However, with the increasing human population, it is facing competition for the scarce water resources from domestic and industrial users. This has led to the promotion of irrigating methods, particularly the drip system, that are considered to be more water and labor efficient [10]. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Performance Evaluation of Micro Irrigation Management: Principles and Practices, v.3: Innovations and Challenges in Micro Irrigation, p. 129-150 | Publisher: | Apple Academic Press Inc | Place of Publication: | Waretown, United States of America | ISBN: | 9781771883214 9781771883207 |
