Irrigation Engineering

A comprehensive manual on irrigation engineering, with a primary focus on the agricultural landscape of India. The text details various water application methods, ranging from traditional surface flooding and basins to modern, water-efficient sprinkler and drip systems. It explores the technical estimation of water demand, defining critical concepts such as duty, delta, and evapotranspiration to ensure optimal crop growth. Beyond engineering principles, the sources review the history and management of irrigation projects, including the National Water Policy and the Command Area Development Programme. The material also addresses the environmental challenges of modern farming, such as groundwater depletion and soil degradation, while highlighting the need for sustainable water management to support a growing population.
