    1. FAU conference, CBS, 14-15 May 2008 Crop water use under urban conditions Chistian R. Jensen Department of Agricultural Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen

    3. ET from soil water balance method ET=I + P- RO- DP+ CR± ?SF ± ?SW I=irrigation P=precipitation RO= Surface runoff (often large under urban conditions, could be used for water harvesting) DP=deep percolation CR=capillary rise ?SF=surface flow ?SW=change in soil water content over time

    7. Water savings using different irrigation method

    8. Sprinkler irrigation

    11. Drip irrigation system

    12. Container yards in nurseries

    15. Container yards: Assessment of irrigation methods ++ very good; +good; -bad; --very bad (After: Nielsen 2002)

    17. Potential water saving in agriculture: Conveyance (22%); Irrigation Scheduling (10%), Deficit irr. (10%), Waste water (10%) (After EU Water saving potential, 2007)

    21. Evaporation on a typical Nordic summer day Energy in radiation 20000 kJ m-2 For evaporation, 40 % 8000 kJ m-2 Heat of evaporation of water 2450 kJ kg-1 Evaporated water 8000/2450 = 3.3 kg m-2 or 33 tons ha-2 Corresponding to 0.0033 m3 / m-2 = 3.3 mm Potentiel evaporation, max 6-7 mm day-1 Common evaporation 3- 5 mm dag-1

    23. Measurement of ET from pan evaporation Measurement of precipitation by rain gauge

    24. ETr from Penman-Monteith equation (Monteith 1971)

    26. Max root zone capacity, mm

    30. System water supply claim m3/ha/hr for different % of coverage and daily precipitation deficit

    31. Take home message Due to dwindling municipal water resources better water management needed by: Utilizing water havesting of surface runoff water after filtering Precision irrigation and fertigation, Measurement of soil water content to control irrigation

    32. Ongoing projects at KU/AU Danish Research Counsil:Project : SJVF project 1.9 mill kr. Starting 15/9/04-2009 Physiological basis for improving water use efficiency in crop plants under ‘partial root zone drying (PRD)’ irrigation strategy. Strawberries – New irrigation Techniques (PRD-irrigation) for Better Tast , Quality Keeping and Reducing Pesticide and Water Use. ‘Direktoratet for FødevareErhverv, DFFE. Funding 1.977.345,- kr for 1/1 2007-31/12/2010 Coop project between Research Centre Årslev, Århus University and the Applicant. New Irrigation Schemes. Responsible for Partner 3 UoC Faculty of Life Sciences activities (8 mill kr.) in the SAFIR:EU-project. Safe and High Quality Food Production using Low Quality Waters and improved Irrigation System and Management (Contract No.: 023168 SAFIR) 1/10/2005-31/9/2009. 17 partners 55 mill kr. SWUP-MED: EU-project. Sustainable Water Use Securing Food Production in Dry Areas of the Mediterranean Region. 1/7/2008-31/6/2012. Coordinator S.-E. Jacobsen; EU project with 10 partners, DK IJV KU-Life participants Fulai Liu, C.R. Jensen. Total budget 24 mill kr.
