Micro Irrigation Management
Micro Irrigation Management: Technological Advances and Their Applications, the fifth book in the Innovations and Challenges in Micro Irrigation book series, is a valuable reference volume on micro irrigation and water management for professional training institutes, technical agricultural centers, irrigation centers, agricultural extension service, and other agencies who work with micro irrigation programs. With an international focus, this new book focuses on applications of solar energy in micro irrigation and other important technological advances. It includes case studies and illustrative examples on drip irrigation design.
Climate Change Impacts on Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum
This book explores the interaction between climate change phenomena and the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum (SPAC), which inspects the crucial role of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in modifying the net ecosystem response towards the modified environment. Increasing concentration of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) from massive deforestation, fossil fuel burning and rapid industrialization in the post-nineteenth century have led to adverse changes in our global climate system. The book evaluates the net impact of climate change on soil, plants and the atmosphere individually and in totality. Among the topics it covers are the impact of cl...
Climate Change Impacts
This book comprises the select proceedings of the International Conference on Water, Environment, Energy and Society. The book is divided into four parts. Part I deals with some aspects of climatic characteristics ranging from changes in temperature and sunshine hours to downscaling to global climate patterns and effects of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on extreme rainfall. Part II covers rainfall analysis, including changes in regional rainfall series, analysis of non-stationarity, summer monsoon and rainfall scenarios. Impacts of climate change are treated in Part III. Change point analysis, greenhouse gas emissions, rainfall variability, water resource...
Handbook of Nature-Based Drought Solutions
Handbook of Nature-Based Drought Solutions covers the latest research on successful, sustainable solutions for the efficient water resources management to overcome the drought and water scarcity problems. The book centers around the realms of drought modeling green infrastructure planning, and the utilization of remote sensing to evaluate, dissect, and oversee drought occurrences. It delves into subjects such as risk mitigation, strategic planning, policy considerations, and the ecological restoration of degraded lands after drought. The use of case studies and novel methodologies including soft computing technique application will help the reader gain a deeper knowledge in understanding, predicting, and mitigating hydrometeorological hazards. - Offers fundamental information on nature-based techniques to drought management - Includes case studies and methods for the successful implementation of ecological restoration of degraded lands - Covers both traditional and novel techniques for the efficient water resources management to overcome drought and water scarcity problems
Climate Change Issues
Climate Change Issues provides a comprehensive overview of one of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century—climate change and its profound impact on our planet. From rising global temperatures and sea levels to extreme weather events, this book explores the causes, effects, and potential solutions to mitigate global warming. Focusing on human activities such as greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and the excessive use of fossil fuels, the book highlights their role in exacerbating the greenhouse effect and disrupting ecological balance. It examines the scientific basis of climate change, its anticipated future impacts on human well-being and biodiversity, and the urgent need for innovative technologies and policy reforms. Designed to educate and inspire action, this book proposes strategies for reducing emissions, adopting sustainable practices, and advancing international cooperation to combat climate change effectively.

Integrated Drought Management, Volume 1
The first volume of this comprehensive global perspective on Integrated Drought Management is focused on understanding drought, causes, and the assessment of drought impacts. It explains different types of drought: agricultural, meteorological, hydrological, and socioeconomic droughts, their indices and the impact of climate change on drought. The volume also examines spatiotemporal analysis of drought, variability and patterns, assessment, and drought evaluation. With numerous case studies from India, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, US, and other countries, this volume serves as a valuable resource for all readers who want to advance their knowledge on drought and risk management. Features: Provide...
