Estimation of groundwater inflow to irrigation drains in Minia, Upper Egypt, based on a deuterium and oxygen-18 evaporation pan technique

چکیده
Abstract The possibility of estimating groundwater inflow to irrigation drains in Minia, Egypt, using stable isotopes has been explored. The evaporation pan technique described here makes use of small variations in the concentration of naturally occurring stable isotopes (oxygen-18 and deuterium) in irrigation-fed groundwater and surface water as well as agricultural drainage water. The agreement between the stable isotope pan experiments carried out at Minia with others conducted at different locations in Egypt makes it feasible to estimate the inflow of groundwater to be about 42% of the total drainage water.

One of the most important componenets of water management in farms is estimating crops’ exact amount of evapotranspiration (water need). The FAO-Penman-Montheis (FPM) method is a standard method to evaluate other techniques which are used for easy calculation of potential evapotranspiration, when lysimeter datasheets are not available. This study was carried out based on 18 years’ climatic dat...

Water inflow is one of the most important challenges in the underground excavations. In addition to inducing working conditions and environmental problems, it decreases the stability and quality of the surrounding rocks. The direct method of measuring rock mass hydraulic conductivity consists of drilling the boreholes and observing the rate of fluid lost in the boreholes. Applying this method i...
