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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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.

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 ...

Hydrological degradation of automorphic soils in agricultural landscapes

Dokuchaev Soil Bulletin, 2012
The impoverishment of physical and water properties resulted from the use in agriculture for a long period of time is exemplified by soddy-podzolic, gray soils and chernozems. Alternation of natural (forest, meadow and steppe) coenoses by agrocoenoses leads to degradation of soils, impoverishment of their temperature and water regimes, water supply and

Economic Footprint of Alberta's Irrigation Districts: An Economic Impact Analysis

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation development can be an effective economic force for agricultural production, regional development and urban and rural community development. This study estimated the societal economic footprint of the Irrigation Districts on the economy in Alberta, Canada, via a variety of economic impact analysis models.
