Our recent webinar focused on the growing trend within governments and water associations to place more emphasis on cost-effective irrigation infrastructure projects. Our discussion covered the key components of an irrigation water supply project: pumping stations and water source management, distribution networks, and smart hydrants. As many interesting questions were raised during the webinar, we highlighted and addressed a few topics.

The Nebraska edition of the April Irrigation Leader is here! Since 1971, LI-COR Environmental has been producing instruments for agricultural research, but more recently it has turned to less expensive and more scalable instruments for use in the field. Its LI‑710 can directly measure the quantity of water lost from a field through processes such as evapotranspiration, providing vital data that can inform irrigation practices. General Manager Kristin Feese tells us more about how LI‑COR is partnering with the irrigation community. https://bit.ly/4bhnpoz #IrrigationLeader #NebraskaEdition #AprilIssue #LI‑COREnvironmental #AgriculturalResearch #FieldInstruments #Evapotranspiration #IrrigationPractices #WaterManagement #FieldData

🔍 💧What are the interlinkages between different irrigation technologies and management systems and environmental outcomes? This new study by Rahel Deribe Bekele, Dawit Mekonnen, Claudia Ringler, and Marc Jeuland found that compared to open-access plots equipped with pump irrigation, other irrigated configurations, and especially private groundwater-based systems, have higher vegetation cover and show less susceptibility to water logging, soil salinity, and erosion externalities.

Flood Irrigation: An Unexpected Boost for Streamflow Sustainability. A recent study by Ketchum, Hoylman, Huntington, and colleagues reveals that flood irrigation, often seen as inefficient, can actually benefit streamflows in certain regions. The research found that flood irrigation allows more water to seep into the soil, recharging groundwater and boosting late-season streamflows, especially during dry periods. This finding challenges the conventional wisdom around irrigation practices, underscoring the importance of a balanced approach to water management that considers both efficiency and environmental impact.
