Climate change is viewed as the major threat to the security of water supplies in most parts
of the world in the coming decades, and the water resources literature continues to be …

Expanding populations, the impacts of climate change, availability of arable land, and
availability of water for irrigation collectively strain the agricultural system. To keep pace and …

The use of nitrogenous fertilizers in agriculture can cause uncontrolled gas emissions, such
as N2O and CO2, leading to global warming and serious climate change. In this study, we …

Purpose Freshwater availability is reducing globally, due to increasing demand with
population growth and climate change and is disproportionately impacting developing …

Drip irrigation has the potential to help farmers increase crop production with lower on-farm
water consumption than flood or sprinkler irrigation; yet, its high costs keep it out of reach for …

A promising way of addressing the issue of growing water scarcity is through wider use of
drip irrigation, which delivers water and fertilizer to crops in a slow, targeted manner, and …

Controlling fluid flow is a fundamental problem with applications from biomedicine to
environmental engineering. Contemporary solutions combine electromechanical sensors …

This study presents the design and validation of on-line pressure-compensating (PC) drip
irrigation emitters with a substantially lower minimum compensating inlet pressure (MCIP) …

BACKGROUND Although reclaimed wastewater drip irrigation (RWDI) is an effective
technology for alleviating agricultural crop water stress and protecting the environment, the …
