The need for a unified reference book for the encouragement and improvement of academic courses in irrigation has been urgent. For despite the growing recognition of its importance, irrigation is now being taught in relatively few institutions and the scope of existing courses varies widely. Where irrigation is taught from the engineering viewpoint, the soil, plant, and agricultural aspects of the subject may not receive sufficient emphasis. Where instruction is given from the viewpoint of the crop and soil scientist, little attention may be given to the engineering aspects of irrigation. This monograph covers the subject from a variety of viewpoints so that it should be useful to instructors and students in all disciplines concerned.
