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. ...

Abstract: The WAVE model describes the transport and transformations of matter and energy in the soil, crop, and vadose environment. A lateral field drainage subprogram was added to the WAVE model to simulate lateral subsurface ...

Abstract: Unsteady flow problems in open channels can be classified as simulation‐ and operation‐type problems, according to the objectives of the study. The simulation problem is for predicting the discharge and water level in the ...

Abstract: A downstream control algorithm was developed for the control of multireach canal systems. The objective of the control is to maintain a target water level at the downstream end of each pool by adjusting the control gate ...

Abstract: A downstream control algorithm for on‐demand operation of irrigation canal systems is presented. A constant water level is maintained at the downstream end of the pool. The approach is based on an explicit finite‐difference ...

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 ...

Abstract: Knowledge of the sensitivity of performance and other related dependent furrow-irrigation parameters, in quantitative terms, to variations in field, design, and management variables can help save a considerable amount of ...

Abstract: Some of the highest losses of nitrate to surface waters come from drained agricultural land. This research studied, for Belgian farming conditions, (i) the effect of subsurface drainage density on nitrate losses and (ii) ...
