Sinopsis
A practical, beginner‑friendly manual that explains how water works in soil, crops, and irrigation systems. It presents irrigation as a supplement to rainfall and shows how to conserve moisture for better, more reliable yields.
The book covers the science and the hands‑on skills you need, from understanding soil moisture and water storage to choosing irrigation methods and timing. It blends accessible explanations with practical guidance drawn from field study, experiments, and existing irrigation literature. Readers will gain a clear view of how water moves in soils, how plants use that water, and how to apply irrigation to fit both arid and humid climates.
- How soils hold, move, and release water, and what that means for irrigation planning.
- Methods of irrigation (such as furrow, border, basin, and subsurface) and when to use them.
- How timing and distribution affect crop development, yields, and quality.
- How rainfall interacts with irrigation to maximize efficiency and crop value.
Ideal for farmers, students, and professionals seeking a grounded, results‑oriented understanding of irrigation practice.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Principles of Irrigation Practice
Irrigation and dry-farming are rapidly conquering drought. By these twin arts, bountiful and regular harvests may be gathered in the humid regions during the periodic dry seasons; and in the arid regions, the great deserts may be converted into most fruitful fields. Irrigation has a splendid record of success from the begin ning of history; dry-farming has only in recent days extended its conquests into the more arid regions; both have become more powerful in conquering drought as modern science has been applied to them.
