FAQ Book Series on Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

FAQ Book Series on Irrigation & Drainage Engineering is the next book in the FAQ Book Series on Soil & Water Management in Agriculture. The present book is a comprehensive and application-oriented reference volume designed to present the principles, practices, and engineering applications of irrigation and drainage in a clear and systematic question-and-answer format. The series covers essential topics including irrigation techniques, crop water requirements, canal irrigation and lining, waterlogging and drainage, wells, groundwater, hydraulic structures, spillways, dams, flood management, and related aspects of water resources engineering.A distinctive feature of the series is its emphasis on concept-based learning and Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The chapters are structured to encourage understanding, analytical reasoning, practical problem-solving, and engineering decision-making rather than simple memorization. Carefully framed FAQs, conceptual questions, advanced questions, numerical problems, and examination-oriented questions help readers develop a deeper understanding of important engineering principles.Through this series, the author aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical engineering applications while promoting the efficient, sustainable, and resilient management of water resources for agriculture and society.
