Synopsis

This book is an indispensable guide to the science of irrigation, a practice that dramatically improves agricultural output and combats drought conditions. Providing a comprehensive analysis of the many benefits of irrigation, the author demonstrates that, under all climates from the Northern plains to the Southern valleys, irrigation can double or even triple crop yields. The text also contains a fascinating historical perspective, tracing the development of irrigation techniques from ancient times to the present day. Ultimately, the author makes a compelling case for increasing the allocation of resources to irrigation projects as a means of mitigating the effects of drought and sustaining agricultural output.
