A handy irrigation management method through meteorological data. Case study in N. Greece

by

George Arampatzis et al. View all

Issue 2

Hydrology and Water Resources Management

Crop irrigation, especially in irrigation networks, often consumes larger quantities of irrigation water than necessary since most of the times irrigation is carried out empirically and not based on actual crop requirements. The aim of this work is the management of irrigation water though the use...
