Download or read book Management of Agricultural Drainage Water Quality written by Madramootoo and published by Daya Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several concerns about the sustainability of irrigation and drainage projects, many of which are related to the quality and disposal of drainage water. Inadequate drainage and improper drainage water disposal have led to land degradation due to water logging and salinity. There have been instances where saline or high nutrient drainage water has damaged aquatic ecosystems. Drainage continues to be a vital and necessary component of agricultural production systems. In order to enhance the net benefits of drainage systems, more attention will need to be given to the water quality impacts of drainage water disposal. This document identifies potential problems and management options in the development, production, treatment and disposal of agricultural drainage water.

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).

Download or read book Agricultural Drainage and Water Quality written by Premjit Sharma and published by Gene-Tech Books. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural Drainage Is The Removal Of Excess Water From The Soil Surface And/Or Soil Profile Of Cropland, By Either Gravity Or Artificial Means. The Two Main Reasons For Improving The Drainage On Agricultural Land Are For Soil Conservation And Enhancing Crop Production. The Management Goal Of Agricultural Drainage Is To Maintain A Salt Balance In The Crop Root Zone In Arid Areas And Proper Soil Water Balance In Humid Areas. Drainage Water From Different Locations And/Or Facilities Will Have Different Quality Characteristics. Poor Quality Water Should Be Separated From Good Quality Water. If Drainage Water Is Unsuitable For Reuse, It Should Be Disposed Of In A Sink Of Lower Quality Water. In Recent Years, Public Concern Has Increased About The Nature Of Agricultural Drainage And The Impact Of Agricultural Drainage Improvements On The Quality Of Water Resources And Environment. This Publication Is Designed To Help Citizens To Understand The Purpose And Nature Of Agricultural Drainage Systems And Water Quality Issues. It Will Be A Highly Useful Reference Tool For Farm And Project Managers, Consultants, Engineers And Students And Researchers In The Field Of Agricultural Science.

Book Synopsis Water Quality Indices by : Tasneem Abbasi
Download or read book Water Quality Indices written by Tasneem Abbasi and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-03-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers water quality indices (WQI) in depth – it describes what purpose they serve, how they are generated, what are their strengths and weaknesses, and how to make the best use of them. It is a concise and unique guide to WQIs for chemists, chemical/environmental engineers and government officials. Whereas it is easy to express the quantity of water, it is very difficult to express its quality because a large number of variables determine the water quality. WQIs seek to resolve the difficulty by translating a set of a large number of variables to a one-digit or a two-digit numeral. They are essential in communicating the status of different water resources in terms of water quality and the impact of various factors on it to policy makers, service personnel, and the lay public. Further they are exceedingly useful in the monitoring and management of water quality. With the importance of water and water quality increasing exponentially, the importance of this topic is also set to increase enormously because only with the use of indices is it possible to assess, express, communicate, and monitor the overall quality of any water source. Provides a concise guide to WQIs: their purpose and generation Compares existing methods and WQIs and outlines strengths and weaknesses Makes recommendations on how the indices should be used and under what circumstances they apply
