Irrigation Application Management
The Irrigation Applications management takes all measurements of the inlet discharge and pressure at the pivot point and pivot end. Especially when the ground is uneven, where we take readings at the highest point. Preferably, this pressure value should be at least 5 PSI higher than the rated value of the pressure regulator, to ensure safety and proper operation, as the regulator must be ...

A model approach to evaluate irrigation system water balance: an example from the Gediz Basin, Turkey
An increase in the amount of water used for agriculture has resulted in the need for water savings and measurements in the agricultural sector. With the increasing competition for water, not only should irrigation water be considered, but also an approach encompassing the total water balance is necessary. A clear understanding of all the components of the water balance is essential so as to ...

Waterquality in irrigation canals and boreholes - Greece
Background Kavala is located in the North East of Greece, 680 km from the capital Athens. The population of the prefecture of Kavala is around 85,000 people. The River Nestos which flows through this prefecture is very important for the agriculture of the area. To allow for a fair distribution of the water for irrigation purposes, a number of Boreholes and canals have been established. The ...

Two Approaches for Optimizing Water Productivity
Agricultural Research Service researchers in Bushland, Texas, are helping farmers make the most of their water supplies in a region where they depend on the Ogallala Aquifer, a massive underground reservoir under constant threat of overuse. Steve Evett, Susan O'Shaughnessy, and their colleagues at the Conservation and Production Research Laboratory are developing and testing soil-water and ...

Briggs and Eggers Orchards Case Study
The 400-acre Briggs and Eggers Orchards in the fertile Bonita Springs Valley of southern Arizona have been growing apples, peaches and pears since 1968. Owners Lance and Melissa Eggers and Joe and Jean Briggs have been committed to building a strong organic program with sustainable environmental practices since 1990. Granite-rich alluvial soil and moderate, high-elevation Arizona summers allow ...

Water reuse through subsurface drip irrigation systems
Water reuse in Hawaii has been primarily relegated to agricultural irrigation and irrigation of golf courses and other large landscaped areas. The continuing effort to conserve and preserve potable water resources emphasizes using alternative water sources for irrigation. Agriculture, golf courses, highways, parks, playgrounds and cemeteries are among the heaviest users of irrigation water due to ...
