Increase profitability with ICS's water management
solutions Why is water management essential ?
In regions where rainfall is insufficient and uncertain, irrigation water is essential for profitable crop production. But irrigation is a delicate tool that can endanger the farming system's sustainability (long-term profitability) instead of increasing it: it can be too expensive, can dry out underground water resources, cause irreversible soil property changes, etc. The problem is that it is very difficult to know if irrigation is at an optimum level. And since damage caused by too little water is better known than the reverse, farmers naturally tend to bring too much water, which can be worse on a long-term basis. Therefore, attention must not only be focused on equipment dimensioning but also on the management of irrigation water . It is the only way to lower production costs (no wasteful irrigation schemes), reach potential yields (crop cover requirements) and make water resources and soil last (no waste, no irreversible soil changes).

Catchments Back in Balance - making it happen
This NHT funded program is administered by the State Dryland Salinity Committee with the aim of increasing the adoption of strategies to control water table salinity by equipping land managers and community groups with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to plan and then implement management options. Developement of Complimentary Measures and Information for Loxton District
The floating flag test wells proved a visible quide to the fluctuating perched water table levels and provided irrigators with a fast, detectable method of identifying the effects of their own and their neighbours' irrigation water table practices on the perched water table levels. Highland Irrigation Districts Rehabilitation and Restructuring Project
The Higlands Irrigation Rehabilitation project lifted the Riverland from the inefficient irragtion management of the 1920's and replaced it with world best practice. As part of the project, training and development programs have been available including courses on irrigation skills and techniques, property management and farm planning, business management, quality management and marketing. Mid North Rivers Management Planning Project
The expected long term outcomes of the project are reduced erosion and sedimentation, improved water quality, reduced stock and weed management problems and improved ecosystem health and biodiversity. The aims are to work with local landholders and key stakeholders to produce river management plans that incorporate recommendations for watercourse management and an assessment of environmental water requirements.

Application of Soil Water Information

Dryland and irrigationd agriculture depend on the management of two basic natural resources, soil and water. Soil is the supporting structure of plant life and water is essential to sustain plant life. The wise use of these resources requires a basic understanding of soil and water as well as the crop. The available water capacity and characteristics of soils are critical to water management planning for irrigationd and dryland crops. The management decisions of what crops to plant, plant populations, when to irrigation, how much to irrigation, when to apply nitrogen, and how much nitrogen to apply depend in part on the water holding capacity of soils. These management decisions are critical to the long term quantity and quality of Nebraska's water resources. Some of the water in soil is retained and some moves through the soil. It moves readily downward after an irrigation or rain and eventually reaches the ground water. It is taken up by plant roots, moves through the plant to the leaves, and transpires to the atmosphere. Water also moves toward the soil surface where it evaporates directly into the atmosphere. Water is retained in or moves through the pore spaces as a result of the size, number, and continuity of the pores. Textural, structural, and organic matter characteristics determine how water is held in soils.

Case Studies: Sahelian Farming Soil and Water Management Techniques for Plant Resources Conservation in the Northern Burkina Faso Overview: Agriculture in the Sahelian zone like the northern part of Burkina Faso is essentially rainfed. Because of frequent droughts and land degradation, it is more and more difficult for crops to have enough water during their growing period. Farmers of this region have developed several soil and water management techniques like stony lines associated or not with the Zai system. This consists of digging holes during the dry season, putting a small quantity of manure into them and waiting for the raining season to sow seeds. Other techniques have been developed in this region over the past 20 years by many development projects, NGOs with the assistance of research institutions. Scale Field, farm, landscape, region Location: The site is located at 2.7 ÂºW, 14.0 Âº N in the Yatenga province near the town of Ouahigouya

Geographic coverage Africa Languages English Subject areas : Agricultural extension; Conservation; Environment; Sustainable agriculture Publications ACT NOW! (Internet newsletter) ACT was initiated in 1998 at a workshop on Conservation Tillage for Sustainable Agriculture convened in Harare by GTZ, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) , the southern and eastern Africa-based FARMESA, the Zimbabwe Farmers' Union and the South African Agricultural Research Council. It consists of practitioners (farmers) and promoters who believe that the adoption of conservation tillage principles and practices in Africa can not only reduce but can reverse the environmental degradation that is devastating the continent. Its purpose is to identify, develop, disseminate and promote sustainable land use and rural livelihoods through the adaptation and adoption of natural (such as soil and water) and other (such as fuel, energy, time and capital) conserving tillage practices in Africa. The objectives of the Network are to:
create fora for, and stimulate the sharing of, the exchange of information and experiences among researchers, extensionists and practitioners, and encourage farmers increasingly to apply methods of soil and water conservation that are environmentally sound and economically viable;

(F-6) CANCID Session on Soil and Water Quality Management
TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2002 TIME: ROOM # 510A
Co-Chairs: Jean Louis Daigle Canada Mr. Ali Madani Canada NOT AVAILABLE Many factors influence the performance and proper functioning of irrigation, drainage and water management systems. Inadequate attention is paid to the control of pollutants in rural areas. These pollutants often end up in irrigation and drainage waterways which then affect soil quality and crop growth. Improper water management systems can also induce soil erosion. Soil conservation practices are therefore essential for agricultural sustainability. There is a need to develop strategies to reduce the pollution of soil and water resources, under agricultural water management. In addition, properly maintained and operated irrigation systems will enhance water conservation, and reduce soil and water contamination.
