Remarks are based on observations of site characteristics, and analysis of field data for the Moghan Irrigation Project, as a part of the Mill and Moghan Project constructed jointly between Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan (a former Soviet Union republic).born digitalproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
