[A publication designed to provide detailed, scientifically-based comprehensive information about the growth, production, management, and utilization of alfalfa grown under irrigation].
The olive oil industry in California has undergone a sea change over the last decade, with acreage of oil olives surpassing that of table olives. Now UC researchers and industry leaders turn their expertise to this important market. This extensive manual covers all aspects of olive production for oil, from orchard site selection to processing of virgin olive oil. Changes fueling the growth in production are covered, including establishing high-density and super high-density orchards, the latest methods of irrigation management, and harvesting methods. The concepts presented in the book are scalable, benefiting large and niche growers alike. Topics covered include: ยท International and Califo...

The second edition also includes greatly enhanced coverage of streams and lakes as well as many regional case studies. An International Team Addresses Important Issues The only source to provide full coverage of current debates in the field, the encyclopedia offe...
This book serves the purpose of showcasing some of the works in respect of applied research, field projects, and best practice to foster climate change adaptation across the region. Climate change is having a much greater impact in the Mediterranean than the global average. In the Paris Climate Agreement, the UN member states pledged to stop global warming at well below two degrees, if possible at 1.5 degrees. This mark, which is expected elsewhere only for 2030 to 2050, has already been reached in the region. The situation could worsen in the coming years if the global community does not limit its emissions. The above state of affairs illustrates the need for a better and more holistic unde...
Microirrigation for Crop Production: Design, Operation, and Management, Second Edition, Volume Thirteen is the latest release in this go-to foundational resource for the basics of engineering and the science of the design and operation of micoirrigation systems. This new edition includes novel methods for measurement and estimation of evapotranspiration, resource-efficient microirrigation design and operation, advanced irrigation scheduling methods and tools, novel methods and technology of microirrigation automation, monitoring and control, updates in crop salinity tolerance and leaching practices, variable rate irrigation, updates on the use of biological effluents and chemicals and pestic...
This compilation of papers presents an international survey of contemporary issues related to groundwater management, and the current and emerging technologies involved. Modeling and case studies are provided, as topics range from groundwater/surface interactions to contaminated site remediation, multiphase flow, transboundary groundwater issues, and bioremediation. Geographic information systems, wellhead protection, agricultural contamination, and aquifer storage and recovery are also addressed. Specific papers examine the quantification, characterization, and treatment options of landfill leachate; irrigation, geology, and wetlands in semi-arid regions; remediation of contaminated aquifers with reclaimed sewage water; minimum cost design of a funnel-and-gate system; lake and surficial aquifer interaction; and evaluation of induced infiltration in glacial drift aquifers.
