Irrigation Scheduling Simulation: The Model Isareg

  • Chapter
Tools for Drought Mitigation in Mediterranean Regions

Part of the book series: Water Science and Technology Library ((WSTL,volume 44))

Abstract

This paper presents the new Windows version of the irrigation scheduling simulation model ISAREG. It describes the main features of the model, data requirements, simulation options, basic calculation procedures, and approaches used to scheduling irrigations for drought water scarcity. The main windows for handling the model are shown. including those for presentation of results.
