Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Drainage in the United States: History, Status, and Prospects The most recent rapid developmental era for drainage reclamation drew to a close about 1965. Drainage is the most extensive soil and water manage ment activity in agriculture. Approximately 110 million acres of the land within farms are artificially drained in the United States. About 9 million acres, or 25 percent, of the irrigated cropland in the Western States are artificially drained. Drainage can also have adverse effects in some situations by reducing or degrading wetlands vital to wildlife and serving hydrologic functions such as flood flow regulation. Drainage activities can also affect the quality of water bodies receiving drainage water. Drainage investigations in usda began with the Reclamation Act of 1902. This act is best known as creating the Bureau of Reclamation in the Depart ment of the Interior. A drainage unit to service irrigation project planning was simultaneously authorized for usda. In 1962, Public Law 87-732, the Drainage Referral Act, was enacted which prohibited usda from assisting landowners in draining potholes and marshes in Minnesota and the Dakotas if wildlife would be materially harmed. Currently, usda technical and financial assistance is no longer provided as a matter of policy except in unique circumstances as part of a conservation system related to irrigation water control, or as an essential element of an environmental system of practices. Thus, for usda, this publication represents an end to the era of strong usda support and assistance for drainage development activities.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan van Schilfgaarde, USDA Agricultural Research Service and National Research Council Committee on Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems In 1982, a startling discovery was made. Many waterbirds in Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge were dying or suffering reproductive failure. Located in the San Joaquin Valley (Valley) of California, the Kesterson Reservoir (Kesterson) was used to store agricultural drainage water and it was soon determined that the probable cause of the damage to wildlife was high concen trations of selenium, derived from the water and water organisms in the reservoir. This discovery drastically changed numerous aspects of water management in California, and especially affected irrigated agriculture. In fact, the repercussions spilled over to much of the Western United States. For a century, water development for irrigation has been a religiously pursued means for economic development of the West. The primary objective of the Reclamation Act of 1902 was, purportedly, the development ofirrigation water to support family farms which, in turn, would enhance the regional economy (Worster, 1985).

Book excerpt: Modern Land Drainage 2nd edition is a fully revised and updated edition of the 2004 edition. Modern Land Drainage describes traditional drainage formulas (Hooghoudt, Kirkham, Donnan, Ernst, Glover-Dumm) for rainfed agriculture in the humid temperature zone. Significant parts are devoted to drainage for salinity control of irrigated land in (semi-) arid zones, and to drainage of rice land in the humid tropics. Institutional, management and maintenance aspects are extensively covered, as well as the mitigation of adverse impacts of drainage interventions on the environment. The latest computer applications for drainage design in the context of integrated water management are described (DRAINMOD, HEC, SWAP, etc.). Field surveys are executed by governments, with the aid of consultants, but rarely are the end stakeholders (i.e., farmers and general public) involved from inception to planning to execution of a drainage system. Yet, during the Operation, Management and Maintenance (OMM) phase of a water management system, they are expected to takeover, run, bear and be responsible for the costs of OMM. The book describes successful methodologies and processes to be followed for engagement of stakeholders at all levels, from government to farm, from minister to farmer, and, from beginning to end. The book covers all aspects needed for sustainable drainage. The latest survey methodologies with satellites and drones are suggested to assess cause and effect. Waterlogging and salinity are the effect of something caused most likely upstream of the drainage problem location. Hence treating the cause may be more cost-effective. Triple Bottom Line (social, environmental and financial considerations) and the water-food-energy nexus are an integral part of the drainage design process. Controlled drainage, i.e. the balance of removal and conservation of drainage water and minimising solute transport as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA principle) is extensively described. This work is intended for use both as a university level textbook and as a professional handbook; it is of particular value to professionals engaged in drainage development in the context of integrated water resources and river basin management, civil and agricultural engineers, government officials, university students and libraries.
