We present a hybrid and stand-level forest ecosystem model, DRAINMOD-FOREST, for simulating the hydrology, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics, and tree growth for drained forest lands under common silvicultural practices. The model was developed by linking DRAINMOD, the hydrological model, and DRAINMOD-N II, the soil C and N dynamics model, to a forest growth model, which was adapted mainly f...

Watershed scale hydrology and water quality models (DRAINMOD-DUFLOW, DRAINMODW, DRAINMOD-GIS and WATGIS) that describe the nitrogen loadings at the outlet of poorly drained watersheds were examined with respect to their accuracy and uncertainty in model predictions. Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) was applied to determine the impact of uncertainty in estimating field exports and decay coefficien...

The deterministic field scale model DRAINMOD was tested in an experiment on subsurface pipe drainage in the Veneto region, in an environment of NE Italy characterised by the presence of a shallow water table in a flat area. The objective was to determine whether a minimal set of field data would suffice to use DRAINMOD for predictive purposes. The measured water table depth and drain outflow fr...

The research objective was to develop field operational model control water table level at reclaimed area of tidal lowland for food crop cultivation. DUFLOW computer used evaluate the perfomance management network secondary and tertiary levels, whereas DRAINMOD is soil status block. Results simulation can be improve by passing Secondary Irrigation Chanel (SPD) Drainage (SDU) through channels, g...

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of DRAINMOD /DRAINMOD-N on an experimental drainage field at Southeast Purdue Agricultural Center (SEPAC), based on the comparison between observed and predicted subsurface drain flows and nitrate-nitrogen losses via drainage. The site was under conventional drainage management, consisting of two replications of three tile drain spacings—5m, ...

Models like DRAINMOD and its forestry version, DRAINLOB, have been specifically developed as a field scale model for evaluating hydrologic effects of crops (trees), soil, and water management practices for lands with pattern drainage (i.e. with parallel ditches) on relatively flat, high water table soils. These models conduct a water balance between the ditches to predict water table depths, dr...

Models are widely used to assess hydrologic impacts of land-management, land-use change and climate change. Two hydrologic models with different spatial scales, MIKE SHE (spatially distributed, watershed-scale) and DRAINMOD (lumped, fieldscale), were compared in terms of their performance in predicting stream flow and water table depth in a first-order forested watershed in coastal South Caroli...

The objective of this research is to control the nitrate-nitrogen concentration in surface water to 11.3 mg l (EU standards) and determine the exact nitrogen amount that has to be applied to achieve this limitation and calculate the corresponding plant uptake. The method used in this study is a combination between DRAINMOD-N model and Environmental Management for Agriculture (EMA), applying the...

Drainage water recycling (DWR) is an emerging practice that has the potential to increase crop yield and improve quality. DWR involves capturing storing subsurface drainage surface runoff in ponds or reservoirs, using this for supplemental irrigation during dry periods of growing season. The main objective study was enhance DRAINMOD model simulate hydrology systems. expanded model; named DRAINM...
