Irrigation Management is important since it helps determine future Irrigation expectations. Irrigation is the artificial exploitation and distribution of water at project level aiming at application of water at field level to agricultural crops in dry areas or in periods of scarce rainfall to assure or improve crop production. The goal of irrigation management is to use water in the most profitable way at sustainable production levels. For production agriculture this generally means supplementing precipitation with irrigation. In recent years we have seen declines in groundwater levels, best management practices (BMPs) for the use of irrigation water can help increase efficiency and uniformity and reduce contamination of water resources. This text is a comprehensive overview on the basic principles and practices of applied agricultural irrigation.
