Turning Water to Wine: An Analysis of Texas Wine Industry Water Management
Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Texas wine industry is expanding in scale and reputation during a period when sustainability concerns are increasingly visible and valuable to grape growers and wine producers in Texas. Most vineyard hectarage in Texas is in the High Plains and Hill Country American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), which rely on regional aquifers for water. With

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of crop water use is critical for precision irrigation, yet conventional lysimeter systems remain too costly and complex for widespread adoption. This study presents the development and field validation of a low‐cost, information and communication technology (ICT)‐enabled weighing lysimeter system that integrates load cells,

Evapotranspiration and Water Management for Crop Production [PDF]
, 2011 1.2 Transpiration (T) Transpiration is the loss of water under the form of vapor by the plants, predominantly by means of leaves, although in woody plants a tiny loss might also occur through the lenticels of the bark of branches. On the leaves evaporation befalls from the cell walls into the direction of air intercellular spaces, coming up the ...
