Eco Drainage System for Surface Runoff Reduction in Indonesia

Survey of surface runoff quality in Zahedan for irrigation usage

Background & Aim: Urban runoff is one of the most valuable and renewable water resources in many arid and semi-arid parts of the world. Understanding how to use these resources is very important. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical, chemical and biological properties of surface runoff in Zahedan for irrigation uses. Methods: The present work was a descriptive cross-sectiona...

Hydraulic conductivity measurment for subsurface drainage system

Approximating phosphorus release from soils to surface runoff and subsurface drainage.

Phosphorus application in excess of crop needs has increased the concentration of P in surface soil and runoff and led many states to develop P-based nutrient management strategies. However, insufficient data are available relating P in surface soil, surface runoff, and subsurface drainage to develop sound guidelines. Thus, we investigated P release from the surface (0-5 cm depth) of a Denbigh ...

Performance evaluation of green roofs in urban runoff reduction

Urbanism directly affects the hydrological cycle. One of the ways to manage runoffs in urban areas that is considered nowadays is green roof creation. Green roof is mainly created in humid and semi-humid areas, and efficiency of green roofs in arid and semi-arid areas has attracted less attention. In the current study, to evaluate the effect of green roof in arid and semi-arid to reduce runoff,...

Antibiotic losses in runoff and drainage from manure-applied fields

The objective of this research is to quantify the effects of liquid swine manure application on antibiotic and nutrient (N and P) losses via surface runoff and subsurface drainage under a conventional (moldboard plowing) and a conservation (chisel plowing) tillage system. The field experiment is set up at the University of Minnesota Southwest Research and Outreach Center, Lamberton, Minnesota. ...
