Irrigation Efficiencies in Producing Calories and Proteins:An Annotated Bibliography,

摘要

This annotated bibliography,of 704references,is an important by-product of our water research project entitled: 'The Economic Efficiency of Water Used to Produce Calories and Protein in California.'The focus of the project is on the use of distributed water for the production of food crops which are eventually converted to human inputs of calories (energy) and proteins (growth-energy). When measured in calorie-protein terms,the questions are raised as to which crops are most nutritious,and which are most efficiently produced relative to distributed water used. This compilation of references represents a thorough search of the literature related to various aspects of these questions.
