Synopsis

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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the crucial role of water in agriculture, particularly in regions with limited rainfall. The author delves into the science behind how water interacts with soil, examining the different forms of soil moisture and their impact on plant growth. The book goes beyond simply describing the mechanics of irrigation and explores the historical context of this practice, highlighting how irrigation has been essential in reclaiming arid lands and sustaining agriculture throughout history. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles of water conservation and how to apply irrigation effectively to maximize crop yields and create a sustainable agricultural system. This book goes beyond providing a technical manual for engineers and offers practical guidance for farmers, particularly those new to irrigation, who seek to master the art of water management. The book ultimately argues that the success of irrigation rests on a thorough comprehension of the natural laws that govern water and plant growth.
