An analysis was made of the Precipitation Concentration Index using the new MOPREDAS
database of monthly precipitation in Spain (Monthly Precipitation Data base of Spain). The …

Recently, Computational Neural Networks (CNNs) and fuzzy inference systems have been
successfully applied to time series forecasting. In this study the performance of a hybrid …

In recent years, many modernization processes have been undertaken in irrigation districts
with the main objective to improve water use efficiency. In southern Spain, many irrigation …

A procedure for evaluating water and energy use in pressurized irrigation networks was
developed. Performance indicators were derived from the International Program for …

On-demand pressurised irrigation networks are analysed from the point of view of energy
requirements. The Fuente Palmera Irrigation District, Southern Spain, was analysed and …

Rational and efficient use of energy is essential for sustainable development. In Spain, as in
many other countries, electrical energy is the main source of energy in irrigation; therefore …

Irrigation systems significantly enhance agricultural productivity but are also substantial
consumers of water, energy, and natural resources. The need to optimize their design …

The world is currently undergoing water scarcity problems, even if it seems to be the most
abundant resource on earth. However, the freshwater account is really in small amounts …

This paper presents an analysis of precipitation changes in the main Hydrological Divisions
(HDs;'Cuencas Hidrográficas', Water Planning Divisions) in Spain from 1946–2005. Trend …

In this paper, a new methodology to obtain the optimal characteristic and efficiency curves
(Q–H and Q–η) at pumping stations is presented. The design flow, the design pressure …
