Evapotranspiration: Concepts and Future Trends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Past research on evapotranspiration has provided sound theoretical knowledge and practical applications that have been validated through field measurements. Many different approaches have been used; however, when primary ... -
Subirrigation Systems to Minimize Nitrate Leaching
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Nitrate leaching from corn production systems and the subsequent contamination of ground and surface waters is a major environmental problem. In field plots 75 m long by 15 m wide, the writers tested the hypothesis that ... -
Controlling Irrigation Water Flow to Mole Drains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Subsurface drainage in irrigated agriculture presents an interesting challenge in that rapid drainage is required after an irrigation or rainfall event to alleviate any waterlogging, but during irrigation events drainage ... -
Effects of Temperature Changes on Emitter Discharge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Working on the assumption that temperature affects water viscosity and emitter geometry, the writers have developed a dimensional analysis approach to the potential pressure-discharge relationship to estimate discharge ... -
Problems of Irrigation in Developing Countries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)This paper describes the crucial importance of irrigated agriculture to developing countries and to the world as a whole. This is followed by a summary of key problems that restrict and diminish the benefits of irrigated ... -

Rating Adjustment for Settlement of Cutthroat Flumes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A study was performed to examine the effects of flume settlement on the accuracy of discharge measurements, using the cutthroat flume in a free-flowing condition. A series of 111 tests was performed on 10.2 cm × 0.91 m, ... -
Explicit Time of Advance Formula for Furrow Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The behavior of the dimensionless advance curves obtained numerically for various values of infiltration parameter is systematically analyzed. It was found that when the advance problem is expressed in terms of new variables ... -
Choke-Free Flow in Circular Channels with Increase in Bed Elevations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Physical solutions for the flow through circular channels due to increase in bed elevations are obtained, satisfying the condition of choke-free flow. In this analysis, three different cases of channel transitions, commonly ... -
Simulating Furrow Irrigation with Different Inflow Patterns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Simulation of sloping furrows with free outflow was accomplished to assess the effect of inflow pattern on maximum application efficiency. For five inflow hydrograph patterns, the maximum application efficiency was predicted ... -
Discussion and Closure: Evaluation of Time-Rated Infiltration Families for Noncracking Soils

Converting from Pan Evaporation to Evapotranspiration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Evapotranspiration is an essential component of the hydrologic cycle, and its accurate estimation is necessary for many hydrologic studies. Via the pan coefficient ( -
Discussion and Closure: Idealized Automated Control of Sloping Canals

Semianalytical Solution to Richards' Equation for Layered Porous Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Traditional finite-difference and finite-element solutions to Richards' equation can exhibit stability problems and mass balance errors when sharp saturation fronts migrate across material interfaces. Several semianalytical ... -

Soil Hydraulic Models Selection Based on In-Situ Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Soil hydraulic properties are usually expressed as functional relationships between the soil hydraulic conductivity and water content or matric potential, and between the matric potential and water content. Both functions ... -
Scouring in Long Contractions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Based on the continuity of flow and sediment, an analysis on scouring in long contractions is conducted with a formula obtained from measured sediment discharge in long contractions and a formula for the flow resistance ... -
Analytical Approach for Direct Drip Lateral Hydraulic Calculation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In application of previous analytical approaches for drip lateral hydraulic computation, it is generally assumed that the emitter outflow along the lateral is constant. This basic assumption may cause significant errors ... -
Solutions of Boussinesq Equation in Semiinfinite Flow Region
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In a semiinfinite flow region, prediction of the water table profile due to an abrupt rise or drop in the canal or drain water level in the cases of recharging and discharging aquifers has been done for times equal to 1.0, ...
