On‐Farm Demonstration and Economic Evaluation of an IoT Sensing System for Irrigation Management in South Carolina

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation can strongly influence agricultural productivity and sustainability. While sensor‐based irrigation has the potential to improve yield, reduce input costs and enhance resource‐use efficiency, its adoption in commercial agriculture remains limited.

Evaluating Water–Energy–Food Nexus Strategies to Address Resource Scarcity in the Crocodile River Catchment, South Africa

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The water–energy–food (WEF) nexus approach highlights the interdependence of water, energy and food resources, all of which play central roles in agriculture, especially irrigation. A WEF nexus lens was applied to Mpumalanga's Crocodile River catchment, a vital irrigation area that significantly contributes to South Africa's staple food ...

Remote Sensing for Irrigation Water Management—The State of the Art and Prospects for Near‐Future Operations

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...

Enhancing Reliable Irrigation–Water Supply in Poverty‐Ridden and Drought‐Prone Areas: Pre‐2017 Baseline Evidence From the Tawona Irrigation Scheme, Zimbabwe

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates farmers' willingness to pay for a reliable irrigation water supply in Zimbabwe's Tawona irrigation scheme, where intermittent water supply caused by funding shortages threatens irrigation sustainability. Using contingent valuation and logit regression analysis, data were collected from 313 farmers during the 2016/2017 ...

Influence of Drain and Operational Parameters on Backwash Cleaning Efficiency in a Commercial Sand Filter Model

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some studies have demonstrated the influence of the drainage system design on the hydraulic behaviour and on the expansion of the filter bed during the backwashing process, with a presumed effect on removal efficiency. The objective was to evaluate the influence of the drainage system design of a commercial sand filter model, the operating ...

Transforming Agricultural Water Management for Healthy People and Planet: Thinking Beyond Water

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops the concept of Thinking Beyond Water, a transdisciplinary paradigm that reframes agricultural water management (AWM) as a systems catalyst for planetary health, equity, justice and resilience. Moving beyond conventional irrigation‐centric models, we reimagine AWM through integrative frameworks such as the planetary ...
