Research  has advanced our knowledge of water use by crops,  soil-water-solutes interactions, and the engineering and  managerial tools needed to mobilize, convey, distribute, control and  apply water for agricultural production. However, the achievements  booked in user practice have revealed the need for new developments in  the areas of resource conservation, control of environmental and  health impacts, modernisation of technologies and management, economic  viability and the social acceptance of changes. \u003cbr\u003e  The contributions to \u003cem\u003eSustainability of Irrigated Agriculture\u003c\/em\u003e  cover most of the relevant disciplines. Besides its  multidisciplinarity, the different origins, experience, backgrounds  and practices of the authors provide a wide, in-depth analysis of the  various aspects of water resource utilization in agriculture. The  papers review scientific, technical and managerial aspects,  highlighting the main problems, issues and future developments. The  book covers the different aspects of sustainability, including  environmental, technical, economic, institutional and social ones.  Advances in irrigation science and engineering are dealt with, both  on- and off-farm. Special attention is paid to the different  components of water quality management, to the transfer of technology,  and to capacity building.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048146758\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8700-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 631\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343401513100,"sku":"9789048146758","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048146758.jpg?v=1771511691","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048146758","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
