Irrigation Lettuce with Buried Drip, Surface Drip, and Furrow Irrigation: Spatial Variability of Plants, Soil, and Water
Spatial variability of plant growth, soil, and water was investigated for a furrow, surface drip, and subsurface drip irrigation systems. Variability was analyzed by sampling plant weight,...

Irrigating Lettuce with Buried Drip, Surface Drip, and Furrow Irrigation Systems: Overall Performance
Groundwater nitrate contamination is a major concern in the Salinas Valley of California. The source of much of the nitrate appears to be vegetable production in the valley. A field-scale...

Overview of the Department of the Interior's National Irrigation Water Quality Program
The Department of the Interior National Irrigation Water Quality Program was started in 1985 in response to concerns about contamination of water, bottom sediment and biota in National...

Selenium in Soil, Water, Sediment, and Biota of the Lower Sun River Area, West-Central Montana
A U.S. Department of the Interior study started in 1990 examined the source, movement, fate, and possible biological effects of selenium associated with irrigation drainage from the Sun...

Distribution and Mobilization of Dissolved Selenium in Ground Water of the Irrigated Grand and Uncompahgre Valleys, Western Colorado
Distribution of dissolved selenium in ground water of the irrigated Grand and Uncompahgre Valleys is affected by the aqueous geochemical environment of the shallow ground-water system...

Planning for Remediation of Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems in the Middle Green River Basin, Utah
Reconnaissance investigations and detailed studies between 1986-1990 under the National Irrigation Water Quality Program of the Department of the Interior identified and quantified elevated...

Testing of Outlet Works Emergency (Guard) Gates Under Unbalanced Head Conditions ? Background and History
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has responsibility for ensuring the proper operation, maintenance, and safety of over 300 dams and reservoirs throughout the 17 Western States. Storage of...

Development of Test Procedures for Unbalanced Head Operation of Slide Gates
This paper will discuss the steps taken by the Bureau of Reclamation to develop a standardized procedure for testing unbalanced head operation of high-pressure slide gates for outlet works...

Testing Outlet Works Gates and Valves at USBR Dams Under Unbalanced-Head Conditions: Tieton Dam Unbalanced-Head Gate Test
The Tieton Dam outlet works installation geometry is the most common type used in U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) earthfill dams. An emergency guard gate is located in a gate chamber...

Testing Outlet Works Gates and Valves at USBR Dams Under Unbalanced Head Conditions: Close-coupled Guard and Regulating Gates at Yellowtail and Flaming Gorge Dam
Part of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) program for unbalanced testing of outlet works guard gates and valves at its dams involves testing facilities with 'close-coupled' guard and...

AGWATER?
The AGWATER computer program is an interactive learning, teaching, and pre-season evaluation tool regarding agricultural irrigation. It combines the concepts of irrigation scheduling,...

Furrow Irrigation Education
A furrow irrigation simulation computer model based on the volume-balance method is described. The model is used to develop information on furrow system performance that can be used in...

Optimal Commands in Border Irrigation Systems
Optimal command areas and level border irrigation design parameters are obtained for a given available seasonal water supply using a dynamic programming (DP) optimization approach. The...

IRRICAD ? Computerized Irrigation Design
IRRICAD is a software program that helps irrigation designers by using a computerized systems approach to design. The program features drawing CAD input, interpolation of elevation data,...

An Irrigation Allocation Planning Model
An irrigation allocation model using multiperiod linear programming was developed to recommend canal water allocation among different irrigated fields to maximize net annual benefits for...

A Flexible Expert System Based Typology of Irrigation System Types
This paper describes an approach developed to classify irrigation systems into categories. It discusses the general problem of developing a typology of irrigation systems and proposes...

Development of a Hydrological Database for PROSIM?A Water Rights-Based Operational Simulation Model of the Provo River
The development of a hydrological database for a computer model of the hydrology, water rights, and operations of the Provo and Weber rivers is described. The model uses all pertinent...

FLUME 3.0: A Computer Program for Designing Flumes and Weirs
Long-throated flumes and broad-crested weirs are becoming the preferred measuring devices for use in irrigation canals. A computer program for calibrating these flumes and weirs has been...

BASIN 2.0 for the Design of Level-Basin Irrigation Systems
The purpose of this paper is to present a computer program for the hydraulic design of level-basin irrigation systems. The first of three design modes provides design based on the advance...
