Transportation of Cities' Colorado River Water in the Salt River Project's Canal System
Cities in the Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area have contracted with the Central Arizona Water Conservation District to take delivery of Colorado River water. Many of their water treatment...

Impact of Farming Systems on Water Quality in Iowa
Increased detection of nitrate and pesticides in surface and ground water has prompted concern about the impact of farming systems on water quality. A number of studies have been incorporated...

Irrigation Management to Control Sediment Pollution
Unchecked serious irrigation erosion occurs on 20% or 10+ million irrigated acres in the U.S. It may cause water use impairment from sediment pollution. Serious erosion in many areas can...

SRFR?A Model of Surface Irrigation?Version 20
The computer program, SRFR, comprises a mathematical model of flow in furrows, basins, and borders. It is designed for systematic, repeated application in the solution of design and management...

Optimization of Furrow Infiltration Parameters from Advance Times and Advance Rates
Optimal design and management of surface irrigation systems requires detailed knowledge of field-wide infiltration. Evaluating infiltration parameters is difficult due to temporal and...

Heavy Metal Transport in the Columbia River, British Columbia
Data on the total forms of selected metals were used to assess their concentrations at two sampling sites on the Canadian Columbia River from 1984 to 1989. Cadmium, the response variable...

Overview of the Ohio Management Systems Evaluation Area
The Ohio Buried Valley Aquifer Management System Evaluation Area (Ohio MSEA) project is part of a regional study developed to investigate the effects of farming systems on productivity,...

Phosphorus Transport from Delaware's Rural Watershed
Phosphorus loads were estimated for 62 watersheds. Major land uses in the watersheds were cropland and forestland. Annual phosphorus loads varied from 0.42 to 1.19 kg/ha. Watersheds with...

Tributary Pollutant Effects in the Urban Stream Network
With considering unsteady flow and backwater effects, a linear water quality model is developed based on the finite difference approximation. The model is composed to two components which...

History of Irrigation Water Development in Hawaii
Hawaii has a rich heritage of irrigated agriculture from the time of the first Polynesian settlers to the present. Following the ancient stream diversions by Hawaiians, sugar planters...

Imperial Irrigation District Water Conservation
Imperial Irrigation District (IID) and Metropolitan Water District (MWD) have entered into a Water Conservation Agreement to conserve 106, 110 acre-feet (1.31 ? 10⁸...

Flexible Supply Schedule Missing Link for Effective Surface Irrigation and Automation
Surface irrigation methods - furrow and border-strip are generally thought of as being inefficient and labor intensive. Careful evaluations have shown that as methods they can be very...

Plugging Evaluation in the Re-Use of Sewage Effluent by Drip Irrigation
Primary and secondary effluent can be reused for irrigation by a drip system. When a proper lateral line with an emitter size of 0.75 mm is selected, the plugging can be maintained at...

Effects of Drainage on Water, Sediment and Biota
The U.S. Department of the Interior started a program in 1985 to identify effects of irrigation-induced trace constituents in water, bottom sediment and biota. The program was developed...

Effects of Wastewater Irrigation on Aqueous Geochemistry
A comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of a full-scale, operating overland flow (OLF) land treatment system was made of the Campbell Soup, Inc. OLF system in Paris, Texas....

Impact of Grid Orientation on Groundwater Contaminant Transport Modeling Using the U.S.G.S. MOC Model
The U.S.G.S. method of characteristics (MOC) model was enhanced to include the input of measured contaminant concentrations, the calculation of computed and measured contaminant plume...

Testing a Method-of-Characteristics Model of Three-Dimensional Solute Transport in Ground Water
A new three-dimensional model of solute transport in groundwater that is based on a widely used two-dimensional method of characteristics model and is coupled to a modular finite-difference...

Optimization of a Municipal Ground Water Production System in North-Central Oklahoma
A management model is being developed to optimize the municipal groundwater production system which supplies drinking water for the City of Enid, Oklahoma. The system is comprised of one...

Conjunctive Use of Surface Water and Groundwater Management
A mathematical model is presented for conjunctive management of connected surface and groundwater systems. The groundwater module is based on the linear, two-dimensional, horizontal flow...

Monthly Conjunctive Allocation of Water Resources for Eastern Arkansas
The objective is development and use of a conjunctive water resource model as part of a hierarchical approach. In this case, this program is developed to determine the monthly allocation...
