http://interests.caes.uga.edu/drought/articles/turfwater.htm

Extractions: Gil Landry The key to green lawns during drought is to prepare the grass to use as little extra water as possible and remain green and growing. This is done by developing a deep rooted turfgrass. Listed below are the guidelines which will help develop a deep-rooted turfgrass that is more tolerant to seasonal drought. Select a turfgrass which is well adapted to your location. Irrigate as infrequently as possible. Irrigate when the turf starts turning a dull bluish green, the first sign of drought stress. Apply enough water to drench the soil six to eight inches deep. Raise the height of cut during stress and mow more often. Use an irrigation system that provides an even distribution of water at about one-fourth to one-third inches per hour. Fertilize lightly in the summer months, especially on tall fescue.

http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/plantanswers/turf/publications/water.html

Extractions: Having witnessed the effects of water shortages in many sections of the country during the past decade, we can appreciate the value and need for conservation of water. And since scientists forecast more extensive droughts throughout the next decade, we must become more conscious of water use. Only through careful management of our water resources now can we expect to have adequate water supplies for turfgrass irrigation in the 21st Century. In some sections of the country, water use for turf irrigation may seem insignificant, but in other areas it accounts for 50 percent or more of the consumption of city water supplies during the summer months. If water conservation does not get your attention, perhaps improved turf quality will. Both of these effects are products of a properly designed and managed irrigation system. Simply installing an irrigation system to provide coverage to a sports field, golf course, or does not constitute design. Climatic conditions, rootzone properties, grass species, turf use, and water source must all be considered. In addition, pipe size, nozzle diameter, operating pressure and spacings, which together determine the rate and uniformity of application of water, must also be considered. Efficient use of water will, in time, become the most important design consideration for an irrigation system. Evaporation Losses.

http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/plantanswers/drought/cropmgmt.html

Extractions: May 24, 1996 Horticultural crops demand and require significant amounts of water due to their perishable nature. Tree fruit and nut crops are not only comprised of large amounts of water, but the trees are perennial plants. Stress not only affects the current season's crop, but future crops as well. Vegetables are also quite perishable but they represent annual crops and thus only one year of production is affected. Since water is such a critical component of the growth and development of horticultural crops, it is recommended that none of these crops be established without full irrigation capabilities. Normally 8-10 gallons of water per minute per acre well capacity for each acre planted are required for horticultural crops. Even with this level of water use requirements, there are several management decisions which can be undertaken to reduce the risk of over-extending an irrigation system. Although drought management decisions are generally the same for vegetable and orchard crops, orchardists are looking at such steps to ease their water shortage immediately since they already have established, perennial trees. Vegetable producers have the ability to evaluate all aspects of their water situation prior to planting and thus have the opportunity to reduce the size of planting, not plant at all, etc. to make this water reach. Aspects to be considered on orchard crops include: current irrigation method inefficiencies, irrigation scheduling techniques, less than optimum irrigations, block productivity, and more efficient irrigation systems.

Extractions: Public assistance When normal range livestock water supplies are reduced, the results can be (1) poor livestock performance and condition, and (2) range damage caused by both overuse and underuse. Locating additional sources of stock water becomes critical to avoid damaging both animals and range resources. The following suggestions may help make the best use of the water that is available. Many areas still exist where springs and seeps can be developed. Any such water source, however small, is vital in a drought yearand it should prove helpful even in normal years. If possible, store the water in a larger tank, then pipe it to a trough(s); this way, you'll increase the usability of even a very slow-flowing spring or seep. A flow of only 1/2 gallon a minute amounts to 720 gallons a day, which is enough water for 48 cows with calves. Horizontal wells have proved economical and desirable in the Southwest, but little has been done with them in Oregon. A horizontal well consists of a pipe bored at a slight angle down into a hillside to tap small, seepy flows of water. The water is controlled with appropriate valve systems. As with springs, water usually is of high quality.

Extractions: Drought recovery Agnote DPI-355, second edition, August 2002 Abigail Jenkins, Soils Advisory Officer, Wollongbar Introduction Soil structure and erosion Soil nutrition Long-term soil management ... Further assistance The principal aim after rain should be to get pasture or crop cover established on bare paddocks as soon as possible. This applies especially to the red soils, but is also important for the clays. Loss of effective ground cover (due to grazing or cultivation) leaves the soil highly prone to erosion by wind and water. Research by the Soil Services Available N and P levels in the soil are generally higher following a drought than in a normal season. However, most of the N and P are in the topsoil, so if erosion strips the topsoil, much of this benefit is lost. Cracking black, grey and brown clays can develop wide and deep cracks during drought. Generally speaking, their structure is as good as it is ever likely to be. On the other hand, the structure of non-cracking red loam soils generally deteriorates during drought. Topsoils can become very dry and powdery, and are highly vulnerable to erosion.

http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/droughtrecovery/14702.html

Extractions: Water management at the end of drought (grazing) Before the drought is over, you should assess how well your water needs were met during the drought. This assessment should become part of your management plan. You should take the opportunity to prepare your water systems so that they can make the best possible use of the rain when it comes and have the capacity to meet your needs through the next drought. You need to look at all the water systems on your property, including your domestic watering system. However, this fact sheet deals particularly with your stock-watering system and your irrigation system. Ask yourself these questions: Were there enough watering points in all paddocks to spread the grazing pressure evenly? Were my tanks/dams big enough? What was the condition of rivers and/or creeks?

Badertscher, Mary Small, Roberta Tolan and David Whiting Even though our snowpack levels are considerably higher than last year, reservoir levels are still at historic lows throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. During normal precipitation years, landscape irrigation comprises 50% or more of urban water use during the growing season in the Rocky Mountain region. Restrictions in home landscape irrigation may continue to be imposed by water utilities, communities, and other water-management entities. New Landscapes New plantings require additional moisture for two years to become established. Evaluate current and future watering restrictions prior to design. If you decide not to plant this season, you can still get started on a new landscape by focusing on design, site preparation, irrigation and hardscape installation.

Impact Highlights ICRISAT is developing income-generating options for managing soil, water and agrobiodiversity in SAT systems. The emphasis is on cost-effective, practical strategies. In both Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, ICRISAT actively tailors options suited to farmers' diverse investments and risks. To increase research impacts, use of new tools such as systems simulation, better farmer participatory methods, scaling out to the wider farming community by promoting farmer field schools and by taking an integrated genetic and natural resource management approach is emphasized. Crop diversification has proved to be an attractive option for restoring soil fertility, increasing farm income and improving the nutrition of farm families in watersheds in India and Vietnam.

Information on possible longer-term climate forecasts and/or development of plausible scenarios has not yet been incorporated into any specific action plans. Water management is strongly concerned with the minimization of risks in agricultural production. Much of the risk is caused by the unpredictability of future weather patterns. The impacts vary between users and regions in the Mediterranean. There has been remarkable progress in the science of climate and climate prediction in the last few decades. While this progress will continue, it is necessary to mainstream the climate variable into the development planning and implementation processes. This requires an understanding of how climate variability impacts on society in a country, region, or community.

Extractions: MSU Extension Soil and Water Quality Specialist BOZEMAN "You can irrigate more acres with less water and not lower crop yields if the applications are well-timed, says a Montana State University Extension specialist. "Timing is the key when water is limited," says Jim Bauder, Extension water quality specialist. When you get the best water use, you can use water and equipment elsewhere. Seed-producing crops like wheat, barley, corn, sunflowers and beans typically respond more to irrigations at a particular stage of development, says Bauder. Yields of sugar beets, potatoes, alfalfa and grasses are more directly related to heat and cumulative water use than to stress at particular growth stage. Crops like grain and oilseeds typically are sensitive during heading, flowering and pollination. Drought stress that occurs between seed development and maturity also limits yield, but to a lesser degree. These same crops are relatively insensitive to drought during the early vegetative period. Tuber and root crops are relatively insensitive to moderate drought stress for short intervals throughout the entire crop growing season. Crops like potatoes, sugar beets, alfalfa and pasture, quickly recover from short stress periods with little reduction in yields.
