商品描述

This textbook is a comprehensive volume on sprinklers and drip irrigation and covers all the basic and fundamentals concepts related to these topics. It is the first book to consider relative-flow-ratio as an evaluation criterion for both sprinkler and drip irrigation designs. It also discusses various types of sprinklers (used for irrigation), their complex layouts, design methodologies, selection criteria explained with practical examples, and their operations and maintenance under different conditions. In addition to operation and maintenance of drip irrigation components, the book also explains the drip irrigation hydraulics and various design aspects and the effect of the same on their performance. It also has one important chapter on Rhizosphere modelling which introduces the state-of-the-art technologies in optimal irrigation and fertigation scheduling. Worked out examples and solved problems in the chapters would aid to learning and understanding of the topic among the students. Given the contents, the book will be extremely useful for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of agriculture engineering, irrigation engineering and civil engineering. This textbook will also be useful for researchers, engineers and professionals working in these areas.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書是關於噴灌和滴灌的綜合性著作,涵蓋了與這些主題相關的所有基本概念和基礎知識。它是第一本將相對流量比作為噴灌和滴灌設計評估標準的書籍。書中還討論了各種噴灌設備(用於灌溉)、其複雜的佈局、設計方法、選擇標準,並以實際範例進行說明,以及在不同條件下的操作和維護。除了滴灌組件的操作和維護外,書中還解釋了滴灌的水力學及其各種設計方面,以及這些因素對性能的影響。此外,書中還有一章重要的根圈建模,介紹了最佳灌溉和施肥排程的尖端技術。各章中的實例和解題將有助於學生對該主題的學習和理解。考慮到內容,這本書對於農業工程、灌溉工程和土木工程的本科生和研究生將非常有用。這本教科書對於在這些領域工作的研究人員、工程師和專業人士也將有所幫助。
