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

Fluvial transport of suspended sediment and organic carbon during flood events in a large agricultural catchment in southwest France. [PDF]

, 2011
Water draining from a large agricultural catchment of 1 110 km2 in southwest France was sampled over an 18-month period to determine the temporal variability in suspended sediment (SS) and dissolved (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) transport ...

A Novel Approach as a Smart Irrigation Decision Support and Management System Providing Environmental Optimization in Sustainable Irrigation Management: ENORASIS

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ENORASIS has been developed as a real‐time smart irrigation decision support and management system consisting of weather forecasting systems based on satellite observations, irrigation optimization techniques and wireless sensor networks. This study revealed that irrigation could be managed with ENORASIS without a significant decrease in ...

Potential of Photovoltaic and Diesel Off‐Grid Systems for Irrigation in Brazil Considering Carbon Credits

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.

Global irrigation water demand: Variability and uncertainties arising from agricultural and climate data sets [PDF]

, 2008
Agricultural water use accounts for around 70% of the total water that is withdrawn from surface water and groundwater. We use a new, gridded, global-scale water balance model to estimate interannual variability in global irrigation water demand arising ...

Deficit Irrigation and Soil Amendment as Drought Adaptation Strategies: Water Use Efficiency in Pot Experiments With Wheat

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amidst climate change and recurring droughts, increasing irrigation water amount and frequency alone is not a definitive solution to address water scarcity in agricultural crop production, particularly in soils with poor water retention capacity. This study evaluated the effects of two drought adaptation strategies (deficit irrigation and soil

Evaluating Hydrologic Response of an Agricultural Watershed for Watershed Analysis [PDF]

Water, 2011
This paper describes the hydrological assessment of an agricultural watershed in the Midwestern United States through the use of a watershed scale hydrologic model. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was applied to the Maquoketa River watershed, located in northeast Iowa, draining an agriculture intensive area of about 5,000 km2.
