Solar Energy and Emerging Technologies in Micro Irrigation

Solar Energy and Emerging Technologies in Micro Irrigation discusses the emergence of certain technologies in the field of micro irrigation.

It further comprises a framework for the assessment of sustainability of irrigated agricultural system and the application of solar water pump technology amongst the rural farmers.

This book also discusses about a comprehensive sizing methodology for stand-alone battery-less photovoltaic water pumping system under the Egyptian climate, feasibility of solar pump for sustainable irrigation in Bangladesh, a hybrid pv/utility powered irrigation water pumping system for rural agricultural areas, performance evaluation of gypsum block wireless sensor network system for real time irrigation scheduling, assessing the economic impact of a low-cost water-saving irrigation technology in Indian Punjab, comparison of traditional and modern deficit irrigation techniques in corn cultivation using treated municipal wastewater, comparative effects of saline water on yield and quality of potato under drip and furrow irrigation, effects of deficit irrigation on yield, water productivity and economic return of sunflower and optimum irrigation water allocation and crop distribution using combined pareto multi-objective differential evolution.
