  • Indigenous alternatives for use of saline and alkali waters
  • Hydraulic performance
  • Distribution of moisture
  • Fertigation technology
  • Buried micro irrigation laterals
  • Drip irrigation scheduling
  • Rainwater harvesting
  • Adoption and economic impact of a micro irrigation model
This book is a must for those interested in irrigation planning and management, namely, researchers, scientists, educators, and students.
