This book was released on 2007 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to facilitate the planning and design of land drainage systems for sound land and water management for engineers and other professionals. It considers the integration of technical, socio-economic and environmental factors and the need for system users' participation in the planning, design, operation and maintenance processes. The text provides guidelines for the appropriate identification of drainage problems, for the planning and design of field drainage systems (surface and subsurface) and the main drainage and disposal systems. The annexes provide more detailed information with technical background, appropriate equations, some cross-references for finding appropriate methodologies, and computer programs for calculation of extreme values, of permeability and some land drainage system parameters. --Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Drainage Water Treatment, Reuse, and Disposal in the San Joaquin Valley of California, Vol. 2: Reuse and Disposal This report presents the preliminary engineering evaluations of in-valley disposal alternatives and reuse possibilities of agricultural subsurface drainage water in the San Joaquin Valley, California. Because these evaluations do not entail considerations of the institutional aspects public acceptance), total economics, and environmental impacts, the conclusions must be viewed as preliminary. This report was prepared because preliminary plans must be drafted and decisions must be made on the basis of available information. Investigations are still ongoing, so to a large degree this report should be viewed as a status report. As studies are completed and more complete information become available they will be reported in a subsequent final technical report.

Download or read book Management of Agricultural Drainage Water Quality written by Madramootoo and published by Daya Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several concerns about the sustainability of irrigation and drainage projects, many of which are related to the quality and disposal of drainage water. Inadequate drainage and improper drainage water disposal have led to land degradation due to water logging and salinity. There have been instances where saline or high nutrient drainage water has damaged aquatic ecosystems. Drainage continues to be a vital and necessary component of agricultural production systems. In order to enhance the net benefits of drainage systems, more attention will need to be given to the water quality impacts of drainage water disposal. This document identifies potential problems and management options in the development, production, treatment and disposal of agricultural drainage water.

Book excerpt: Jan van Schilfgaarde, USDA Agricultural Research Service and National Research Council Committee on Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems In 1982, a startling discovery was made. Many waterbirds in Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge were dying or suffering reproductive failure. Located in the San Joaquin Valley (Valley) of California, the Kesterson Reservoir (Kesterson) was used to store agricultural drainage water and it was soon determined that the probable cause of the damage to wildlife was high concen trations of selenium, derived from the water and water organisms in the reservoir. This discovery drastically changed numerous aspects of water management in California, and especially affected irrigated agriculture. In fact, the repercussions spilled over to much of the Western United States. For a century, water development for irrigation has been a religiously pursued means for economic development of the West. The primary objective of the Reclamation Act of 1902 was, purportedly, the development ofirrigation water to support family farms which, in turn, would enhance the regional economy (Worster, 1985).
