Several studies have shown that irrigation is essential for global agricultural development.
However, water is a limited resource and should be used as efficiently as possible, which …

The pressure of the water supply is controlled to a negative value relying on soil matric
suction and is called negative‐pressure irrigation (NPI), a subsurface irrigation method used …

Emitter discharge is one of the most important parameters considered in the design,
operation, and management of subsurface irrigation systems. The emitter discharge, if …

Highlights•Ceramic patch type subsurface drip irrigation line was developed.•Discharge

The simple clay-pot refrigerator is ideally suited for preserving vegetarian foods in hot and
dry climates. The refrigerator works on the evaporative cooling principle. In this paper …

One problem associated with subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is the reduction in discharge
resulting from soil-water back-pressure at the emitter outlets. An experimental setup was …

In this paper, steady-state performance of a clay-pot refrigerator which works on the
evaporative cooling principle, is analysed using Reynolds Flow Model of convective …

Soil texture is an important physical soil property that may contribute to variations in many
soil functions as well as nutrient storage and availability, water retention, and soil erosion …

A clear statement in these lines textually cited (Byers et al., 1938) defines the framework of
this special issue:“True soil is the product of the action of climate and living organism upon …

For drip irrigation design and management, it is necessary to know the relation between flow
and pressure acting on emitters. In the case of subsurface drip irrigation, the backpressure …
