This volume offers a detailed treatise on agricultural irrigation, including information on water quantities, sewage, reservoirs, and various methods of irrigation. A thorough text complete with useful tables and a wealth of helpful and practicable information, this antique volume will be a useful tool for modern farmers and others with an interest in irrigation. The chapters of this book include: 'Irrigation', 'Water may act as Manure', 'Amount of Water needed by Plants', 'Wilting', 'When do Plants Wilt?', 'Quantity of Rain that Falls', 'Amount of Water used in Irrigating', 'Ruin caused by the Destruction of Irrigation Works', 'Some Evils of Irrigation', 'Reservoir for Irrigation Water', etcetera. Many antique books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing 'Agricultural Irrigation' in an affordable modern edition for the edification of those interested.

Properly treated sewage effluent becomes an alternative source of irrigation water, and at the same time it provides a convenient means of sewage disposal through land treatment to prevent potential health and environmental hazards caused by uncontrolled flow of wastewater. The objective of this volume is to provide the reader with a comprehensive up-to-date overview of the principles and practices of irrigation with treated sewage effluent, including special reference to arid quality of the water (e.g. pathogenic organisms, salt, nutrients). The present volume describes the main components of effluent-soil-plant systems involved in the development of appropriate irrigation-fertilization-cropping management for optimizing crop production. Comprehensive information has been suggested on the following subjects: 1. source, treatment and properties of sewage effluent; 2. main processes of different effluent constituents on soil-plant systems; 3. irrigation-fertilization management; 4. irrigation systems for sewage effluent.

Scorned and ridiculed for his unusual appearance, a dog, half of which looks like a golden retriever and half a Scottie, begins a search for acceptance and a sense of self-worth.

This book offers a broad and global level description of the current status of wastewater use in agriculture and then brings the readers to various places in the MENA Region and Europe to explain how some countries and regions have addressed the challenges during implementation. On a global scale, over 20 million hectares of agricultural land are irrigated using wastewater. This is one good, and perhaps the most prominent, example of the safe use potential of wastewater. Water scarcity and the cost of energy and fertilisers are among the main factors driving millions of farmers and other entrepreneurs to make use of wastewater. In order to address the technical, institutional, and policy challenges of safe water reuse, developing countries and countries in transition need clear institutional arrangements and more skilled human resources, with a sound understanding of the opportunities and potential risks of wastewater use. Stakeholders in wastewater irrigation who need to implement from scratch or improve current conditions, find it difficult to gather the necessary information on practical implementation aspects. The main objective of this book is to bridge that gap.
