Study on the joint probability distribution of irrigation water volume and irrigation water efficiency
Using the copula method, the joint probability distribution of irrigation water volume and efficiency is constructed, and their joint return period is also described to reveal the encounter probability of irrigation water volume and efficiency. Furthermore, the conditional probability of irrigation water efficiency with different water volumes is built to show the quantitative effects of flow ...

Soil water movement under a drip irrigation double-point source
Particularly in dry regions, the scarcity of high-quality fresh water has heightened the importance of urban runoff water re-use, leading as well to the improvement of water use efficiency through the surface drip irrigation method. Given the limited research on wetting front migration under a surface drip irrigation emitter, soil water movement under a double-point-source irrigation emitter ...

Understanding irrigation water use efficiency at different scales for better policy reform: a case study of the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia
This paper examines water use efficiency and economic efficiency with a particular focus on the Murray-Darling Basin of Australia and the stated policy goal of increasing environmental flows of water in the Basin. The different measures of efficiency are explained, and their implications for water reform and the efficacy of market based approaches to addressing the water scarcity issues and ...

Solution for Submerged Flow Monitoring in Raymond Irrigation District - Case Study
Raymond Irrigation District (RID) measures the flow rate of water delivered to over 46,000 acres of irrigated land and 300 municipal and agricultural water users in Southern Alberta, Canada. Concrete Water Culverts Before Canal is in Operation Most of the RID’s flow monitoring applications are in open channels or partially filled culverts. For help with this submerged culvert ...

Self-Cleaning Irrigation Water Filters
One of the critical components of successful agriculture is irrigation, which ensures that crops receive the water they need to thrive. However, using untreated or impure water for irrigation can have detrimental effects on crops and the environment. Self-cleaning irrigation water filters have emerged as a groundbreaking solution to this problem. The Importance of Self-Cleaning Irrigation Water ...

Numerical simulation of bare soil water and heat flow under an automated irrigation system
Modern irrigation techniques use automated systems where irrigation schedules are controlled according to certain criteria. The objective of this study is to numerically estimate irrigation events, water content and temperature distributions, evaporation, drainage, and soil water under closed loop automated irrigation systems of a bare soil. The automated irrigation system is activated and ...

The Accurate Way to Soil Moisture Sensing
Why Acclima soil moisture sensor technology is superior in terms of accuracy and cost Permittivity is a property of matter and is well characterized especially for materials that are electrically non-conductive. Water in its pure form is non-conductive. Permittivity quantifies the charge holding capacity for insulating materials. It is the ratio of stored electric charge to an applied electric ...

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 ...

Why Drip Irrigation Design is Crucial to Your Success
Drip irrigation is one of the most cost-effective and efficient watering methods in agriculture. It has become incredibly popular in the past 50-years and has been widely adopted by agriculturalists in dozens of countries throughout the world. In simple term, drip irrigation works by sending water through plastic pipes into drip emitters. These emitters are specifically designed to release water ...

Our global Ponzi economy
Our mismanaged world economy today has many of the characteristics of a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme takes payments from a broad base of investors and uses these to pay off returns. It creates the illusion that it is providing a highly attractive rate of return on investment as a result of savvy investment decisions when in fact these irresistibly high earnings are in part the result of consuming ...

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 ...
