Irrigation Engineering By N N Basak

Irrigation Engineering involves the management of water applied to agricultural and other developed lands for the growth of crops and other vegetation. This includes the design, operation, and management of on-farm irrigation systems and irrigation water distribution canal, pipline, and pumping systems and their relationship to water resources quantity and quality. Current research areas include precision irrigation management, remote sensing, crop water use, irrigation system performance, water use optimization, interactions between irrigation and hydrologic systems, and water use of alternative crops.
