Sustainability of Irrigated Agriculture [E-Book] / edited by L. S. Pereira, R. A. Feddes, J. R. Gilley, B. Lesaffre.
Irrigated agriculture and the use of water resources in agriculture face the challenges of sustainable development. Research has advanced our knowledge of water use by crops, soil-water-solutes interactions, and the engineering and managerial tools needed to mobilize, convey, distribute, control and...
