Deficit Irrigation
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-35585-2 (ISBN)
This book focuses on proving that deficit irrigation could play an important role in increasing food production in times of water scarcity. Although the application of deficit irrigation can involve loss in crop productivity, it still secures water to be use in cultivating more lands and producing more food.
The following questions are discussed and the authors offer solutions to these problems:
Will the production, on a national level, resulting from these new added areas compensate yield losses attained by application of deficit irrigation?
Is it possible to use deficit irrigation practice to reduce the applied irrigation water to certain crops that have a surplus in their production, and direct this saved water to cultivate new areas with crops have low self-sufficiency ratios?
Under climate change in 2030, would deficit irrigation practice have the same role it plays under the current conditions?
This book will appeal to students and researchers involved with water scarcity and food security.
Professor Samiha Ouda had her BSc. from Cairo University in 1982 (Agricultural Economy Department), Egypt and her MSc from Ain Shams University in 1993 (Agronomy Department), Egypt. She had her PhD in 1998 from Iowa State University, USA (Crop Physiology and management). She had her professor appointment in 2009. Prof. Ouda have been working in the Agricultural Research Center in Water Requirements and Field Irrigation Research Department; Soils Water and Environment Institute; in Egypt for 28 years. She won three prizes: two of them local and the third one from International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID-CIID) in 2015. She published 88 research papers, 40 book chapters and 4 books on irrigation water management, modeling, crop simulation, agroclimatology, climate change impacts on crops and its water requirements. She supervised 4 Master and PhD theses on simulation models and climate change.
