, and forestry for food and non-food products. Agriculture was a key factor in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in ...

  9. Keyline design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyline_design

    Keyline designs include irrigation dams equipped with through-the-wall lockpipe systems, gravity feed irrigation, stock water, and yard water. Graded earthen channels may be interlinked to broaden the catchment areas of high dams, conserve the height of water, and transfer rainfall runoff into the most efficient high dam sites.
