Impact Score for agricultural water management 2020-2021 Impact Score for agricultural water management 2020 is 4.72 calculated according to its definition for 2021. Agricultural water management has increased compared to the previous year in 2019 by a factor of 0.18 and shows an increasing trend. Impact Score refers to the Journal Impact Score of a scientific journal that measures the average annual number of citations of the most recent articles published in this journal.
This journal publishes articles of international significance in the context of science, economics and politics of agricultural water management. In order to achieve its goals, the Ag and Water Management Research Group at Iowa State University uses field laboratories, research facilities, university extensions and the presence of publications and presentations.
Improving agricultural water management plays a crucial role in maximising agricultural production with limited water supply and achieving economic and environmental sustainability. Agricultural water management includes research on water use, efficiency and productivity of agricultural systems at the parcel, scheme, system and landscape level. It includes irrigation and drainage techniques, improved precipitation use , use of recycled water, conservation of soil water and management of water catchment areas.
David Engineering offers a wide range of services to support surface and groundwater management. In our 20-year history, we have supported dozens of irrigation water suppliers and farmers in a variety of agroclimatic and hydrological production and water management conditions. The specific services of David Engineering in the field of agricultural water management are described below.
Water management controls water resources in order to minimize damage to life and property and maximize efficient and beneficial use. As the name implies, drainage and water management help producers manage the water in their fields. It increases production by keeping nutrients in the field and sending clean, filtered water away from the field.
Good water management of dams and dykes reduces the risk of damage caused by floods. Irrigation and water management systems make the effective use of limited water resources for agriculture. Pragmatics to improve water management can meet agricultural water needs, respond to climate change, produce nutritious food and protect the environment.
In order to ensure food security and a sustainable water management in agriculture there is urgent need to grow more cereals, reduce water consumption in agriculture and ensure that the efficiency of water use is increased without a negative impact on the downstream quantity and quality of water. Improving the efficiency of water use in agriculture depends on combining improvements in the main farm system with adequate incentives for agricultural investment to improve soil water management. Significant water change for agriculture must be accompanied by improvements in water use and efficiency as well as in water supply systems.
In light of existing restrictions, the agricultural water sector is repositioning itself as a modern and sustainable service company. It proposes a unique water approach to build resilient water services that preserve water resources and address risks associated with larger social and economic water impacts. Between 2009 and 2012, scientists investigated the potential of various agricultural irrigation technologies and practices to address the water problems faced by smallholder farmers.
Software-based solutions to save water and increase agricultural productivity consist of several interdependent technologies. Water management applications which include IoT , mobile applications, big data analysis and decision support systems serve to produce environmentally friendly and optimized agricultural yields for a growing population.
Plant management software, weather monitoring systems, and necessary equipment can be integrated with water management applications to provide a global overview of the interdependent processes required to maximize water efficiency. The design and integration of water management processes can automate and manage basic water conservation techniques, giving farmers time to manage manual tasks. Developers with knowledge of agriculture and water management can bring the necessary experience to develop comprehensive software solutions.
The establishment of Water Management and Conservation Plans for irrigation zones and other agricultural water suppliers is voluntary. The current county agricultural water management plan must meet requirements of the Governors Executive Order B-29-15 of 1 April 2015. Agriculture suppliers of water can assess their water supply, demand and future need for water-saving tools through conservation planning programmes.
Farmers know how to reuse resources - which is why sustainability has become a buzzword. American farmers are closing the loop and recycling their waste with cutting-edge technologies like Regenis.
Even small improvements in water usage and efficiency in agriculture can be significant, given that agriculture accounts for 80% of California's water consumption. Agriculture provides for increasing and decreasing the availability of land and water and the competition for it with other uses such as non-food crops, urbanization and industrial development. The potential for increasing production in existing agricultural land through reforestation is low.
For example, by switching from flood irrigation to drip irrigation, they could reduce the water consumption by up to 20 percent. However, such options require improved water supply systems that provide appropriate on-demand services using advanced technologies.

At MOOC, we focus on the role of the agricultural water management in the global context of sustainable water and food supply. Focusing on the combination of water technology and social factors creates a unique socio-technical approach. Research at the University of Wageningen has been long involved in the debate about water for food.
Since the AWMC joined in the late 1990s, MID has been involved in planning agricultural water management. Our first Agricultural Water Management Plan was submitted and approved by AWMC on behalf of the California Department of Water Resources .
