Summary: “Agricultural hydrology is the study of water balance components intervening in agricultural water management, especially in irrigation and drainage. Soil and water are fundamental to crop cultivation and the conservation of natural resources. Agriculture is strongly affected by changes in soil hydrology as well as by changes in land use and management practices and the complex interactions between them. All soil hydrologic processes occur within soil pore space. This book provides a comprehensive account of soil hydrology with emphasis on field applications for students and research workers engaged in water resources studies, and soil and plant sciences. The book enables readers to delve into the literature and expand their knowledge and understanding of agriculture which is strongly affected by changes in soil hydrology as well as changes in land use and management practices and the complex interactions between them.”--Back cover
