management on the Texas HighPlains. The authors explain irrigation
water use efficiency concepts and
how moisture deficits and crop stress
are dealt with in irrigation
scheduling.
Research results on precipitation

practices, are given. Also, furrow and
sprinkler irrigation systems are
extensively reviewed. A summary of
research results from water manage-
ment concepts and practices for the
