Vijay P. Singh is University Distinguished Professor, Regents Professor, and Caroline and William N. Lehrer Distinguished Chair in Water Engineering at Texas A&M University. To date, he has published more than 1370 journal articles, 120 books, and 113 book chapters in hydrology, groundwater, hydraulics, irrigation, pollutant transport, copulas, entropy, and water resources. He has received more than 100 national and international awards, and is past President of the American Institute of Hydrology (AIH) and the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers (AAWRE). Qiong Su is based in the Water Management and Hydrological Science Program at Texas A&M University. She is a member of American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU). She received several travel awards, graduate student scholarships, and an outstanding contributions in reviewing award. She has published peer-reviewed papers in the areas of hydrology, water quality, irrigation, water-energy nexus, and water resources. She was a teaching assistant for the irrigation engineering course at Texas A&M.

'Irrigation Engineering by Singh and Su does a great job in covering the wide array of topics that are needed in the field in a way that is both accessible and rigorous. Inclusion of key reference tables and charts as well as worked examples are useful for both learning concepts and implementing designs.' Stephen P. Good, Oregon State University
