In the study, Drainmod model was used to compare measured water table depth fluctuations on the farm with those simulated by the model, also comparison of measured drainage outflow of the farm drains and model simulated was investigated. This study was made in a part of the Irrigation and Drainage Network of ABADAN Date palms. By statistical analysis of the measured and predicted water table de...

Riparian buffers are a proven practice for removing NO from overland flow and shallow groundwater. However, in landscapes with artificial subsurface (tile) drainage, most of the subsurface flow leaving fields is passed through the buffers in drainage pipes, leaving little opportunity for NO removal. We investigated the feasibility of re-routing a fraction of field tile drainage as subsurface fl...

estimate of sediment load is required in a wide spectrum of water resources engineering problems. the nonlinear nature of suspended sediment load series necessitates the utilization of nonlinear methods to simulate the suspended sediment load. in this study artificial neural networks (anns) are employed to estimate daily suspended sediment load. two different ann algorithms, multi layer percept...

doruntash ancient city )tchoghazanbil( was built about13 th century b.c and middle period of elam civilization. as a complex ,doruntash was protected by three concentrated walls which are named: inner wall, middle wall and outer wall .big ziggurat ,mausoleums and palaces are some of the must monuments of the ancient city .tchoghazanbil is also famous for its water technologies and water element...

Despite the use of best management practices for nitrogen (N) application rate and timing, significant losses of nitrate nitrogen (NO3(-)-N) in drainage discharge continue to occur from row crop cropping systems. Our objective was to determine whether a autumn-seeded winter rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop following corn (Zea mays L.) would reduce NO3(-)-N losses through subsurface tile drain...

Egypt is facing a water scarcity problem; it is a must to reuse drainage water to substitute this deficit between supply and demand. Also the drainage water is polluted and needs to be purified before reusing it. Therefore an approach is proposed herein to reuse the flow discharge of El Rahawy Drain that drains its water to Rosetta Branch (the second most polluted drain in Egypt) and convey its...

This study addresses the excessive consumption of river basin water from the Poyang Lake area in China. Consumption of water for irrigation, together with the discharge of agricultural non-point source pollution, is seriously affecting the water quality of Poyang Lake. This study assesses the application of integrated ecological restoration technology for agricultural non-point source pollution...

Measuring sensitivity of hydraulic structures is considered as an approach for evaluation of water projects performance, due to lower distribution efficiency in Irrigation and Drainage project schemes. Sensitivity analysis approach for irrigation structures is one of flow analysis methods which are developed in recent years in order to measure the behavior of flow in hydraulic structures in an ...
