“Principles of Irrigation Engineering” is a 1913 work by F. T. Bioletti on the subject of irrigation methods, dealing with canals, dams, storage, water supple, dry land, and related law. Frederic Theodore Bioletti (1865 – 1939) was an English-born American vintner. He studied at the University of California, Berkeley from 1889 to 1900, where he worked with prominent soil scientist Professor E.W. Hilgard. His work with Hilgard on the fermentation of wines under different conditions were significant in helping California vintners to refine their wine production practices and improving the resulting wines. Bioletti was the first chair of the Department of Viticulture and Enology and founded the grape breeding program at the University of California Agricultural Experiment Station. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in irrigation techniques, and their history and development in particular. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

The application of limited amounts of water to plants at required intervals is known as irrigation. It helps in the growth of crops and in maintaining landscapes. It also plays a vital role in re-vegetating the disturbed soils in dry areas. The branch of engineering which deals with harnessing and controlling the water which is obtained from natural sources and distributing it for agricultural purposes is known as irrigation engineering. There are various types of irrigation methods such as micro-irrigation, drip irrigation, and sprinkler or overhead irrigation. Micro-irrigation uses a piped network to distribute water under low pressure. Drip irrigation is a system that drops water directly at the plant's roots. Sprinkler or overhead irrigation is a system where water is piped to the central locations within the field and distributed by high-pressure overhead sprinklers. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of irrigation engineering. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this textbook.

The irrigation water is considered as the essential input for crop production. Over exploitation of natural water resources has caused a menace for the future human generations. The depletion of underground water table in high productivity areas and under utilization of the water resources in rain fed areas of the country, poor irrigation efficiency and high seepage losses from conveyance system, poor land development and mismanagement of the irrigation water resources has acquired alarming proportions. As the share of water for agriculture in future is going to reduce, there will be tremendous pressure to produce more per drop of water in order to meet the food and other requirements of burgeoning population of the country. The existing irrigation water resources are not utilized judiciously and their mismanagement has lead to problems like low production efficiency, salinization, water logging and degradation of land. To manage these problems and increase the production efficiency of irrigation, it is pertinent to adopt judicious methods of irrigation water use, by efficient on-farm irrigation management based on scientific approach. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge of available soil moisture and its constants, scheduling and quality of irrigation water and proper drainage techniques is crucial. This manual on irrigation engineering is an attempt to fulfil this urgent need as it covers all major aspects of irrigation water management. Although, manual is meant primarily for the students of agricultural universities, yet it will provide valuable basic information and guide to the scientific community and field functionaries.
