The aim of this research was to examine the feasibility and advantages of irrigating barley with fish farm drainage water (DWFF) rather than fresh irrigation water (IW). Four degrees of deficit irrigation [100% FI (full irrigation), 80% FI, 60% FI and 40% FI] were studied for the irrigation of barley via two types of water (DWFF and IW). The response of crops to a deficit irrigation approach involving the use of IW in the two seasons of 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 was demonstrated by the results. The yield of the barley produced with DWFF irrigation was greater than that produced with IW irrigation, ranging from 9% to 12% in 2020–2021 and from 9% to 13% in 2021–2022. This resulted from the higher concentration of dissolved biological nitrogen and other nutrients in DWFFs. There was a strong correlation between the observed and simulated crop yield values for both growing seasons, with <i>R</i>² values of 0.963 and 0.960, respectively, for all the treatments. The SALTMED model was used to simulate the soil moisture content, water application efficiency, barley dry matter, yield and water productivity for all the treatments. The study concluded that DWFF is a useful irrigation substitute for IW. Higher yields were also attained with the use of less IW and chemical fertilisers because of the DWFF. In addition, there are other advantages, such as increasing farmer income and lowering discharge to the drainage network.</p>","PeriodicalId":14848,"journal":{"name":"Irrigation and Drainage","volume":"74 3","pages":"1031-1050"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144615473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this objective, the AquaCrop, in conjunction with remote sensing (RS) data, was employed to predict yield in the paddy fields of SANRU. The required AquaCrop data, including ground (200 locations) and RS (Sentinel-2, MODIS) data, were collected in two seasons, namely, 2020 and 2021. Leveraging Sentinel-2 imagery, various vegetation indices (VIs) were computed, encompassing the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), rice growth vegetation index (RGVI) and soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI). Additionally, MODIS and spatio-temporal fusion algorithms (Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model [STARFM] and Enhanced Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model [ESTARFM]) were used to create a regular time pattern in satellite images taken on cloudy days. The results revealed that the yields observed for 2020 and 2021, on the basis of field data, were 4450 and 4370 kg/ha, respectively. Moreover, by leveraging the AquaCrop, the forecasted yield was ascertained both with and without the assimilation of RS data. Notably, the findings underscored that the incorporation of RS data significantly enhanced the model's predictive precision, particularly in estimating yield. The model's efficacy was demonstrated by its ability to forecast the end-of-season yield for the years 2020 and 2021, which yielded maximum RMSEs of 400 and 470 kg/ha, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RésuméLa prévision précise du rendement du riz à l'aide de données contemporaines est un outil de gestion primordial.

Les données AquaCrop requises, y compris les données au sol (200 emplacements) et les données de télédétection (Sentinel-2, MODIS), ont été recueillies en deux saisons, soit 2020 et 2021. À partir de l'imagerie Sentinel-2, divers indices de végétation (VI) ont été calculés, comprenant l'indice de végétation par différence normalisée (NDVI), l'indice de végétation de croissance du riz (RGVI) et l'indice de végétation ajusté au sol (SAVI). De plus, les algorithmes MODIS et de fusion spatio-temporelle (STARFM et ESTARFM) ont été utilisés pour créer un schéma temporel régulier des images satellites prises par temps nuageux.

In particular, irrigation engineering serves as a testament to the evolution and development of local vernacular landscapes, exerting a profound influence on their formation. However, the contribution of irrigation to the development of the vernacular landscape and its internal interactions are poorly understood. This study aims to highlight the relationship between historical hydraulic systems and local landscapes, with a focus on the Chatan Weir Water Conservancy Project, an ancient irrigation engineering system in China. On the basis of archival records, historical materials and observations, this study constructed an analytical framework to analyse how the local landscape changed from 943 to the present. Specifically, this study delved into the evolution of water conservancy, farmland, settlement landscapes and their interactions in the Chatan weir irrigation area. The findings revealed that the local landscape of the Chatan weir irrigation area consists of a collection of landscapes created by residents through a bottom-up approach. Furthermore, the water conservancy system has provided a stable water supply for both agricultural production and residential livelihoods, which has also shaped the spatial patterns of farmland and settlement landscapes. Finally, clan relations and rural management have played a vital role in the sustainability of the analysed irrigation system. The results of this study can provide insights into the sustainable coexistence of political and local landscapes.</p>","PeriodicalId":14848,"journal":{"name":"Irrigation and Drainage","volume":"74 3","pages":"1338-1353"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144615413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary data were collected from 25 adopters of the Drip Irrigation System and 13 non-adopters. The results of the partial budget analysis revealed that the average total cost for adopters was higher than that for non-adopters. However, the net margin was higher for adopters than for non-adopters. This is due to the greater increase in gross revenue for adopters than for non-adopters. Additionally, drip irrigation resulted in more efficient water use and water values than did the surface irrigation system. Economic profitability analysis via the benefit cost ratio and net present value tools revealed that the drip irrigation system is profitable. The benefit cost ratio is equal to 1.65, and the net present value is approximately 2938 Tunisian National Dinar.

Two types of hydrogels, polymer-based (Hydrogel-1) and small organic molecule-based (Hydrogel-2), were applied at three depths—surface (D₁), 5 cm (D₂) and 10 cm (D₃)—in a randomized block design. The results revealed that the water absorption capacity and water salinity of Hydrogel-1 were negatively correlated, whereas those of Hydrogel-2 were unaffected by salinity.
