Discover practical guidance from Irrigation Practice and Engineering, a technical reference on how water moves from source to crop. Learn how lifting water to higher elevations affects costs and profitability in different crops and regions, with practical thresholds to consider before pumping becomes uneconomical.
The book outlines core irrigation methods used in the field, including wild flooding, border flooding, check flooding, basin and furrow systems, and pipe-based installations. It also covers land preparation, leveling, and the equipment that supports efficient water use, from pumps to ditches and headworks. Real-world figures illustrate how head height, plant type, and fuel costs influence decisions in farming districts.
- Economic factors in pumping: when lifting water is profitable and when costs outweigh benefits
- How different irrigation methods shape water distribution, efficiency, and field results
- Guidance on land preparation, leveling, and the layout of ditches and pipes
- Practical references to equipment and installation for small pumping plants and pumps
Ideal for readers of irrigation engineering, agricultural engineering students, and practitioners seeking practical, field-ready methods.
