Innovations and Challenges in Micro Irrigation


About the Series

Micro irrigation is one of best management practices and can contribute to save our planet from water scarcity. The objective of the volumes under this book series is to offer academia/engineers/technologists/users from different disciplines information to gain knowledge on the breadth and depth of this multifaceted field. The field of micro irrigation is interdisciplinary, as it requires knowledge of biologists, physicists, agricultural scientists and engineers. There is urgent need to explore and investigate the current shortcomings and challenges of micro irrigation. The volumes, in short, will explore and convey the key concepts on innovations and challenges in micro irrigation. Topics to be covered include:


1. Cost–benefit of crop production
2. Fertigation technology
3. Clogging in surface and subsurface drip irrigation systems
4. Design of drip irrigation systems
5. Dimensional analysis and similitude applications
6. Comparison among drip irrigation and other irrigation systems
7. Estimation of crop water needs under drip irrigation
8. Drip irrigation applications and practices in: landscape, urban agriculture, green houses, forestry, agricultural crops, salinity management, etc. 
9. Computer simulation and theoretical approaches in drip irrigation
10. Hydraulics of different components of drip irrigation
11. Current status or review of specialized topics in drip irrigation
12. Academia to industry to end user loop in drip irrigation
13. Economics of drip irrigation systems, demand/market for drip irrigation systems, etc.
