Book Description
Recent extreme and extensive climatic events (drought, flood) over the most productive, traditionally rain fed lands of the world, have shown that, regardless of their disputed origin, the in-situ adaptation of agricultural practices to the current and future climatic realities must be made in accordance with the best soil, water, plant, and atmospheric monitoring technologies.Real-time measurement of the soil water profile into the crop root zone remains the least known parameter into the integral water balance calculations at local, regional, continental and global scales, with direct implications on the wise use of water and soil resources for adequate and efficient food and fiber production, as well as for responsible environmental protection measures. Current model simulations (rainfall, ET, run-off, etc.) estimating soil water reserves show a general picture, which must be verified and correlated to the real-time in-situ soil water profile measurement in order to offer accurate data for local agricultural management decisions. The same is true for the current and future remote sensing technologies of soil water profile measurement at different space/time scales. Increased challenges for using good quality water are forcing irrigated agricultural production of good quality food and fiber, as well as landscape irrigation (residential, commercial, parks and sport fields) to use alternative lower quality water sources (reclaimed water, etc..) with direct implications on soils, crops, atmosphere, surface and ground water resources protection. A new integrated approach of real-time monitoring of water quantity and quality (EC, pH, DO and temperature) from the irrigation source, to soil water profile, bellow root zone leaching, in the ground water wells, and in the runoff to surface water resources, is imperative.Due to new developments in research and technology, as well as future opportunities in developing multi-parameter sensors (soil water, temperature and EC), it is necessary to re-evaluate the real-time capacitance, impedance and TDT based sensors frequency variation with soil water, soil temperature and soil electrical conductivity, at the same location of measurement.

Book Description
This Irrigation Insights information package brings together information on current equipment and techniques for measuring and monitoring soil water status, extending to their use as controllers in automatic irrigation systems. The main part of the package focuses on equipment with agents and backup within Australia. The hub of the publication is a collection of tables summarising the main product features. This enables product features to be compared quickly. As well as technical data, there is also commercial information on suppliers, contact details, availability and price (accurate at October 2004). Case studies from personal experience and from the literature provide further insight into the advantages and limitations of each device in relation to its potential applications.

Book Description
Nuclear and related techniques can help develop climate smart agricultural practices by optimizing water use efficiency. The measurement of soil water content is essential to improve the use of this resource in agriculture. However, most sensors monitor small areas (less than 1m in radius), hence a large number of sensors are needed to obtain soil water content across a large area. This can be both costly and labour intensive and so larger scale measuring devices are needed as an alternative to traditional point-based soil moisture sensing techniques. The cosmic ray neutron sensor (CRNS) is such a device that monitors soil water content in a non-invasive and continuous way. This publication provides background information about this novel technique, and explains in detail the calibration and validation process.

Book Description
The excitement and the glitz of mechatronics has shifted the engineering community's attention away from fluid power systems in recent years. However, fluid power still remains advantageous in many applications compared to electrical or mechanical power transmission methods.

Book Description
This hand guide in the Gulf Drilling Guides series offers practical techniques that are valuable to petrophysicists and engineers in their day-to-day jobs. Based on the author's many years of experience working in oil companies around the world, this guide is a comprehensive collection of techniques and rules of thumb that work.The primary functions of the drilling or petroleum engineer are to ensure that the right operational decisions are made during the course of drilling and testing a well, from data gathering, completion and testing, and thereafter to provide the necessary parameters to enable an accurate static and dynamic model of the reservoir to be constructed. This guide supplies these, and many other, answers to their everyday problems. There are chapters on NMR logging, core analysis, sampling, and interpretation of the data to give the engineer a full picture of the formation. There is no other single guide like this, covering all aspects of well logging and formation evaluation, completely updated with the latest techniques and applications.·A valuable reference dedicated solely to well logging and formation evaluation.·Comprehensive coverage of the latest technologies and practices, including, troubleshooting for stuck pipe, operational decisions, and logging contracts.·Packed with money-saving and time saving strategies for the engineer working in the field.
