Sentences with phrase «irrigation efficiency»

For suburban offices, there has been high attention to improving irrigation efficiency with approaches such as drip irrigation, weather - based smart irrigation control, and drought - tolerant landscaping.

Thus, raising irrigation efficiency is central to raising water productivity overall.

Among the new technologies for increasing irrigation efficiency is the use of soil moisture sensors for automated irrigation.

Data on water irrigation efficiency for surface water projects — that is, dams that deliver water to farmers through a network of canals — show that crop usage of irrigation water never reaches 100 percent simply because some irrigation water evaporates, some percolates downward, and some runs off.

«Turfgrass research focuses on irrigation efficiency, drought tolerance.»

The On - Farm Irrigation Efficiency Program is aimed at assisting irrigators within the southern connected system of the Murray - Darling Basin to modernise their on - farm irrigation infrastructure while returning water savings to the environment

Pursuing sustainable irrigation without significant irrigation efficiency gains could negatively impact environmental and development goals in many areas of the world, a new study has found.

For the study, the researchers gathered a long - term data set of residential lawn - watering frequency and lawn - watering behaviors, determined the scale of weekly lawn - watering frequency with water restrictions alone, and tested to determine if adding the weather - based conservation strategy could improve lawn irrigation efficiency and water savings over water restrictions alone.

«A working knowledge of capture factor (CF) is crucial for determining irrigation requirements to maximize sprinkler irrigation efficiency in container nurseries.»

The practice allows nursery personnel to schedule plant irrigation when substrate volumetric water content drops below a certain threshold, thus improving irrigation efficiency by applying water only when needed.

Water policy analysts Sandra Postel and Amy Vickers found that «surface water irrigation efficiency ranges between 25 and 40 percent in India, Mexico, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Thailand; between 40 and 45 percent in Malaysia and Morocco; and between 50 and 60 percent in Israel, Japan, and Taiwan.»

In a May 2004 meeting, China's Minister of Water Resources Wang Shucheng outlined for me in some detail the plans to raise China's irrigation efficiency from 43 percent in 2000 to 51 percent in 2010 and then to 55 percent in 2030.

The search has spanned the gamut from funding research, investing in expensive solutions like desalination plants, toying with the idea of recycling wastewater, imposing water - use restrictions, letting lawns go dry and experimenting with irrigation efficiency techniques for the crops that feed the country.

Researchers in the New Mexico State University College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences are determining methods to improve irrigation efficiency.

Irrigation efficiency could also be improved in irrigated agricultural basins.

New Mexico State University Extension Turfgrass Specialist Bernd Leinauer and his team are conducting an irrigation efficiency study at the City of Albuquerque's Paradise Meadows Park.

In addition to irrigation efficiency, NMSU research also focuses on salt and drought tolerance.

Seeking a long - term solution, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council announced on 29 January the massive investment, which aims to achieve sustainable water use by controlling total water consumption, improving irrigation efficiency, and restricting groundwater pumping, among other measures.

Turfgrass researchers in the New Mexico State University College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences are focusing on drought tolerance and irrigation efficiency.

Raising irrigation efficiency typically means shifting from the less efficient flood or furrow systems to overhead sprinklers or drip irrigation, the gold standard of irrigation efficiency.

Further reduce turf, improve irrigation efficiency, and transition to drought tolerant landscape

The options in the menu include: (1) improving crop security through agronomical management; (2) improving irrigation efficiency; (3) rainwater harvesting; (4) crop diversification and intensification; (5) promotion of alternative entreprise; and (6) improving access to credit.
