Irrigated Agriculture and Regional Environment in the Tarim River Watershed

Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in Agriculture- and Effluent-dominated Waterways of the Lower Sacramento River Watershed

Controlling nitrate leaching in irrigated agriculture.

The impact of improved irrigation and nutrient practices on ground water quality was assessed at the Nebraska Management System Evaluation Area using ground water quality data collected from 16 depths at 31 strategically located multilevel samplers three times annually from 1991 to 1996. The site was sectioned into four 13.4-ha management fields: (i) a conventional furrow-irrigated corn (Zea ma...

Hybrid Regional Flood Analysis in the Namak Lake Watershed

Regional Flood Frequency Analysis (RFFA) is an efficient method in flood discharge estimation in ungauged watersheds or with short-term statistics. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the hybrid method in RFFA and maximum flood discharge estimation in the Namak Lake watershed, Iran. For this purpose, 16 hydrometric stations were selected. The selected hydrometric stations were then ...
