About the book

Agricultural Drainage Engineering is not a goal in itself but part of a process of resource management that provides a key input to agriculture production and farmer incomes. It includes irrigation and drainage, water management in rain fed agriculture, recycled water reuse, water and land conservation, and watershed management. This book is a sincere attempt to cover most of the topics under the heading. The chapter have been divided in such a way that book must be useful to environmentalists, biologists, health technicians, agriculture scientists and all those who are engaged actively in the field of environmental investigation.

The book is an invaluable source for policy makers, academicians, practitioners and a range of analysts and commentators on water resources and agriculture in world today. It can be made an essential reading for public administrators, professors and students of water policy, agriculture and rural management, and national and international analysts’ experiments with water management for agriculture.
