A Simplified Irrigation Pump Testing Method for Developing Countries: A Case Study in Bangladesh. [PDF]
Irrig Drain, 2018 Abstract Much of South Asia experiences a monomodal rainfall pattern with a distinct dry season following the annual monsoon. Enabling irrigation during the dry season has therefore been crucial in assuring improved productivity and double‐cropping. This is particularly the case in southern Bangladesh, where recent government initiatives have called ...

Viewpoint: Irrigation water management in a space age
Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 71, Issue S1, Page 39-50, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Climate change and rapid population growth are already putting increasing demand and pressure on the world's freshwater resources. Irrigated agriculture is responsible for about 70% of global freshwater withdrawals, consuming the most amount of water.

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 815-839, April 2026.ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.

Development and Testing of a Low‐Cost Soil Moisture Sensor for Real‐Time Irrigation Scheduling
Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 173-187, February 2026.ABSTRACT Effective irrigation scheduling is essential for improved water management in irrigated areas, with soil moisture monitoring recognized as one of the most effective methods. However, challenges such as the high cost of sensors and the difficulties in monitoring large areas hinder their practical application, particularly for smallholder ...

Point of view - The search for maximum water use efficiency, an objective not to be disconnected from an integrated vision of the production system [PDF]
Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2020 Drip irrigation, and more subsurface drip irrigation, are particularly popular techniques for irrigating crops in regions where water resources are a major constraint. However, as François Gontard of BRL Exploitation shows, installing this equipment does

Arrosage par aspersion des pépinières de palmier à huile en sacs de plastique. I. Doses et fréquences d'irrigation [PDF]
, 1974 Les pépinières en sacs de plastique sont plus sensibles à la sécheresse que les pépinières en pleine terre car les réserves en eau de la motte sont plus faibles que celles du sol en place.

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1818-1829, October 2025.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 ...
