Abstract: A simple and accurate method is developed for designing single, paired, and tapered microirrigation laterals. The hydraulics of the lateral is evaluated using a lateral discharge equation approach. A simple power equation ...

Abstract: A linearized form of the Boussinesq equation was solved analytically to predict the water table fluctuation in subsurface drained farmland in the presence of recharge and evapotranspiration (ET). The recharge was assumed ...

Abstract: An optimal design method for a drip submain manifold is presented. The optimal design is based on the shortest route algorithm for acyclic networks. Different route lengths are represented by total annual costs of different ...

Abstract: At present, various methods are available to analyze storm runoff data. Among these, application of the Z-transform is comparatively new, and the technique has been used to identify rainfall from analysis of a single-storm ...

Abstract: An artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machines (SVMs) were employed for estimating the removal efficiency of settling basins in canals. The performance of ANN and SVMs was tested using the data from an ...

Abstract: In this study, we have attempted to enhance the utility of soil–plant–atmosphere–water (SPAW) model that has been used successfully by various workers in different countries for soil moisture prediction under different ...
