Future Directions on World Bank Irrigation Projects in India
Irrigation development in India is proceeding at a record rate and will continue for several decades. Experience, however, is showing that future directions must entail substantive emphasis...
Steady State Fluid Transport Model for Plants
Knowledge of water potentials throughout the xylem and phloem elements as well as in individual cells is fundamental for understanding effects of water and temperature stress on transport...
Evaluation of Methods to Determine Peak Period Irrigation Water Requirements
Methods for estimating the peak period irrigation water requirement were evaluated as a component of the review of irrigation facility sizing criteria conducted for the Engineering and...
Review of the Lake Andes-Wagner Project Sizing
Benefit-cost analyses of the proposed U. S. Bureau of Reclamation Lake Andes-Wagner Project have shown the project to be marginally feasible. In an effort to improve the benefit-cost ratio,...
Investigation of Main Supply Canal and Lateral Fluctuations
The Imperial Irrigation District and the U. S. Water Conservation Laboratory of Phoenix, Arizona are conducting a joint project to study the causes and effects of water level fluctuations...
Prognostics of Water Management in Agriculture
This paper discusses principles of methodology and application of agricultural water management prognostics. Included are irrigation and drainage prognostics in Hungary and concrete economic...
Water Supply Forecasting and Irrigation Demand
The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Snow Survey Program makes periodic seasonal streamflow forecasts at over 500 major points in the western states. These forecasts are the basis for making...
An Integrated Rehabilitation Procedure for Gravity Systems
Demands for an improved system combined with a more adjusted management mode are common in many projects where limited or strained budgets do not allow for a regular and secure water supply....
Water Resources Planning Information Available from CFS
Public officials, natural resource management agencies, research scientists, reservoir operators, and agricultural interests in the western U. S. now have access to several major automated...
Physical Model Verification of a Coastal Discharge
A 1:75 scale physical model of a thermal discharge into a rocky, semi-enclosed bay was verified against extensive field data. The model accurately reproduced the prototype temperature...
Lights Out at Caribou
The Caribou powerplant restoration is one of the projects to receive an Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award of Merit. On February 24, 1984 a rock slide on the ridge above the...
Overview of the Guidelines for T/L Structure Loadings
