Tunisia: Reform of irrigation policy and water conservation
An arid country with limited water resources, Tunisia depends heavily on irrigated agriculture. The sector contributes 30-40% of the value of agricultural production, and is highly important in some regions. However, abstraction for irrigation accounts for 83% of the available water resources, competing with other uses. To conserve water resources and encourage demand management in the irrigation ...

Evaluation of remote sensing to measure plant stress in creeping bentgrass (agrostis stolonifera l.) fairways
Turfgrass irrigation strategies must be clearly defined in response to increasing concerns over quality water availability. Water conservation may be achieved with technologies such as remote sensing. The objectives of this research were to (i) correlate reflectance measurements from creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) under stress with volumetric water content and turf quality ...

Deficit irrigation optimization of cotton with aquacrop
Given the current pressures to reduce irrigation water use, it is important to optimize the use of water in irrigated agriculture. This work was aimed at determining the optimum level of applied irrigation water (AIW) for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in southern Spain under several climatic and agricultural policy scenarios. To generate the yield response to variations in AIW, we ...

Performance of a new capacitance soil moisture probe in a sandy soil
Rapid population growth and increasing urban demand reduce the availability of water for agriculture in Florida. The water-holding capacity of sandy soils in the Central Florida Ridge area is very poor (<0.10 m3 m–3). Improved soil water monitoring probes can help growers manage irrigation more efficiently and conserve water. This study evaluated a new soil water probe (ECH2O EC-5 sensor, Decagon ...

Using Soil EC Sensors for Irrigation Management
I. Introduction Irrigation is a critical component of agriculture, ensuring that crops receive the necessary amount of water for optimal growth and yield. However, the efficient use of water is becoming increasingly important due to water scarcity and the need to conserve resources. Soil EC sensors offer a valuable tool for irrigation management, allowing farmers to monitor soil moisture levels ...

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 ...
