Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2024 in the subject Agrarian Studies, , language: English, abstract: This book on drip and sprinkler irrigation system design evaluates the latest available books and research in the field and presents them in a concise and clear manner that can be useful as a reference for graduate and undergraduate students, including practicing engineers. The reference book contains up-to-date data and information on the design of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems. The book is divided into two parts; the first part deals with the basics of sprinkler irrigation and goes deeper into the design part by mostly using the Keller and Bliesner book, and the second part details all about drip irrigation system right from the components and types to the design detail. Agriculture originated when the communities began adding food growing to hunting and foraging, in the Neolithic era, 8,000 – 10,000 years ago. In the beginning of this process agriculture was based on rainfall and uncontrolled river floods. Irrigation as an activity, started to develop in places where natural water resources, mainly rains, were insufficient to support the current population. This, in fact, was one of the main reasons for the appearance of central authorities involved in water production and control.

The book Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation is intended as a text book of micro irrigation design and practices for the students of the agricultural sciences and the professionals and workers in the field of micro irrigation. The book discusses the type and components, hydraulics and design, installation and maintenance of micro irrigation system. It contains good number of numerical as example and task to get the students familiar to the requirements, complicacies, and possible remedies in actual working condition. In addition to conventional broad and short questions in every of the book there are multiple choice questions to assist the students in preparing the competitive examinations.

Closed circuit trickle irrigation is a form of micro irrigation that increases energy and water efficiency by using closed circuit drip irrigation systems designs. Modifications are made to traditional micro irrigation methods to reduce some of the problems and constraints, such as low compressor water at the end of irrigation lines. This approach

Landscape Irrigation Design provides information and approaches to assist the successful irrigation designer. Beginning with basic concepts, the text discusses the soil, plants, water and their interactions, sprinkler selection and spacing, water supply and distribution, controllers, electrical wiring, pumps and pump selection, and drip irrigation and ends with completed irrigation designs. Although the focus is on residential irrigation design, larger designs such as golf courses are also discussed. Careful presentation of a wealth of resource material allows this work to serve as both an introductory text as well as an independent learning aid and makes Landscape Irrigation Design a valuable reference for first and subsequent design projects.
