Water Balance Of Flooded Rice In The Tropics, Siva Sivapalan May 2015

Water Balance Of Flooded Rice In The Tropics, Siva Sivapalan

Books & book chapters

Department of Agriculture and Food, WA staff member authored "Water Balance of Flooded Rice in the Tropics" in the publication Irrigation and Drainage - Sustainable Strategies and Systems’, edited by Muhammad Salik Javaid, published by INTECH, May 2015

Chapter Summary: Excess groundwater recharge rates under irrigated agriculture may lead to problems such as rising watertable, waterlogging and salinity. In irrigated areas, growers may need to manage this water and hence, understanding what leakage is attributed to what crops will become more important. In this study, evaporation, transpiration, and deep percolation losses were estimated for ponded rice culture, using a …

Texas Water Technology Roadmap Forum, Rudolph A. Rosen Jan 2015

Texas Water Technology Roadmap Forum, Rudolph A. Rosen

Water Resources Science and Technology Book and E-Book Publications and Reports

In December 2014 the Texas Water Technology Roadmap Forum set out to define the most pressing water-related technology deficiencies for which there may be applicable intellectual property (IP) or researched solutions. This would serve as an initial “target list” for IP mapping and subsequent application of available, but unused or underused research in a range of water technology areas.Key thought leaders in the water sector from throughout Texas were brought together to help lay that groundwork. A network of 12 Texas university and independent research institutes funded by the National Science Foundation, called RCN-CE3SAR, served as an unbiased independent facilitator …
