Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Irrigation water supply is under scrutiny because of dwindling water resources. Most irrigation water in South Africa (SA) is transmitted by canals. Transmission water loss (TWL) accounts for 12% of the irrigation water losses in SA. Therefore, there is a need to investigate and understand the major parameters influencing TWL at Vaalharts ...

Hydrology of conflicts over shallow groundwater use and management in low coral islands [PDF]
, 2002 Groundwater is the major freshwater source in coral islands. Its availability, quality, and management are central to sustainable development and poverty alleviation. Increasing populations, growing per capita demand and restricted land areas limit water

Clogging Analysis in Drip Irrigation Systems: CFD and DEM Approaches
Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Clogging represents a critical challenge that undermines the efficiency and sustainability of drip irrigation systems by inducing uneven water distribution and increasing maintenance requirements. In this study, the phenomenon of clogging in drip emitters was investigated via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in conjunction with the discrete ...

Changes in hydrology and salinity accompanying a century of agricultural conversion in Argentina [PDF]
Ecological Applications, 2011 Conversions of natural woodlands to agriculture can alter the hydrologic balance, aquifer recharge, and salinity of soils and groundwater in ways that influence productivity and sustainable land use. Using a land-use change chronosequence in semiarid woodlands of Argentina's Espinal province, we examined the distribution of moisture and solutes and ...

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Irrigation is a crucial practice for the security of rural businesses, ensuring agricultural production even in periods without rainfall. This work aimed to analyse the financial viability of an off‐grid photovoltaic (PV) system as an alternative to traditional energy sources for pumping irrigation in Brazilian agricultural areas.

Assessing impacts of alternative agricultural land use scenarios on nitrogen leaching with the INCA-N model [PDF]
, 2006 The Integrated Nutrients Model for Catchments - Nitrogen (INCA-N) model was applied in Savijoki, a small (15,4 km2) agricultural catchment, in order to analyse possibilities to achieve the targeted 50 % reduction in agricultural nitrogen loading.
