"Irrigation engineering is a branch of engineering which aims to delve into the agricultural development. Irrigation is the process of watering agricultural land and crops in order to enhance the growth of the crop. A hydraulic structure is structure submerged or partially submerged in any body of water, which disrupts the natural flow or water. The text irrigation engineering & hydraulic structures discusses various types of irrigation techniques. First chapter discusses on soil salinity control in irrigated land with agricultural drainage systems. Key irrigation technologies and substrate choice for soilless potted flowers in greenhouses have been focused in second chapter. Third chapter presents a review of the current status of the irrigation practices in the delta region of Mississippi. A spatial analysis of irrigation technology has been introduced in fourth chapter. In fifth chapter, we discuss on assessment of irrigation water quality and selected soil parameters. Sixth chapters present a model develop to correlate factors and relationships between soil-plant wastewater. Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of fractal-textured soil has been discussed in seven chapter. The quality of the soil from soil physical-hydraulic indicators has been discussed in eight chapter. Ninth chapter explores how changes in hydraulic conductivity may affect modeled rates of water flow through forested watersheds, with flow referring to infiltration, percolation, run-off, interflow, base flow, and stream discharge. The aim of tenth chapter is to present the up to date knowledge about the changes in woody plant hydraulics in response to water stress. Eleventh chapter discusses on on calibration of a new device to measure water content of rocks. Data assimilation application to the subsurface flow and solute transport has been introduced in twelfth chapter. The objective of thirteen chapter is to investigate main soil physical and chemical properties that affect the irrigation water amount and to suggest irrigation strategies for sandy soil. Fourteen chapter discusses how to improve water-efficient irrigation. The application of a remote sensing method for estimating monthly blue water evapotranspiration in irrigated agriculture has been focused in fifteenth chapter. Last chapter discusses on remote sensing for determining evapotranspiration and irrigation demand for annual crops."--Back cover
