Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Long‐term economic analyses of variable rate irrigation (VRI) strategies were performed compared with uniform irrigation management (UIM) in a reference production field using the AquaCrop model. Five strategies to trigger irrigation were as follows: (Field Capacity‐VRI, Driest Soil Trigger‐VRI, Water Mining‐VRI, Conventional Uniform ...

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 ...

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 ...

Clogging Analysis in Drip Irrigation Systems: CFD and DEM Approaches
Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1395-1409, October 2025.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 ...

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 1010-1017, July 2025.Abstract Tunisia is characterized by water scarcity, growing water demand and considerable waste of this resource especially in the agricultural sector. To cope with this situation and enhance water productivity, appropriate utilization of advanced irrigation methods such as drip irrigation is highly needed.

A new method of estimating infiltration parameters for furrow irrigation
Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 658-672, April 2025.Abstract In this study, we present new two‐point and one‐point methods for estimating infiltration parameters in furrow irrigation. It is assumed that infiltration and waterfront advance along the furrow follow the Valiantzas two‐parameter infiltration and power advance equations, respectively.

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 834-860, April 2025.Abstract Climate and catchment characteristics, particularly land and water use and management, may vary according to the population growth rate, future food habits and water demands. Three climate simulations corresponding to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (A1B) were downscaled using the ‘Providing
