Development of National Life Cycle Inventory Database on Irrigation Water by Agricultural Dam

Deficit irrigation for reducing agricultural water use.

At present and more so in the future, irrigated agriculture will take place under water scarcity. Insufficient water supply for irrigation will be the norm rather than the exception, and irrigation management will shift from emphasizing production per unit area towards maximizing the production per unit of water consumed, the water productivity. To cope with scarce supplies, deficit irrigation,...

Developing a Water Quality Index (WQI) for an Irrigation Dam

Pollution levels have been increasing in water ecosystems worldwide. A water quality index (WQI) is an available tool to approximate the quality of water and facilitate the work of decision-makers by grouping and analyzing numerous parameters with a single numerical classification system. The objective of this study was to develop a WQI for a dam used for irrigation of about 5000 ha of agricult...

effect of oral presentation on development of l2 learners grammar

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...

Agricultural data for Life Cycle Assessments

On a world scale, a net transport of P to the oceans occurs, maintained by weathering of minerals and by erosion. The soil plays a different role regarding phosphorus in different agricultural systems. Without adding fertilisers, a soil can supply P for a limited time, by weathering or by mineralisation of indigenous organic matter. When a higher productivity is aimed at, fertilisers have to be...
