Modelling Current and Future Pan-European Irrigation Water Demands and Their Impact on Water Resources

Seberang Perai rice Scheme irrigation Water Quality aSSeSSment

Rivers are the main sources of water for agricultural purposes in Malaysia. The Seberang Perai Rice Irrigation Scheme in the state of Penang is one of the eight main rice growing areas in Malaysia. The scheme consists of five (5) sub-schemes and irrigation water for each sub-scheme are supplied from either the Muda river, Jarak river, Kulim river or the Kerian river with pumping or gravity inta...

Study on Water Resources Optimal Allocation of Irrigation District and Irrigation Decision Support System

This paper develops the system of optimal allocation of water resources in irrigation district and irrigation decision support which integrates technologies of decision support, information management, information search and so on. It has the multi-function of water production function calculation, crop water requirement calculation, water resources optimal allocation and realtime amending the ...

Modelling the long-term effect of irrigation with gypsiferous water on soil and water resources

The use of gypsiferous mine water for irrigation of agricultural crops is a promising technology that could solve problems related to both shortage of irrigation water and disposal of effluent mine drainage. The long-term effect of irrigation with lime-treated acid mine drainage on soil properties and catchment salt load was investigated. The soil water–salt balance-crop growth model (SWB) and ...

Crop Water Use Responses of Upland Rice to Differential Water Distribution under Sprinkler Irrigation System

A two-year dry season experiment was conducted at the research farm of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, IITA Ibadan, Nigeria to estimate irrigation water requirements and establish crop water use. Two upland rice varieties (NERICA 2 and NERICA 4) were planted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Four treatments based on different water distribution levels were adopt...
