Irrigation

Water scarcity occurs when there is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the needs of water within a region. The continent of Africa is a main region that deals with this scarcity; as the most impoverished continent in the world (“World Bank – Poverty Data 2016”), almost all countries in Africa lack major resources such as water, causing several organizations and groups to donate their time and contributions. Water scarcity is categorized by economic and physical levels. Economic

years of experience in the irrigation industry and a great number of patents to his name, Mr. Edwin Hunter had a huge advantage over other start up companies. The company we selected is Hunter Industries. They are located in San Marcos, CA and have manufacturing plants in Tijuana (Mexico), Cary (North Carolina) and offices all over the world.

Study area is geographically located between 32° 32´ 38 ' ' - 33° 21´ 09 ' ' E and 30° 51´ 38 ' ' - 31° 14´ 39 ' ' N, in the northwestern of Egypt. The northern Sinai coast is located within the rainy belt of Egypt; while the aridity increases generally to the south (El-Ghazawi, 1989). Rainfall is scarce and varies from place to place and increases in the northeastern direction, ranging from about 30 mm/year in the southwest at Ismailia to about 300 mm/year in the northeast at Rafah. The annual rainfall

Water-energy-food Nexus 1. Introduction Through the better understanding of our complex society, people start to combine water, energy and food sectors that are traditionally consider as independent systems into one nexus. However the whole water-energy-food system cannot be represent by the sum up of each sub-system. During the investigating, system thinking as a holistic approach is used to explore the positive and negative interactions and optimizing the overall performance and efficiency. 2

1 The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has stepped in to provide restorative practices upon 500,000 acres of heavily degraded public grasslands. This land is suffering from severe soil erosion as well as degradation due to overgrazing. The suppression of natural fires has caused shrubs and invasive weeds to encroach upon the grasslands. A full scale assessment will take place on this land before restoration efforts begin. The first thing that would need to be assessed is the soil, for it is eroding

body heat when in cold temperatures (sew-ultions guidelines). This makes cotton the leading American cash crop. The production of cotton carries major environmental problems, like disrupting many ecosystems, impacting fresh water resources with irrigation systems, and water pollution. Producing cotton has

are some benefits ?: Today we enjoy the benefits of the Fryingpan-Arkansas project. Water diverted from the western slope and regulation of the Arkansas river provides irrigation water for the Arkansas Valley. It allows farmers to sustain and increase the level of crop productivity. It allows them to diversify crops and meet irrigation needs. Major crops grown in the valley are alfalfa, corn, sorghum, onions, beans, melons and seed crops. Maintaining fish and wildlife habitat was also a concern of

This will help save water because seventy-five percent of our water is used by farmers who use flood irrigation which is very wasteful. The second way to be resourceful is xeriscaping which is dry landscaping. By Xeriscaping water is being saved there’s no need to water your lawn or plants. Residential Californian’s spend about fifty percent of our water

LRGV was referred to as the “garden of Eden”. Is was rich of many crop such as tomatoes, beans, and corn. The primary crop farmers raised the LRGV is citrus. The valley was composed of urban and rural regions. Development revolved around irrigation systems. Irrigation system were needed due to often drought the LRGV experienced. Faring was often ranching or citrus crop depending on the location of the farm. Cotton and sorghums along with citrus seemed to provide the best yields almost all crops. They
