Crop evapotranspiration : guidelines for computing crop water requirements
Allen Richard G.; Pereira Luis S.; Raes Dirk; et al. - FAO, 1998 (FAO irrigation and drainage paper-No. 56)This publication presents an updated procedure for calculating reference and crop evapotranspiration from meteorological data and crop coefficients. The procedure, first presented in FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper No. 24, Crop water requirements, in 1977, allows estimation of the amount of water used by a crop, taking into account the effect of the climate and the crop characteristics. The publication incorporates advances in research and more accurate procedures for determining crop water use as recommended by a panel of high-level experts organized by FAO in May 1990. The first part of th ...

Living marine resources and their sustainable development : some environmental and institutional perspectives
Caddy J.F.; Griffiths R.C.; Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) - FAO, 1995 (FAO Fisheries technical paper-No. 353)This document provides a broad perspective on issues related to living marine resources, their environment and management in the post-UNCED context provided by Agenda 21 and the Cancun Conference. The document begins with a sectorial discussion of sustainable development of living resources of nearshore and estuarine, semi-enclosed seas, coastal and shelf waters, the high seas and Antarctic waters. Constraints on harvesting, impacts of marine pollution, and potentials for further development of resources are addressed. Each section concludes with a discussion of elements that can be included i ...
