A practical, beginner‑friendly manual that explains how water works in soil, crops, and irrigation systems. It presents irrigation as a supplement to rainfall and shows how to conserve moisture for better, more reliable yields.

The book covers the science and the hands‑on skills you need, from understanding soil moisture and water storage to choosing irrigation methods and timing. It blends accessible explanations with practical guidance drawn from field study, experiments, and existing irrigation literature. Readers will gain a clear view of how water moves in soils, how plants use that water, and how to apply irrigation to fit both arid and humid climates.

How soils hold, move, and release water, and what that means for irrigation planning.

Methods of irrigation (such as furrow, border, basin, and subsurface) and when to use them.

How timing and distribution affect crop development, yields, and quality.

How rainfall interacts with irrigation to maximize efficiency and crop value.

Ideal for farmers, students, and professionals seeking a grounded, results‑oriented understanding of irrigation practice.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the crucial role of water in agriculture, particularly in regions with limited rainfall. The author delves into the science behind how water interacts with soil, examining the different forms of soil moisture and their impact on plant growth. The book goes beyond simply describing the mechanics of irrigation and explores the historical context of this practice, highlighting how irrigation has been essential in reclaiming arid lands and sustaining agriculture throughout history. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles of water conservation and how to apply irrigation effectively to maximize crop yields and create a sustainable agricultural system. This book goes beyond providing a technical manual for engineers and offers practical guidance for farmers, particularly those new to irrigation, who seek to master the art of water management. The book ultimately argues that the success of irrigation rests on a thorough comprehension of the natural laws that govern water and plant growth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330873120_0
