A water-efficient landscape begins with a plan. If you are familiar with the principles of landscape design, you might want
to draw your own plan. Another option is to hire a professional to help with this critical step. In any
event, think about who will use your landscape (adults, children,...
Foodborne outbreaks involving fresh produce have been on the rise since the late 1990's. Pathogens such as Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli are prevalent in agricultural environments and commonly travel between farms via irrigation water. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has placed an increased emphasis on microbiological standards of...
The Periyar-Vaigai project is one of the important water
resource developments in South India, designed and constructed in
part during the last decade of the nineteenth century, to accelerate
the growth of the economy of Madras state. A noteworthy feature
of this project is that the waters of the westward...
Estimations of plant water use can provide great assistance to growers, irrigators,
engineers and water resource planners. This is especially true concerning the introduction
of a new crop into irrigated agriculture. Growing hybrid poplar trees for wood chip stock
and veneer production under agronomic practices is currently being explored as...
This study was prompted by the need for improving the efficiency of irrigation systems at the Oregon South coastal areas. Accurate information about evapotranspiration (ET) rates is essential for maximizing the efficiency of irrigation systems. Currently, ET estimates provided by Bureau of Reclamation AgriMet Program are derived from the Kimberly...
In order to understand the economics of the 2001 irrigation curtailment in the Upper Klamath Basin, and the prospects for lower-cost solutions
to future irrigation shortfalls, one must appreciate just how much the economic value of irrigation water varies from one piece of land to
another throughout the Upper Basin....
The middle Deschutes River between Bend, Oregon and Lake Billy Chinook typically experiences critically low flows during the irrigation season. Commercial agriculture in the North Unit Irrigation District and Central Oregon Irrigation District is one major user of Deschutes River water. The overall objective of this research was to estimate...
