Abstract
Dr. Pereira set the stage and outlined the goals for this NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Sustainability of Irrigated Agriculture. He and his co-conveners and the Portugal National Organizing Committee identified and assembled world renown irrigation specialists. The International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) family provided many participants. In their papers, participants were asked to review the state-of-the-art of the science and technology of irrigation for the readers. The primary purpose, however, is to integrate science and technology to enable improving irrigation system performance and to provide recommendations for future irrigation research. Irrigated and rainfed agriculture must be integrated to meet future food requirements. Therefore, a parallel effort is needed on water conservation and management for rainfed areas.
