Irrigation and Drainage

Irrigation and Drainage is designed to serve as a complete yet highly practical guide across this spectrum. It explains fundamental concepts, compares methods with clear criteria, and provides structured steps for planning, design, operation, and improvement. Readers will find field-ready checklists, design heuristics, performance indicators, troubleshooting cues, and decision frameworks for both water application and water removal. The book balances conceptual clarity with implementation guidance so that students can build strong foundations and practitioners can make immediate use of the material in real projects, from smallholder fields to large command areas.
