Prognosis on Managing Trace Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concern over the potentially toxic effects of trace elements in agricultural drainage waters has been aroused by the discovery of selenium poisoning of wildlife at Kesterson Reservoir, California, and was heightened further ...

Salinity of Rivers: Transfer Function‐Noise Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The theory of transfer function‐noise (TFN) models is used in this work to study the flow‐salinity relationships at four gaging stations located on the Ebro river basin, in Spain. This technique, which relates an input to ...
Simulation of Suspended Sediment in Colusa Basin Drain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Suspended sediment transport is simulated in the lower reaches of the Colusa Basin Drain. A one‐dimensional dynamic mathematical and computer model is formulated to simulate suspended mineral sediment, suspended organic ...
Sediment Characterization and Transport in Colusa Basin Drain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Suspended sediment is characterized in the lower reaches of the Colusa Basin Drain. Three categories of suspended sediment are identified: mineral sediment, algae, and organic matter. Field data are used to develop functional ...
Overview of Soil Erosion from Irrigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Of the 15,000,000 ha (37,000,000 acres) of irrigated land in the U.S., 21% is affected by soil erosion to some extent. Irrigation‐induced soil erosion has been studied, primarily in the Northwestern United States, since ...
Modeling Drainwater Selenium Removal in Wetlands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prediction of selenium (Se) mass distribution and Se speciation in wetlands is desired for a comprehensive assessment of the capability of vegetated wetlands to remove Se from agricultural drainage waters prior to impoundment ...
Modeling Deficit Irrigation in Alfalfa Production
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A conceptual agronomic model EPIC was extended to consider the effects of salinity in alfalfa production under optimal and water stress irrigation conditions. The extended model was calibrated and validated with observed ...
