Abstract:A technical method of increasing water resources and reducing water consumption was presented. The work of water-saving irrigation should be regarded as a system of engineering integrated with several technologies including planning and designing, product manufacturing, agronomic knowledge, service management and so on. New technologies relevant to water supply, water delivery and water distribution were introduced, and their development trend in the 21st century was described. The problems that need to be observed, analyzed and solved were also proposed from the systems engineering viewpoint of water-saving irrigation. |
Transactions of the Chinese Society for Agriculture Machinery (CSAM), in charged of China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), sponsored by CSAM and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Science(CAAMS), started publication in 1957. It is the earliest interdisciplinary journal in Chinese which combines agricultural and engineering. It always closely grasps the development direction of agriculture engineering disciplines and the published papers represent the highest academic level of agriculture engineering in China. Currently, nearly 8,000 papers have been already published. There are around 3,000 papers contributed to the journal each year, but only around 600 of them will be accepted. Transactions of CSAM focuses on a wide range of agricultural machinery, irrigation, electronics, robotics, agro-products engineering, biological energy, agricultural structures and environment and more. Subjects in Transactions of the CSAM have been embodied by many internationally well-known index systems, such as: EI Compendex, CA, CSA, etc.
