Journal Title：Irrigation And Drainage

Human intervention in the control of water for sustainable agricultural development involves the application of technology and management approaches to: (i) provide the appropriate quantities of water when it is needed by the crops, (ii) prevent salinisation and water-logging of the root zone, (iii) protect land from flooding, and (iv) maximise the beneficial use of water by appropriate allocation, conservation and reuse. All this has to be achieved within a framework of economic, social and environmental constraints. The Journal, therefore, covers a wide range of subjects, advancement in which, through high quality papers in the Journal, will make a significant contribution to the enormous task of satisfying the needs of the world’s ever-increasing population. The Journal also publishes book reviews.

在控制水资源以促进可持续农业发展方面的人为干预涉及应用技术和管理方法来：(i) 在作物需要时提供适量的水，(ii) 防止盐碱化和内涝根区，(iii) 保护土地免受洪水侵袭，以及 (iv) 通过适当的分配、保护和再利用，最大限度地利用水资源。所有这一切都必须在经济、社会和环境限制的框架内实现。因此，该期刊涵盖了广泛的主题，通过期刊中的高质量论文，该期刊的进步将为满足世界不断增长的人口需求的艰巨任务做出重大贡献。该杂志还发表书评。
