About the Book

Fresh water is becoming an increasingly precious commodity. In the near future, control of it could lead to the type of political instability that is now associated with energy shortages. This book addresses the different aspects of irrigation, including not only the management of water resources and scientific and technical aspects, but also matters related to policy and economics. Bringing together papers from the First International Conference on Sustainable Irrigation Management, Technologies and Policies, the book covers topics such as: Irrigation Controls; Irrigation systems and planning; Irrigation Modelling; Irrigation Management. The emphasis of the Conference on inter-disciplinary activities explored new areas for collaboration among different professionals involved in irrigation studies and applications. This book will therefore be a valuable resource for researchers and scientists in academia and industry as well as professional practitioners and policy makers.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: Irrigation controls Surface irrigation with a variable inflow hydrograph; Simulation of performance for a simple real time control system of furrow irrigation Section 2: Irrigation systems and planning Sustainable irrigation in South China: a case study of the Chengyang valley; Evapotranspiration, yield, crop coefficients, and water use efficiency of drip and furrow irrigated processing tomatoes; Problems of the irrigation system in the Turpan Basin of China; Allocation of flow to plots in pressurized irrigation distribution networks; Assessing canal seepage and soil salinity using the electromagnetic remote sensing technology; Is drip irrigation sustainable in the salt affected soil of the San Joaquin Valley of California?; Managing salinity in degraded soils by mandatory tree planting: on dynamics and economic modeling of a common pool resource; Local-scale solute transport in variously structured soils under continuous flood irrigation Section 3: Irrigation modelling AWAM: a model for optimal land and water resources allocation; Sustainable irrigation in the Yanqi basin, China; Water productivity: a basic tool for sustainable irrigation; Kerman weighing electronic lysimeter error analysis; Improving irrigation practice in New Zealand; Hydraulic modelling of drip irrigation systems used for grass establishment on steep slopes; Development of a crop water use module for the WAS program to determine scheme-level irrigation demand; Subsurface irrigation by condensation of humid air; Theoretical and experimental analysis on the thermal fluid dynamics of water droplets in irrigation; Section 4: Irrigation management Social and irrigation water management issues in some water user's associations of the Low Segura River Valley (Alicante, Spain); Towards sustainable irrigation in Western Australia; CustodiansA" or InvestorsA": classifying irrigators in Australia's Namoi Valley; Irrigation management: the optimization perspective; Decision support systems for efficient irrigated agriculture; Irrigation with low quality water: model approach; Quarry plans in the management of water resources: case study of the River Serio; Strategic decision-making for water resource management in semi-arid metropolitan and rural areas; Increased participation in Australian water markets; Irrigated agriculture and the environment in the Tarim River watershed: case study of the Shaya irrigation district in the Ugen River basin; Energy revenue in irrigation systems: a case study; Rio Grande Basin water conservation project; Promoting the effective use of water in the irrigation of permanent crops in the Western Cape Province of South Africa; Surface measurements of hydraulic properties in an irrigated soil using a disc permeameter; The contribution of water accounting to irrigation efficiency; Crop management in a district within the Ebro River Basin using remote sensing techniques to estimate and map irrigation volumes; Cost-effectiveness analysis of measures to reduce nitrogen loads from agriculture: do secondary benefits matter?
