Sensitivity Analysis of Soil Hydraulic Properties on Subsurface Water Flow in Furrows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Knowledge of the sensitivity of various soil hydraulic properties is beneficial for model development and application purposes. It can lead to better estimated values, better understanding, and thus reduced uncertainty. ...
Evaluation of Various Surface Irrigation Numerical Simulation Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a zero-inertia model (ZIMOD) is presented to simulate all phases of border and furrow irrigation systems. The governing equations were discretized using a control volume of moving cells, by procedures reported ...
Comparison of One- and Two-Dimensional Models to Simulate Alternate and Conventional Furrow Fertigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Simulation models have recently been used in many studies for simulation of water flow and solute transport in soil under different irrigation systems. The objective of this study was to compare the HYDRUS-1D and HYDRUS-2D ...
Optimum Design of Alternate and Conventional Furrow Fertigation to Minimize Nitrate Loss
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Alternate-furrow fertigation has shown potential to improve water and fertilizer application efficiency in irrigated areas. A combination of simulation and optimization approaches permits researchers to identify optimum ...
Effects of Flow Depth on Water Flow and Solute Transport in Furrow Irrigation: Field Data Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because of field-scale heterogeneity in soil hydraulic and solute transport properties, relatively large-scale experiments are now increasingly believed to be critical to better understand and predict the movement of water ...
Overland Water Flow and Solute Transport: Model Development and Field-Data Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The application of plant nutrients with irrigation water is an efficient and cost-effective method for fertilizer application to enhance crop production and reduce or eliminate potential environmental problems related to ...
