Background: Pain due to spinal stenosis is one of the major causes of low back pain, and it sometimes does not respond to conservative treatment. We postulated that anterior epidural irrigation could be a good choice for treating lumbar spinal stenosis patients. However, the effects and theoretical basis of anterior epidural irrigation have not been investigated for spinal stenosis. So, this study was designed to identify the clinical efficacy of anterior epidural irrigation for treating lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: 71 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis underwent anterior epidural irrigation. Anterior epidural irrigation was performed with normal saline and a mixture of local anesthetic with steroid through a catheter under fluoroscopic guidance. The findings were evaluated with using visual analogue scales for low back pain and leg symptoms. Results: Relief from low back pain and leg pain was observed for up to 12 months after anterior epidural irrigation. None of the patients showed any deterioration of their motor or sensory deficits during follow up. Conclusions: Anterior epidural irrigation is effective for the relief of back and leg pain in spinal stenosis patients.

In agricultural systems, significant amount of energy is consumed during irrigation periods. Therefore operating irrigation systems with electrical energy produced by solar energy is very important. It is be possible to operate irrigation systems which have small-pump power like drip-irrigation with electrical energy produced by solar energy. Electrical energy produced by photovoltaic panels can vary from the estimated value due to environmental factors. Consequently analysis of a real system's performance is important. Thus, more correct projections can be made for the systems which will be designed. In this study, induction motor-pump mechanism for drip-irrigation system is operated with photovoltaic generator. Solar energy capacity of the established system is evaluated by measurements in irrigation periods. By means of simulations, power values produced by system and gained from the actual system are compared. Additionally the performance of induction motor is analyzed with the help of the driver system that increases the efficiency and controls the motor. As regards of results, design values of the drip-irrigation systems fed with solar energy in Southeastern Anatolian Regions of Turkey are obtained. Performance results of induction motor controlled with driver are also provided.

본 연구에서는 육묘장에서 인력 또는 관행 자동관수장치의 활용도 조사를 통해 관수장치의 문제점과 그 개선점을 파악하여 균일관수가 가능한 스마트 관수장치를 개발하고 그 성능을 분석하였다. 자동관수와 인력관수의 평균 관수량은 각각 28.7±4.4g과 14.2±4.3g으로 두 조건 모두 변동계수가 30% 이내로 균일관수로 판단할 수 있다. 그렇지만 변동계수가 30%인 인력관수에 비해 자동관수는 15%로 균일도가 높았다. 개발된 균일관수장치에 탑재된 분사각이 80°인 노즐은 이론상 600mm 높이에서 가장 균일한 것으로 분석되었고, 균일관수 장치를 이용한 관수시험 결과 중앙부의 관수 균일도는 평균 대비 20% 이내이지만 가장자리부는 중앙부에 비해 50% 이상 관수량이 적었다. 균일관수장치를 활용한 토마토 접목묘 재배시험 결과, 시험기간 10일간 중앙부는 초장이 평균 72mm 생장한 데 비해 가장자리부는 평균 28mm 생장하여 가장자리부에 대한 추가 관수가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 가장자리부 추가 관수장치를 부착하여 관수할 경우 중앙부에 비해 가장자리부의 관수량은 50% 이상이었으며, 중앙부에서는 분사각의 겹침으로 인하여 관수량의 차이는 발생하였으나, 그 차이는 30% 이내였다. 가장자리 집중관수 시스템 활용 시 각 지점별 생장 차이는 있으나, 10일간 생육을 비교하면 양측 가장자리의 평균 생장률은 24%, 중앙부의 평균 생장률은 26%인 점을 고려하면 균일관수장치에 비해 생장 균일도가 높았다. 모종의 초장 균일도 향상을 위해서는 관수장치의 진행방향에 거리센서를 설치하여 작물의 생장에 따라 관수장치의 높이를 조절이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The smart irrigation system using ICT technology is crucial for stable production of upland crops. The objective of this study was to develop a smart irrigation system that can control soil water, depending on irrigation methods, in order to improve crop production. In surface irrigation, three irrigation methods (sprinkler irrigation (SI), surface drip irrigation (SDI), and fountain irrigation (FI)) were installed on a crop field. The soil water contents were measured at 10, 20, 30, and 40 cm depth, and an automatic irrigation system controls a valve to maintain the soil water content at 10 cm to be 30%. In subsurface drip irrigation (SSDI), the drip lines were installed at a depth of 20 cm. Controlled drainage system (CDS) was managed with two ground water level (30 cm and 60 cm). The seasonal irrigation amounts were 96.4 ton/10a (SDI), 119.5 ton/10a (FI), and 113 ton/10a (SI), respectively. Since SDI system supplied water near the root zone of plants, the water was saved by 23.9% and 17.3%, compared with FI and SI, respectively. In SSDI, the mean soil water content was 38.8%, which was 10.8% higher than the value at the control treatment. In CDS, the water contents were greatly affected by the ground water level; the water contents at the surface zone with 30 cm ground water level was 9.4% higher than the values with 60 cm ground water level. In conclusion, this smart irrigation system can reduce production costs of upland crops.

Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, one of the representative small rain regions, has developed a traditional irrigation farming system while overcoming and adapting to unfavorable agricultural environments from the days of the ancient nation of Jomunguk to the present. In 2018, its value was recognized and designated as Nationally Important Agricultural Heritage System No. 10. This study was conducted with the purpose of examining the characteristics of the traditional irrigation farming system in Uiseong from the viewpoints of irrigation facilities, irrigation communities, and agricultural activities. The research results are as follows. Uiseong-gun has been expanding irrigation facilities for agriculture since long ago, and it has been investigated that a total of 6,227 irrigation facilities are currently distributed along the Wicheon water system that crosses Uiseong-gun from east to west. Irrigation facilities appear differently depending on the topography. The irrigation facility has a 'su-tong' as an irrigation passage and a corkscrew structure 'mot-tchong' as a water quantity control device, so the amount of water was adjusted as needed. Through this facility, surface water with warmer temperature is supplied to the farmland to prevent cold damage to crops. Uiseong has developed activities to organize irrigation communities in one village or several villages to secure agricultural water from an early age. Currently, this tradition continues, and a total of 213 irrigation communities manage 375 irrigation facilities (6.0% of all irrigation facilities). Through this organization, called Mong-ri-gye, water for agriculture is obtained, managed, and distributed equitably. In order to increase agricultural production, Uiseong implemented double cropping by converting rice fields and fields. In the case of Mt. Geumseong, double cropping of rice and barley was mainly carried out until the 1970s, but since the 1980s, double cropping of rice and garlic has been implemented with higher income. One of the unique features of the agricultural system of this region is the spectacular landscape that changes simultaneously from field to rice field in spring and from rice field to field in autumn.

The objectives of this study were to monitor and assess the effects of saline irrigation water on lettuce and carrot growth in protected cultivation. One control and 4 treatments with three replications, which were differentiated according to the level of salinity in irrigated water, were employed for each vegetable to assess the effects of the irrigation with saline water. Monitoring results showed that the use of irrigation water containing above a certain level of salinity was found to cause excessive accumulation of salts in the soil as saline irrigation water increased electrical conductivity (EC) and sodium ($Na^+$) content in both lettuce and carrot soil samples, while tap water irrigation used as control decreased the salinity in the samples. The salinity higher than the threshold level of irrigation water was found to reduce the yields of lettuce and carrot, while in less than the threshold level the higher the salinity of the irrigation water increased the yields. The salinity of the irrigation water also appeared to increase the internal salinity of the plant as the $Na^+$ content in plant increased as the salinity of irrigation water increase. Increased $Na^+$ content was analyzed to be able to increase the sugar content in carrot. This study could contribute to suggest water quality criteria for safe use of saline water in protected cultivation, although long-term monitoring is needed to get more representative results.

This research was performed to test the hypothesis that the optimal fertilization rate for red pepper is changed by soil moisture condition. The experiment was conducted in rainfall-intercepted fields in Suwon, South Korea from 2002 to 2003. Soil was irrigated at 30, 50, or 80 kPa of soil moisture tension at 20 cm soil depth in 2002 and 30, 50, 100, or 150 kPa in 2003. For both years, fertilization was performed with four levels: none, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 times of the recommended N, P, and K fertilization rate. The irrigation amount was the greatest at 30 kPa irrigation while the water use efficiency increased with decrease of irrigation amount. The Irrigation amount was 508 mm at 30 kPa irrigation and ranged from 355 mm to 435 mm at 50 kPa irrigation. The maximum yield was found at 30 kPa irrigation and 1.5 times of the recommend fertilization rate in 2002 and 2003. The yield index of red pepper increased linearly with the fertilization rate at 30 kPa which implied that excess irrigation induced nutrient leaching and reduced nutrient availability. The maximum yield in 50 kPa and 80 kPa was found at the recommend fertilization rate while the yield decreased by fertilization at 100 kPa and 150 kPa irrigation. It implies that reduction of fertilization is the feasible practice to mitigate drought stress in fields without stable irrigation resources.

There was a transition from participatory irrigation management (PIM) to public irrigation management (PubIM) in Korea when Korea Rural corporation and Community (KRC) merged with Farm Land Improvement Associations (FLIAs), which had managed 60 % of irrigation areas. While making a number of achievements, some problems occurred in the public irrigation management, such as lack of farmers' participation, increased amount of water usage, and elevating operating costs. Accordingly, this paper suggested ways to increase efficiency in water usage and reduce operating costs under the public management through the motive power of farmers participation. First, WUGs replaced the discarded water management committee should be reorganized to revive the concept of PIM in the form of autonomously reinforced one and the roles and functions of WUGs and the board of representatives should be strengthened. The member of new type of WUGs should participate in the national and regional water management committees as a stakeholder of irrigation water user. And also new type of WUGs initiates not only the management of irrigation water but also the management of irrigation water quality and non-point source pollution in the watersheds. Those additional activities of WUGs should be properly compensated. Second, subsidies (direct payments) should be provided to faithful farmers as an incentive for their labor supply. Third, water fees could be charged to large scale agriculture companies. Fourth, professional managers could be hired, management targets would be adjusted, and incentives should be offered. These efforts are expected to improve the irrigation management by encouraging farmers' participation under public system.

Kentucky bluegrass 는 경기장과 골프장의 Tee 나 Fairway 등에 가장 많이 사용이 되는 한지형잔디 초종중의 하나이다. 그러나 Kentucky bluegrass 는 뿌리층이 얕고 그늘에 약한 단점들이 있다. Kentucky bluegrass 의 가장 큰 단점중의 하나는 성장을 위해 수분이 많이 요구되는 초종이다. 올바른 수분관리는 잔디의 시각적 색감과 품질을 유지하기 위해 아주 중요한 요소중의 하나이다. 잔디의 성장을 위해 수분을 공급하는 관수 방법에는 light and frequent (LI) 적은양을 빈번하게 관수하는 방법과, deep and infrequent (DI) 많은양을 필요시에 공급하는 두가지의 방법이 있다. 본 실험은 Kentucky bluegrass 의 생육을 위한 관수빈도의 차이를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 실험을 위해 무관수, 매주 4회, 그리고 매주 1회의 3가지 관수방법이 사용되었다. 무관수 처리구의 경우 인위적인 관수는 수행되지 않았으며 Kentucky bluegrass 의 생육을 위해 수분공급은 강수량에 의해서만 이루어졌다. 본 실험결과 2011년 기상조건하에서 강우량에 의존한 무관수는 7,8 월에 최소수용품질을 나타내기 어렵다고 판단되며, 관수빈도에 따른 Kentucky bluegrass 생육의 차이는 나타나지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
