IRRIGATION
AND DRAINAGE
|
|
Irrigation and Drainage plays an important role as the world struggles to meet the food demands of a rapidly growing population and problems with floods and droughts are increasingly encountered. It is a publication that directly addresses the management of water resources for agriculture and flood management. The potential impact of the Journal on the transfer of technology is large as is its potential for continued success. Formerly, it used to be published as ICID Bulletin since 1952. Its title has since been changed to ICID Journal since 1995. ICID Journal was presented in two issues upto 1998. ICID has brought out 3 issues in 1999. In 2000 the ICID Journal became a quarterly publication. Since March 2001 the Journal has been renamed as "IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE - Managing Water for Sustainable Agriculture - The Journal of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage" and is published by Wiley-Blackwell under full editorial responsibility of ICID. Since 2005 the Journal is published in five issues per year. The Journal is listed in the ISI citation index. The 2009 impact factor was 0.480. |
| Articles for Irrigation and Drainage have to be uploaded in the Manuscript Central System of Wiley-Blackwell. The address is: http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/ird. The web site contains all relevant information with respect to Irrigation and Drainage, including authors instructions. |

WORKING
GROUP ON WATER MANAGEMENT IN WATER STRESSED REGIONS (WG-DROUGHT)
(Erstwhile WG-IADWS)
Mandate
Drought
management strategies: This thematic topic mainly intends to capture field experiences
of the implementation of drought risk management strategies as far as livestock
and crop production and rural livelihood improvement are concerned.
Coping
with water scarcity: The topics to be addressed under this theme include:
Critical
evaluation of the validity of the crop water requirement computations based
on climate data as a tool to be used in coping with water scarcity; Approaches
and strategies for incorporating economical justification when deciding the
amount of water to be allocated for agricultural production; Re-defining, as
necessary, the conventional irrigation efficiency concept; and Design, operation
and maintenance of sand dams - Under-ground water reservoirs.
Rainfall management for sustainable agriculture: This topic may, at the outset, seem to be outside the scope of ICID. However, if the ultimate objective of the ICID - increasing agricultural productivity and improving rural livelihood - is to be realized, innovation and implementation of smart rainfall management technologies will be essential, since 60% of global food production comes from rainfed agriculture. Furthermore, rainfall supports extensive forest areas that significantly contribute to human and livestock livelihood and sustainability of natural ecosystems.

Journal acts as a mouthpiece to communicate to the international water
community ICID's sixty years of experience in the promotion and transfer
of water and land management technology and related issues. ICID Journal
was granted Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) starting with Vol.49,
Issue No.1 of 2000 which was the first issue of the quarterly Journal
printed and distributed under ISSN 0971-7412. ICID Journal was also selected
for coverage in Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology and Environmental
Sciences (CC/AB&ES)
The
Best Performing Workbody Award (BPWA) was instituted in 2003 to recognize
the performance of workbodies between the two Congresses. The first such
award has been given to
