Investing in recovering water for the environment in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin

Irrigated agriculture makes an important contribution to the economy of Australia's Murray-Darling Basin. Competing water demand, recurring drought and climate change have ushered in an era of water policy reform. To recover water for the environment, surface water extraction is capped and investment in irrigation infrastructure is prioritized. This article applies a computable general equilibrium model to evaluate the economic impacts of investment in irrigation in a case study of the Murrumbidgee subcatchment. Results indicate an increase in regional output, income and employment, while at the national level there is a small negative impact resulting from the transfer of resources to the basin and the crowding out of private investment.     

农田水利工程BIM模型的构建方法及应用

针对农田水利工程设计中已有缺陷、施工效率低及后期运行管理不便等问题,引入了BIM(BuildingInformation Modeling)技术,以某田间工程为例,利用Bentley系列软件与CATIA相结合,在设计阶段建立了精度较高的三维模型,通过分析模型,发现并解决了由于设计原因存在的缺陷和不足;在施工阶段通过快速出图、计算工程量及造价、进行施工模拟提高了施工效率;并提供了后期运行管理平台的开发思路,进一步实现了农田水利工程信息化管理,对BIM技术在农业上的应用具有借鉴意义。     

Laboratory evaluation of dripper performance

The catch can method is traditionally used for evaluating performance of drip systems. Two variations of this method are commonly applied in laboratory testing of drippers: the sequential and the simultaneous method. This study compared uniformity and measurement uncertainty of the two methods, with the overall aim of improving irrigation water management. The simultaneous method was found to have a lower coefficient of variation (C_v) and measurement uncertainty, indicating that it is more accurate than the sequential method. In all the tests, however, the C_v was determined to be <5%, which is acceptable as per the current reference standard.

Spring Maize Yield Estimation based on Radiation Use Efficiency and Multi-temporal Remotely Sensed Data

In order to develop highly accurate model for crop yield estimation,an approach of retrieving regional crop yield was studied by Radiation Use Efficiency (RUE) and remote sensing data,the Jifangzha irrigation is of Hetao irrigation district of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was selected as a research case.Based on this model,the difference of the Dry Matter Accumulation (DMA) between the maize’s different growing stages is made and a comparative analysis of the measured yields,and the predicted results based on this model.The results show that the DMA of the maize’s jointing stage is maximal,about 40% of total amount.The measured yield and the predicted ones based on the model has a greater correlation,the Correlation Coefficient was 0.853 and passed the reliability of 0.01.The difference of the DMA in different growing stages showed that the sensitive degree was displayed between main growing stages and yield,and that were some key aspects:the main limiting factor in growing stages and raising yield.These results indicate the model for spring maize yield estimation is feasible and effective based on the RUE and multi-temporal remotely sensing data.     

厦门市汀溪灌区总干渠洪水复核方法探讨

汀溪灌区作为汀溪水库群的农业供水对象,其灌溉用水量的大小直接关系到汀溪水库群向翔安、同安两区的水资源供需平衡,甚至影响厦门市水资源配置方案。但由于灌溉面积和渠道功能发生变化,有必要进行洪水分析复核从而重新确定工程规模。本文对汀溪灌区总干渠洪水复核方法进行探讨,供参考。     

灌溉周期对工业大麻秆部分理化性能的影响Ⅱ.灌溉周期对纤维素相对结晶度和晶胞尺寸的影响

为更好利用生物质材料,研究纤维素的相对结晶度和晶胞尺寸及其影响因素,用广角X射线衍射仪,研究了不同灌溉周期（3天浇一次水、14天浇一次水、不浇水）对工业大麻秆纤维素相对结晶度和晶胞尺寸的影响。结果表明在整个生长期中,随着生长期延长纤维素的相对结晶度呈增加趋势,晶胞尺寸呈减小趋势;不同灌溉周期对纤维素相对结晶度和晶胞尺寸影响显著（P≤0.05）;纤维素的物理结构在纤维细胞壁不同层次中是不同的。
