Project - FP202 - Upscaling Ecosystem Based Climate Resilience of Vulnerable Rural Communities in the Valles Macro-region of the Plurinational State of Bolivia (RECEM-Valles)
The Los Valles Macro-region in the landlocked, South American state of Bolivia is threatened by increasing temperatures and precipitation instability. Furthermore, frost intensity and hail events have put pressure on the delicate water systems in the valley. Climate change increases the vulnerability of water systems and the agricultural sector in the region, particularly smallholder farmers ...

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 ...

Irrigating with reclaimed water through permanent subsurface drip irrigation systems
ABSTRACT In Hawaii, reclaimed water has been used in agricultural irrigation and the irrigation of golf courses and other large landscaped areas. However, the Hawaii Department of Health's new "Guidelines for the Treatment and Use of Reclaimed Water" published in November 1993, limits uses of reclaimed water through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems. The subsurface drip irrigation concept ...

Irrigation and Nitrogen Best Management Practices Under Drip Irrigated Vegetable Production
Abstract Plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used in high intensity vegetable production regions such as Florida. Drip irrigation can be much more efficient than sprinkler irrigation since only the root zone of the cropped area is irrigated. However, improper irrigation management can lead to wasted water and leaching of soluble chemicals such as nitrate. In this project, several ...

Seasonal ammonia losses from spray-irrigation with secondary-treated recycled water
This work examines ammonia volatilization associated with agricultural irrigation employing recycled water. Effluent from a secondary wastewater treatment plant was applied using a center pivot irrigation system on a 12 ha agricultural site in Palmdale, California. Irrigation water was captured in shallow pans and ammonia concentrations were quantified in four seasonal events. The average ammonia ...

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 ...

Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) on Turfgrass: A University Experience
ABSTRACT The practice of placing tubing and drip emitters beneath the soil surface to irrigate crops continues to gain acceptance in agriculture, particularly in the production of annual crops. However, the use of the subsurface drip method to irrigate turfgrass has only begun to be explored. This paper focuses on the experiences gained at California State University, Fresno (CSUF) in adopting ...
