Providing the population with clean drinking water and agricultural water, which provides humanity food, has become one of main problems around world. In Republic Uzbekistan, as well in other countries world, shortage is growing every year. The article states that factors for mitigating shortages agriculture introduction water-saving technologies. Among technologies, most effective system drip ...

BACKGROUND The main objective of this study was characterization of selected heavy metals concentrations (Lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, nickel and chromium) in groundwater used for ir-rigation in Tabriz City's countryside. METHODS After consulting with the experts of agriculture department and site survey, 38 irriga-tion water samples were taken from different farms (34 wells) without primary ...

Owing to the difference of soil water in the farm, a system of variable rate irrigation was developed with Visual C++ and MapObjects that can save water as well as can improve economy benefit. Soil water content can be forecasted by using the forecast model of soil water, according to the real soil water content of different sampling sites in this system. Irrigation or not can be decided by com...

Using a system dynamics approach, an integrated water resources system model is developed for scenario analysis of the Saskatchewan portion of the transboundary Saskatchewan River Basin in western Canada. The water resources component is constructed by emulating an existing Water Resources Management Model. Enhancements include an irrigation sub-model to estimate dynamic irrigation demand, incl...

Across Bangladesh, dry-season irrigation with arsenic-contaminated well water is loading arsenic onto rice paddies, leading to increased arsenic concentrations in plants, diminished crop yields, and increased human health risks. As irrigation water flows through conveyance channels between wells and rice fields, arsenic concentrations change over space and time, indicating that channels may pro...
