Book Description
Agricultural drainage system is planned to remove excess water from the crop land, whether coming through irrigation system, rainfall or runoff, before it creates waterlogging or high salinity condition. The Field and Laboratory Manual will assist in imparting better practical skills and understanding to Under Graduate (UG) and Post Graduate (PG) Students of Agricultural Engineering and Technology faculty. The manual will be helpful to the students as a reference for preparation of competitive examinations like GATE/ JRF/ SRF/ NET/ ARS, etc.

Book Description
Agricultural drainage system is planned to remove excess water from the crop land, whether coming through irrigation system rainfall or runoff, before it creates waterlogging or high salinity condition. The field and laboratory manual on agricultural drainage engineering is prepared as per fourth deans committee of ICAR for students of B.Tech. (Agri. Engg). Than manual is expressing the topics in simple language with the objective of giving insights of practical aspects. The manual deals with practical aspects of drainage investigation, design of surface and subsurface drainage systems, installation of drainage system, fabrication and testing of tiles, gypsum requirement, design of envelope, cost estimation, maintenance, etc,. It also deals with practical application of agricultural drainage engineering like measurement of hydraulic conductivity in field and in laboratory, preparation of iso-bath and isobar maps, installation of piezometers and observation wells, design and installation of drainages systems, etc.

Book Description
The manual has been written based on a series supplied to participants in a workshop titled “Diagnostic Analysis of Farm Irrigation System”. The main purpose of this manual is to provide the student with basic measurement procedures, suitable for the laboratory and field, for conducting field studies of farm irrigation systems. This manual should be used as a reference for correct laboratory and field measurement procedures. It can be used as a valuable reference by the personnel conducting actual field studies of irrigation systems. The equipments list for each exercise are for determining equipment needs for planning the field study or a workshop. The analysis and discussion suggestions are appropriate for the data collected during the study. It is hoped that the manual will serve as a useful guide for the field as well as laboratory. It can be used as a general reference manual by all researchers involved in field and workshop.

Book Description
The irrigation water is considered as the essential input for crop production. Over exploitation of natural water resources has caused a menace for the future human generations. The depletion of underground water table in high productivity areas and under utilization of the water resources in rain fed areas of the country, poor irrigation efficiency and high seepage losses from conveyance system, poor land development and mismanagement of the irrigation water resources has acquired alarming proportions. As the share of water for agriculture in future is going to reduce, there will be tremendous pressure to produce more per drop of water in order to meet the food and other requirements of burgeoning population of the country. The existing irrigation water resources are not utilized judiciously and their mismanagement has lead to problems like low production efficiency, salinization, water logging and degradation of land. To manage these problems and increase the production efficiency of irrigation, it is pertinent to adopt judicious methods of irrigation water use, by efficient on-farm irrigation management based on scientific approach. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge of available soil moisture and its constants, scheduling and quality of irrigation water and proper drainage techniques is crucial. This manual on irrigation engineering is an attempt to fulfil this urgent need as it covers all major aspects of irrigation water management. Although, manual is meant primarily for the students of agricultural universities, yet it will provide valuable basic information and guide to the scientific community and field functionaries.
