Transferring irrigation management to farmer's associations: Evidence from the Philippines
Irrigation management transfer (IMT) is an important strategy among donors and governments that aims to strengthen farmer control over water and irrigation infrastructure. In this study, we use data from a survey of 68 irrigator associations (IAs) and 1020 farm households in the Philippines to examine the impact of IMT on irrigation association performance and on rice yields. We find that the ...

A farm irrigation pond contaminated with diesel case study
Due to a broken supply line a Yorkshire farm had a diesel oil spillage of approximately 1300 litres which contaminated the adjacent soil and the farm irrigation lagoon. Scientific Environmental Technologies (SET) were commissioned by the loss adjusters to bioremediate the contaminated site. SET chose Amnite P100 hydrocarbon degrading bacteria as the biological agent to break down the diesel ...

Soil Water Sensors for Agriculture – Theory and Issues
Soil water sensors have been used for irrigation and water management in agriculture for many years, but with limited success in many cases. Nonetheless, the use of soil water sensors in increasing as water scarcity increases and, conversely, problems associated with over irrigation also increase. Common problems with soil water sensing included sensor failure, problems with wiring, lack of or ...

Farm Dam Liners for Irrigation Dam Project in Kenya - Case Study
Farm dam liners are the kind of HDPE geomembrane liner which is the cost effective solution to prevent water leakage when you build a irrigation pond for crops, support aquaculture, or provide water for livestock. The thickness of farm dam liners should be determined according to the bearing water pressure. For the water head below 30m, the unreinforced polymer plastic dam linings can be ...
