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 ...

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 ...

Hydrological Factors for Phosphorus Transfer from Agricultural Soils
, 1999 Understanding and managing against phosphorus (P) transfer from agricultural soils to receiving waters is a multidisciplinary task in which the role of hydrology is particularly difficult to simplify. We review current knowledge to define the spatial and temporal controls on P transfer from agricultural soils via the various hydrological pathways ...

Agroforestry Innovation through Planned Farmer Behavior: Trimming in Pine–Coffee Systems
Land, 2020 Knowledge transfer depends on the motivations of the target users. A case study of the intention of Indonesian coffee farmers to use a tree canopy trimming technique in pine–based agroforestry highlights path-dependency and complexity of social ...
