Delta Drainage and Irrigation System - Case Study
Background Delta, British Columbia is located in the Fraser River delta on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, just south of the City of Vancouver. Delta comprises mostly agricultural land, with typical ground elevations near sea level. Levees protect the area from potential floods from the Fraser River and tidal surges from the Pacific Ocean. Of the 13,500 hectares (ha) watershed, 6,300 ha is ...

Measurement and modelling of the water requirement of some greenhouse crops with artificial neural networks and genetic algorithm
Crop evapotranspiration is the most important parameter for management of irrigation systems in greenhouses. This study was conducted to determine the evapotranspiration of cucumber, tomato and peppers, using micro–lysimeter during seven months in a greenhouse located in central region of Iran. Reference evapotranspiration estimated using drainage lysimeters and the water balance of soil ...

Cotton subsurface drip and overhead irrigation efficiency, maturity, yield, and quality
Subsurface drip (SSD) is used as a water-efficient alternative to overhead irrigation in many crops. This study compared soil water, water use, crop maturity, lint yield, and fiber quality of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) grown with SSD to cotton grown with overhead irrigation. Three experiments were conducted at two Georgia locations in 2004 and 2005. Treatments consisted of overhead irrigated, ...

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 ...

Subsurface drip irrigation; the future of Irrigation is Underground
Placing water beneath the soil surface via buried lines is slowly becoming the "preferred choice" of many vineyard irrigators. The reasons are many, including the absence of surface evaporation, as well as reduced weed growth, herbicide washout, maintenance, injury, and vandalism found with using conventional water application systems. The advantages of subsurface drip add to reduced cost for ...
