The book is designed to cover the major fields of agricultural and
environmental engineering such as weather, plant, soil, water, and basics of
on-farm water management. The book will be quite useful for the students of
agricultural engineering. Students of other related branches of engineering
sciences, and engineers working in the field and at research institutes will
also be benifited. The book may serve as a text book for the students and as a
practical hand-book for the practitioners and researchers in the field of
irrigation and on-farm water management. Utilization of the recent literature
in the area and citation of relevant journals / reports have added a special
value to this book. Considering the topics covered, engineers, scientists,
practitioners, and educators will find this book as a valuable resource.

        
This comprehensive and compact presentation of the book will serve as a
text book for undergraduate students in Agricultural Engineering, Biological
Systems Engineering, Bio-Science Engineering, Water Resource Engineering, and,
Civil & Environmental Engineering. It will also be helpful for the students
of relevant fields such as Agronomy, Biological Sciences, Meteorology, Ecology
and Hydrology. Although the target audience of the book is undergraduate
students, post-graduate students will also be benefited from the book. It will
also serve as a reference manual for field engineers, researchers and extension
workers working in the above mentioned fields.

         
Water is the scarcest resource. Importance of judicious use of water in
agricultural sector for sustaining agricultural growth and to retard
environmental degradation needs no elaboration. Judicious use of water for crop
production requires knowledge of weather, soil, crop, water quality, and
drainage situation. Increasing efficiency in conveyance and pumping systems also
are of great concerns. Irrigation management strategy practiced in normal soils
may not appropriate in problematic soils such as saline soils and drought prone
areas. It is also utmost important to pay attention to the economics in
production system and all aspects of supply & demand management of water.
This book covers all of the above aspects. In addition, the book covers some
recent dimensions such as pollution from agricultural fields, modeling in
irrigation & water management, and application of geographical information
system (GIS) in irrigation & water management.
