Abstract: An attempt has been made on modeling evaporative water loss from the on-farm reservoir (OFR) with biological shading in rainfed upland areas. Biological shading over the water surface of a lined OFR has been developed by ...

Abstract: The present study used fifteen existing evaporation models that use flux gradient, energy balance, and mass transfer approaches to estimate the rate of evaporation from a regular-sized open on-farm reservoir (OFR). Statistical ...

Abstract: The canal command of the Hirakud multipurpose major irrigation project of Orissa in eastern India is under severe threat of waterlogging in the monsoon season and acute shortage of irrigation water in the nonmonsoon season. ...

Abstract: The continuous increase in global population and simultaneous decrease in good-quality water resources emphasize the need of conjunctive use of groundwater and surface-water resources for irrigation. The optimal allocation ...
