Harnessing Floodwater of Hill Torrents for Improved Spate Irrigation System Using Geo-Informatics Approach

In semi-arid regions, sustainability of agricultural system is most demanding in view of economical approaches for agricultural water management and its ensured availability. Flood flows of hill torrents have potential prospects for development to meet growing demands of water for agriculture. How...
