Freshwater is becoming an ever-increasingly precious commodity, control of which could lead in the near future to the type of political instability now associated with energy shortages. This book addresses the different aspects of irrigation, including not only the management of water resources and scientific and technical aspects but also matters related to policy and economics, researchers in academia and industry as well as professional practitioners and policymakers. Bringing together papers from the First International Conference on Sustainable Irrigation Management, Technologies and Policies, the book covers topics such as Irrigation Controls; Irrigation Modelling; Irrigation Systems and Planning; Irrigation Management.
