India is among the countries that uses a significant fraction of available water for irrigation. Irrigated area in India has increased substantially after the Green revolution and both surface and groundwater have been extensively used. Under warming climate projections, irrigation frequency may increase leading to increased irrigation water demands. Water resources planning and management in a...

There are pressing concerns about the interplay between agricultural productivity, water demand, and water availability in semi-arid to arid regions of the world. Currently, irrigated agriculture is the dominant water user in these regions and is estimated to consume approximately 80% of the world’s diverted freshwater resources. We develop an improved irrigated land-use mapping algorithm that ...

Background To date, preclinical studies evaluating MRI-guided ablation have used non-irrigated catheters limited to test lesions in the right heart. Modern complex EP procedures require externally irrigated catheters to produce adequate lesion depth. We present the first feasibility study of an externally-irrigated MRI-compatible ablation catheter, and integrated EP pacing and recording system....

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent flutter can be performed using different types of ablation catheters. It has been proposed that irrigated and large-tip catheters are capable of creating larger lesions, resulting in greater efficacy. This prospective, randomised clinical study compared the efficacy of irrigated and large-tip catheters of different...

PURPOSE: The following report provides a preliminary review of the recent scientific literature pertaining to the ecology and management of irrigation induced and enhanced wetlands. The report is designed to provide insight into the complexity of identifying irrigated wetlands for jurisdictional purposes, outline the current state-of-the-science regarding irrigated wetlands, and provide basic g...

Influences of irrigation frequency on the growth and flowering of chrysanthemum grown under restricted root volume were tested. Chrysanthemum cuttings (Chrysanthemum morifolium "Reagan White") were grown in seedling tray which contained coconut peat in volumes of 73 and 140 cm(3). Plants were irrigated with drip irrigation at irrigation frequencies of 4 (266 mL), 6 (400 mL), and 8 (533 mL) time...
