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 control. Published four times a year, the Journal is a
prestigious peer-reviewed publication and enables ICID to accomplish its
objectives of publishing original papers on scientific, engineering,
environmental and socio-economic issues associated with irrigation and
drainage in a clear, concise and uniform style that is easily understood by
an international audience.

ICID has for half a century, been the main forum for the global
dissemination of experience and new ideas in the quest for the sustainable
use and protection of water and land to meet the World's increasing demand
for food and fibre.

SCOPE

Human intervention in the control of water for sustainable agricultural
development involves the application of technology and management approaches
to: 

(i) provide the appropriate quantities of water when it is needed by the
crops, 
(ii) prevent salinisation and water-logging of the root zone,
(iii) protect land from floods, and
(iv) maximise the beneficial use of water by appropriate allocation,
conservation and reuse.

All this has to be achieved within a framework of economic, social and
environmental constraints. The Journal, therefore, covers a wide range of
subjects, advancement in which, through high quality papers in the Journal,
will make a significant contribution to the enormous task of satisfying the
needs of the worldıs ever-increasing population.
