Dear Sir / Madam,
Subject: Top 10 irrigation technologies
As you are already aware of, the President Lee brought out top 10 core issues that could perhaps revolutionize our sector in his recent message in ICID Newsletter (http://www.icid.org (http://www.icid.org/)). The message contained the tech_top-10 as:
1. Farmer controlled water supply, or total channel control or downstream control of canals; call it what you will, but essentially an extension of the control that came with groundwater, applied to surface sources and large systems.
2. Emitter delivery systems for precision irrigation and for undulating terrain, not just through drip systems but also through centre pivots, especially those that can be moved from centre to centre, and with sweeps programmed to serve typical farm blocks. Such technologies can bring irrigation to areas previously thought capable only of purely rain fed production.
3. Wetting front indicator, a technology recognized for its outstanding potential
by a WatSave award, but not yet widely appreciated.
4. Drain controllers, also exampled by WatSave awards, for their capability to improve control of soil moisture and stimulate sub-irrigation.
5. Wetting-drying rice, another important water saving technology that WatSave has recognised in its widespread application in China .
6. No-till (NT) or minimum tillage technologies already used to conserve erodible soils and nutrients, and save fuel, but which can also conserve water in irrigated as well as rainfed production.
7. Fresh-saline irrigation, where saline and brackish water is used for part of the growing period without much loss of yield or detriment to the soil structure.
8. Salt and drought tolerant food crops, perhaps used in conjunction with 7, or independently, especially where irrigation is ephemeral or only supplementary.
9. Remote sensing coupled with the Internet and mobile communications to help the farmer with everything from establishing land tenure to operational forecasting.
10. Drainage, an "old" technology but one which we must not forget can improve and sustain production in rather more parts of the world than irrigation on its own.
During discussions with other agencies like World Water Council (WWC), IWALC and others like World Bank, the proposal to identify key areas was received with enthusiasm. The World Bank (Dr. Salah Darghouth) proposed an idea of an E-Conference on the top 10 technologies outlined in the message of President Lee.
The Central Office intends to create an `E-Group' that could bring out appropriate issues on the listed top 10 technologies.
