One of the least discussed aspects of the climate emergency is the water crisis, but as the realities of water stress and scarcity around the world really start to bite, there can be no doubt that it will soon become a hot topic of conversation, hitting headlines with increasing regularity as time goes on. Because water underpins every aspect of society in the 21st century, it is immediately ...
This experiment focused on: the comparison of crop responses, irrigation water requirements and salinity accumulations as affected by subsurface drip versus furrow irrigation; and the influence of two drip lateral spacings on the above characteristics. ...
Irrigation is essential to increase food production. However, competing needs and increasing drought makes water for irrigation scarce. Therefore, new methods and strategies are continuously being tested by scientists to improve food production, accompanied by better water use efficiency. This article will examine how modern field tools are helping in this venture. Irrigation Methods According ...

In the rice contest, most farmers used multiple-inlet rice irrigation and alternate wetting and drying. About half the fields were furrow irrigated; the other half used alternate wetting and drying. Furrow irrigation is a production system for rice that has become more popular in recent years. It was interesting ...
While the prevailing rationale for new irrigation technology adoption is improved water use efficiency, this study evaluated trade-offs between water savings, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and economic gain associated with the conversion of a furrow irrigation system to a sprinkler irrigation (lateral-move) system on a cotton ...
Raising water productivity begins with agriculture, simply because 70 percent of all water use goes to irrigation. Some irrigation technologies are much more efficient than others. The least efficient are flood and furrow irrigation. Sprinkler irrigation, using the center-pivot systems that are widely seen in the ...
The samplers were placed 30 and 150 m from the inflow source along a 180-m-long corn field. The field was furrow irrigated using WSPAM at the rate of 10 mg L–1 during furrow advance. Percolation water and furrow inflows were monitored for AMD during and after three furrow irrigations. ...
