Abstract
Preventing irrigation-induced erosion takes on a special importance because of the indispensable role
irrigated agriculture plays in feeding and clothing humanity. Irrigation is one of humanity's most potent
weapons in the war against starvation and one of the best strategies for preserving earth's remaining
undisturbed environments while meeting human food and fiber needs.
