Special Issue on Agricultural Water Management and Conservation

Agricultural water refers to water used for irrigation and feeding livestock. Agricultural irrigation water consumption is affected by water level, climate, soil, crop type, cultivation method, irrigation technology and canal system utilization coefficient, which has obvious regional differences. Low water consumption agriculture is an emerging agriculture pattern with improved effectiveness of water use in agriculture. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Agricultural Water Management and Conservation.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Agricultural Water Management and Conservation. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Farm-level and regional water management
• Crop water relations, crop yields and water productivity
• Water saving in agriculture
• Rainwater harvesting and crop water management
• Exploitation and protection of agricultural water resources
• Hydroponics and controlled environment agriculture
• Applications of remote sensing in agricultural water management
• Science, economics, and policy of agricultural water management

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Agricultural Water Management and Conservation” should be selected during your submission.
