It covers: Basics of irrigation - importance, history, sources of water (rainfall, reservoirs, tanks, groundwater), and key terminologies like field capacity, wilting point, and irrigation efficiency.Soil-water relations - how soil texture, structure, and porosity influence water retention, movement, and availability to crops.Measurement and dynamics - methods to measure soil moisture, infiltration, permeability, evapotranspiration, and factors affecting them.Irrigation scheduling and techniques - criteria for when and how to irrigate using methods such as check basin, furrow, ring basin, and border strip systems.Drainage and efficiency - types of surface and subsurface drainage systems, their design, advantages, and suitability for different soils.Water use efficiency (WUE) - how climatic, genetic, and management factors affect crop water productivity, and strategies to enhance irrigation efficiency at the farm and project level.OverallIt promotes climate-smart, sustainable, and efficient irrigation practices to ensure food security and water conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46437497438359,"sku":"9786209112423","price":4231.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786209112423.webp?v=1769135272","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/climate-smart-water-management-strategies-for-a-changing-environment-9786209112423","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
