IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE
Irrigation and Drainage is the official journal of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID). The objectives of the ICID are to advance the science and art of irrigation, drainage and flood management. Irrigation and Drainage is a prestigious peer-reviewed publication and enables ICID to accomplish its objectives of publishing original papers on scientific, engineering and socio-economic issues associated with irrigation, drainage and flood management in a clear, concise and uniform style that is easily understood by an international audience. ICID has more than sixty years of experience in the promotion and transfer of water and land management technology and related issues.
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 2011 impact factor was 0.552.
Articles for Irrigation and Drainage have to be uploaded in the Manuscript Central System of Wiley-Blackwell. The address is: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1531-0361. The web site contains all relevant information with respect to Irrigation and Drainage, including authors instructions.
2nd
Best Performing ICID Workbody Award, 2008
The
Best Performing Workbody Award (BPWA) was instituted by ICID in 2002.
The performance of a workbody is adjudged based upon a set of criteria

occasion of the 59th IEC and 20th ICID Congress held at Lahore, Pakistan.
ICID
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

International Workshop on “Country Policies and Developments of Water for Bio-Energy and Food”
25 June 2012, Adelaide, Australia (Time 11:00 to 15:00 hrs)
Call for Papers
Theme: Country policies and developments of water for bio-energy and food”
Scope: Increasing fuel prices and the quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has triggered an interest in the development of biofuels. Biofuel production under irrigated agriculture has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This can occur by producing biofuels i.e.: fuels derived for biomass sources such as corn, soybeans, crop residues, trees and grasses, etc. Substitution of biofuels for fossil fuels has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emission significantly and provide a major source of transportation fuel. A major concern however is that pursuit of energy security through increased biofuel development could aggravate water insecurity in many parts of the world. In addition, rising demand for biofuels can provide an incentive to grow biofuels instead of staple food. The impact here would be greatest on poorer countries. The contribution of biofuels to greenhouse gas reductions will be dependent on policies, fossil fuel prices, technologies used to convert biomass to energy and per acre yield of crop. This workshop is designed to share valuable experiences/technologies from participating countries.
The authors are requested to contribute on following sub-topics:
Provide an update on the production and usage of biofuels in your country.
Discuss the potential impact of biofuel development on world water scarcity and water insecurity.
Discuss the potential biofuel production under irrigated conditions in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Discuss the potential impact of increasing biofuel demand on food production.
