Inter Basin Transfer of Water in India: Challenges & Prospects
Abstract: Irrigation is one of the crucial inputs for achieving sustained agricultural growth and reducing inequality and poverty in India. After independence, significant progress has been made in the provision of irrigation facilities including adoption of new agricultural technologies which is more water-intensive and in the absence of adequate and timely irrigation there will be no great productivity gains. Moreover regional variations in rainfall leads to situations where some part of …

Tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill.) Yield and Yield Component Evaluation using Bottle Drip Irrigation in Yabello District, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Drip irrigation is the most proficient systems in supplying water to plant root but it still allows relatively high evaporation especially in clay soils. Thus identifying the high performing water delivering technology for limited water region is fundamental for high yield and water productivity. Bottle irrigation is more appropriate with not quantified results in these studies in saving water. The trials were replicated three times in RCBD for comprising of …
