Quick Bibliography Series
Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the
National Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are
not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject.
However, the citations are a substantial resource for recent
investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose
of bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested
user who, in many cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-
line searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic
and evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for

Abstract: A comparison between solute travel times predicted
by a transient and a steady state flow model is made. Data for
five different soil profiles with detailed measurements of
their hydraulic properties and their variation with depth are
used. Daily measurements of meteorological data are used as
input parameters in the transient simulations that include
snow and frost dynamics, interception of precipitation, and
evapotranspiration. The parameters of the steady state flow
model are related to the measured soil properties and the
hydrological characteristics of each transient simulation.
Furthermore, the influence of solute injection time on the
predicted travel time is analyzed, and the effect of root
water uptake on the applicability, of the steady state flow
assumption for solute advection is investigated. The results
indicate that the steady, state flow model may provide
estimates of the mean solute advection that are compatible
with those of the transient flow model. The constant rate of
recharge in the steady state flow, model should then be
interpreted as the average annual effective infiltration
(i.e., infiltration minus actual evapotranspiration). When
root water uptake is accounted for, an arithmetic depth-
averaging of the soil parameters appears to yield steady state
estimates of arrival time that are closest to the transient
predictions. When root water uptake is neglected, a harmonic
depth-averaging of the soil parameters provides the best
steady state results. The discrepancy between the arrival
times predicted with the two flow models decreases with the
travel distance from the soil surface.

Abstract: This study was conducted on the Lagar Distributary
of Gugera Branch of Lower Chenab Canal, Punjab, Pakistan. A
computer model "MISTRAL" was adopted for evaluating management
options. The study showed that the model can be used as a
decision support tool for prioritizing management options. The
model suggests that under current physical conditions of this
distributary the combination of rotation between the
distributaries and along the distributary canals can improve
the equity of water discharge. For example, in case of Lagar
Distributary the discharge of tail outlets can be increased
threefold by introducing rotation between the tail of the
distributary and an offtaking minor canal. A small decrease in
the discharge of the minor would result from adopting this
option. A combination of rotations between this and
neighboring distributaries and along the Lagar itself can
increase the discharge of tail outlets up to seven times. The
results of the model indicate that operational changes can
improve the discharge of tall outlets to some extent, but the
improvement of physical conditions of the distributary is
needed to achieve equity conditions, as specified in the
design.

Abstract: A twelve-year record of daily evaporation and
evapotranspiration measurements at the Coleraine campus of the
University of Ulster in Northern Ireland is analysed.
Potential evapotranspiration (PE) is independently derived
from: (i) Penman PT estimates; (ii) irrigated grass lysimeters
PE(L);, (iii) measurements of tank evaporation, PE(T). Both
PE(T) and PE(L) are higher in winter than PT and have more
prolonged summer peaks. Examination of soil moisture deficits
during the period shows that actual evapotranspiration (AE)
rarely falls below the potential rate and that PE and AE are
therefore equal for most of the year. The availability of
rainfall, stream discharge and groundwater data from an
instrumented river catchment on the University campus enables
water balances to be constructed for the period of study.
Separate water balances using each of the PE estimates show
that Penman PT most satisfactorily reflects catchment storage
changes monitored independently. Penman PT is therefore
confirmed as the most appropriate estimate of PE for the
climatic, soil and vegetation conditions of the region. The
use of Penman PT in water balance determinations, however,
does not secure perfect agreement between estimated recharge
and depletion of catchment storage on the one hand, and
observed changes in water-table level on the other. The
combined effects of error in surface water balance
determinations are estimated at about 13%.

Abstract: A glasshouse soil column experiment was performed
to characterize salinity and sodicity developed from waters of
differing composition applied to a representative soil from
the San Joaquin Valley of California. The soil column
experiment was designed to simulate physicochemical conditions
in a field experiment conducted in the western San Joaquin
Valley, where an Entisol above a shallow, saline aquifer was
irrigated with waters of varying quality. Columns 0.46 m long
containing the Entisol were leached with "California Aqueduct
water" (EC = 0.72 dS m-1, SAR = 4 mole(c) 1/2m-3/2 or with
saline "well water" (EC = 8 ds m-1, SAR = 13 mole(c) 1/2m-3/2)
for periods up to 1 yr. When a simulated "aquifer" was 0.43 m
below the soil surface, leaching with aqueduct water produced
a positive downward gradient of soluble salt concentrations
and exchangeable Na, whereas leaching with well water produced
a dramatic increase of sodicity at the soil surface and a zone
of soluble bivalent cation accumulation about 0.2 m below.
These effects reflected the combined influence of the applied
water quality and evaporative capillary arise from the saline
"aquifer." After the simulated "aquifer" was withdrawn, soil
saturation extracts indicated equilibration with the applied
waters after 0.5 to 1 yr, the rate being greater under
leaching with aqueduct water. The saturation extract and
drainage effluent for the soil receiving aqueduct water became
more dilute, producing calcite dissolution and increasing
exchangeable Ca, with a consequent decline in sodicity. The
soil receiving well water showed an increase in exchangeable
Na at the expense of exchangeable Ca, with little or no change
in exchangeable K and Mg. At the completion of the experiment,
the soil irrigated with well water had become more saline and
sodic but, since EC was sufficiently high as compared to SAR,
no major permeability problems with the soil were expected.
Therefore, from the results of this study, the reuse of saline

Abstract: The chemical characteristics of surface water, base
flow and groundwater in a first-order catchment in the
wheatbelt of Western Australia were used to study the
weathering process and its relationship to the development of
groundwater and stream salinity. Meteoric water infiltrates
through the unsaturated zone to the water table aquifer and
through the aquifer outcrop in the case of a confined aquifer.
The groundwater composition changes in space and time,
becoming more saline with depth and distance away from the
recharge zone. The concentration of salt in the system can be
explained by four main mechanisms: withdrawal of water through
uptake by plant roots for transpiration; loss of water during
the weathering process and the formation of new minerals;
leakage between aquifers; evaporation upstream of geological
structures and near discharge zones. The groundwater is mainly
of Na-Cl type, and is at saturation with respect to most of
the carbonate minerals, chalcedony, talc and tremolite. The
water changes in its chemical composition as rock-water
interaction takes place. The weathering products are gibbsite
and kaolinite, with the release of Na+ K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, HCO-3
and H4SiO4. The preclearing weathering products are produced
in a system open to CO2 (through the plant roots), with
groundwater under this system having excess Na+. After
clearing the system becomes depleted in CO2 and the
groundwater becomes depleted in Na+ through exchange with Mg2+
from the rock surface. Geochemical modelling showed that most
of the constituents in groundwater can be accounted for by
taking into consideration the constituents of rainfall, with
minor additions from the weathering process.

Abstract: The distribution of nutrients and water between
mobile and immobile pores should influence nutrient uptake.
The distribution can be regulated through control of the
water-filled pore space. This research was conducted to
determine the effect of varying soil-water content and water
uptake upon nutrient uptake. Corn (Zea mays L.) was grown in a
growth chamber for 2 wk at 35 or 55% relative humidity (RH).
Three soils [Boelus LS, 5% slope (sandy over loamy, mixed,
mesic Udic Haplustoll); Boelus LS, 2% slope; and Plano Soil
(fine-silty, mixed, thermic Typic Haplustolf)] were watered to
field capacity. Plants on each soil were allowed to extract
water to one of three minimal levels before rewatering. After
harvest, P and K content and other root and leaf parameters
were determined. The values of minimal levels were chosen so
that, for each soil, the three values ensured no low-water
stress. Effective diffusion coefficients were determined for
the three soils. Increased minimal levels for a soil required
for frequent watering, which led to greater mixing of solutes
between pores. At 55% RH, no water treatment significantly
affected P and K flux, despite significant differences in
diffusion coefficients. At 35% RH, however, phosphate flux to
roots increased as minimum levels increased. The significant
increase of phosphate flux with more frequent watering at low
RH suggests that plant uptake is affected by soil physical
processes other than simple diffusion and convection to
individual roots. More frequent watering results in greater
mixing of solute between pores containing mobile and immobile
water and, consequently, greater uptake.

Abstract: Recent development in technologies of irrigation
and fertilization enable us to control root size and
environment under field conditions. Low volume irrigation and
fertilization affects root size and rate of rootlets
production and consequently vegetative and reproductive
processes of whole plants. The mechanisms involved seem to
include growth regulators production at the root apexes and
their translocation to the shoots. Field experiments in a few
species of deciduous trees and citrus, showed that root
systems are very flexible and can adjust to low volume
irrigation irrespective of age or size of the trees or stage
of development. Root restriction under field conditions was
found to cause precocity, increase productivity and reduce the
size of the trees. A greater number of trees per unit land can
be grown without reducing light penetration which is the most
important factor affecting physiological processes controlling
fruit bud differentiation, such as assimilate translocation,
photosynthetic efficiency fruit composition, size and
coloration. Control of root environment in terms of soil
matric potential, mineral concentration and aeration can also
be achieved by irrigating and fertilizing at the rate of
consumptive use. A non uniform distribution of water and
minerals was found to exist when a point source irrigation
such as drip was used. Nevertheless, a highly efficient uptake
of water and minerals were found under conditions of an almost
continuous supply of water and minerals by drip irrigation
systems. Results of various studies show that this phenomenon
may be attributed to transfer of water, minerals and air among
individual roots of a root system subjected to gradients of
water, minerals, and oxygen concentrations. A computer
controlled automated irrigation and fertilization system which
consists of soil matric potential sensors located in the main
root zone was developed. This system provides means for
controlling the size of the root system as well

Abstract: Investigations were carried out in 1989 to
determine the evapotranspiration (ET) of alfalfa when
irrigated with saline waste water coming from the evaporation
of fresh water in the cooling towers of Utah Power and Light
Company Electrical Power Plant at Huntington in central Utah,
U.S.A. The primary goal is to dispose of the waste water from
the power plant by irrigation and to maximize salt deposition
in the soil, maximize crop ET, minimize runoff from the soil
surface, and minimize leaching to the ground water. Using the
Bowen ratio-energy balance method, alfalfa evapotranspiration
was measured at an experimental site for each 20-minute period
during the 1989 irrigation season. Using a simplified seasonal
water balance, the results showed that cumulative irrigation
plus rain was less than evapotranspiration for the 1989
irrigation season. This means that for the long term in
addition to irrigation and precipitation some water was
withdrawn from the soil for alfalfa crop water requirements
(ET(a)). Short term evaluations showed that because of
unforeseen heavy rain (thunder showers) in this mountainous
area between irrigations, ET(a) was occasionally less than
irrigation plus rain. This means the excess water was stored
in the soil for later use. The average value for ET(a)/ET(p)
(potential ET) for the 1989 irrigation season was 0.47 but
occasionally the ratio was greater than unity. Short-term
studies (Hanks et al. 1990a) indicate that yield and ET(a) are
likely to decrease only slightly for the coming years if
saline irrigation water is applied. This method of
investigation can be applied to any industrial processes which
produce waste water.

Abstract: A major problem in managing and reclaiming saline
land is identifying areas of recharge and discharge in a
catchment. In a first-order catchment in the wheatbelt of
Western Australia, four trends of water level changes have
been observed: monotonically rising water levels; continuously
rising water levels with seasonal fluctuations; continuously
falling water levels; seasonally fluctuating water levels.
Each pattern is associated with a specific hydrologic
mechanism--recharge, recharge-discharge and discharge. The
spatial distribution of the aquifer systems in the catchment
follows a configuration which is controlled by the basin
morphology. Recharge takes place in confined aquifers at the
watershed and in the uplands; recharge-discharge occurs in the
unconfined to semiconfined aquifer of the midslopes, and
discharge becomes dominant along the unconfined aquifers of
the drainage lines. The main areas of discharge of higher-
salinity groundwater occur just upstream of geological
structures along the drainage line. Surface water dams were
found to contribute to the establishment of new discharge
areas. They cause increased pressure in the deep aquifers,
resulting in a rise in water levels and groundwater discharge
below the dams.

Abstract: Declining water table levels in the Douro River
basin, Central Spain, are caused by the extraction of
groundwater from a relatively homogeneous aquifer, and results
in several types of impact on local wetlands which vary
according to their characteristics. These wetlands are local,
intermediate and regional groundwater discharge sites,
seepages from post-tertiary deposits, and non-linked ponds to
groundwater dynamics. The following important factors
influence the type of impact: the recharge or discharge nature
of the affected sector of landscape; the type of connection
with the regional aquifer; flow lengths and residence time of
the water; the interaction between the water and the surface
material, particularly clay. A wide range of wetland values
and functions are affected according to the type of impact.
These include productivity, amenity, recreational, scientific,
educational and conservation values.

Abstract: Water samples collected in the Mermentau River
Basin over several years at Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality monitoring sites contained high levels
of total solids and nutrients during the spring that were
highly correlated to pre- and post-plant discharges from rice
fields. This study was developed to evaluate the potential of
selected management practices (MP's) for reducing total
solids, nutrients and pesticides from discharge water in order
to improve the surface water quality in southwest Louisiana.
Five rice plots located on the Rice Research Station in
Crowley, LA represented the different MP's to be evaluated.
The five water seeding MP's were: a.1-no till; a.2-water
cultivation with 30-day settling, a.3-dry cultivation with
clear water planting; a.4-mudding-in with vegetated filter,
and b-mudding-in (control). Quality of discharged water from
rice fields in the Mermentau River Basin was clearly affected
by the different MP's. From the first year of data, all the
MPa's were better than the mudding-in (MPb). The
concentrations of the total solids (kg/ha) in the discharged
water (initial + final drain) for the different MP's were in
the order: MPb(4860) > MPa.3(3906) > MPa.4(3412) > MPa.2(3068)
> MPa.1(1807). The Mpa.3, Mpa.4 and MPb had no detectable
amounts of pesticides being released. The 30-day holding
period (Mpa.2), clear water planting (MPa.3) and the mudding-
in with vegetated filter (MPa.4) were similar as far as TDS,
TSS and TS with the no-till (MPa.1) being the least. The 30-
day holding period (Mpa.2) and the no-till (MPa.1) had less
nutrients, but more pesticides released. Depending on the
priority of the stream problems, different MP's may be more
advantageous than others. All of the selected MP's were better
than the control (MPb), and therefore, should help to improve
water quality.

Abstract: In the Murray Basin in southeastern Australia,
saline waste irrigation waters are often discharged to natural
depressions and saline lakes as a salinity and land management
strategy. At the Noora disposal basin in South Australia the
waste irrigation water (EC = 17-19 dS m(-1)) has formed a lens
in the top of the highly saline (50-80 dS m(-1)) regional
groundwater (Parilla Sands) aquifer. Using salinity and
environmental isotopes of water (deuterium and oxygen-18) the
lens has been shown to extend about 500 m in a northwesterly
direction from the disposal pond. The major effects of this
lens have been: (1) to cause upwards displacement of the
regional ground water over an area of about 285 km(2),
implying increased evaporation from areas surrounding the
lens; (2) to reduce evaporation of regional ground water from
the central low-lying area. Electromagnetic induction
techniques for detecting preferred flowpaths away from the
basin were rendered ineffective in this environment because of
lithologic variations within the dune system. However,
examination of bore-logs and groundwater gradients indicated
that there was little evidence of stratigraphic control of
mound development. Salinity in the Parilla Sands aquifer was
closely related to the depth of the water table from the soil
surface. Shallow (2-4 m) water tables were affected by
recharge and evaporation to a much greater extent than ground
water located below the higher dunes. There was, however, an
almost instantaneous pressure response throughout the whole
groundwater system to changes induced in the low-lying areas.
Analyses of piezometric data showed that there was a seasonal
variation imposed on the groundwater mound development.
Corrected mean annual water-table increments and estimates of
the mound volume and area were derived from a Theis response
curve of the water table rise associated with the mound alone.
Calculations using fitted parameters from the Theis analyses
also suggested high transmissivit

Abstract: A general model of adoption of input-conserving
technologies by competitive firms is introduced using drip
irrigation as an example. An environmental regulation such as
a drainage effluent charge is shown to influence adoption.
Early adopters are likely to be producers with less efficient
fixed assets (land of low quality or antiquated capital),
higher input costs (higher water prices or greater depth to
groundwater), and in more environmentally sensitive regions.
Simulations show that drainage regulations can be expected to
play a major role in adoption of more efficient irrigation
technologies in California. Thus, conservation may be a key to
solving resource scarcity problems and reducing external
environmental costs.

Abstract: More than 100 groundwater samples were collected
and analyzed for nitrate-nitrogen, delta 15N of the nitrate,
dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and chloride. Multilevel
samplers and nested monitoring wells were located beneath and
down-gradient from an irrigated cornfield on which human waste
sludge was injected. The sampling delineated a 1.3 km X 0.3 km
plume of nitrate contamination. Both the nitrate-nitrogen
concentrations and the delta 15N values within the plume's
centroid were homogeneous. The levels were 34 +/- 3 mg l-1 and
+13.4 +/- 1.2%, respectively. A retarding zone of clayey silt
split the plume and separated the oxic water from the deeper
anoxic water. Nitrate levels were lower in the anoxic water
and declined rapidly with depth. The significant association
(r = -0.91) between increasing delta 15N values and decreasing
nitrate concentrations indicated that the nitrate was
denitrified. High chloride concentrations in the anoxic zone
beneath the retarding layer are thought to originate from the
sludge storage lagoon and/or the sludge compost piles. Tritium
and atrazine levels confirm that this is recent recharge
water. Denitrification has utilized most of the original
nitrate and DOC in the plume.

Abstract: The transport processes of sorbing chemicals in
field soils are poorly understood. This study characterized
the leaching behavior of the weakly sorbing herbicide bromacil
(5-bromo-3-sec-butyl-6-methyluracil) in comparison to Br-
during continuous-flood irrigation of a small field plot.
Twenty-four solution samplers were used to periodically
collect in situ samples from seven depths within four 1.83 by
1.83 m subplots. Estimates of the pore water velocity (vs) and
dispersion coefficient (D) were made by fitting an analytical
solution of the convection-dispersion (CD) equation to the Br-
data. Estimates of retardation (R) were made by fitting the CD
equation to the bromacil data using the vs and D estimates
from the Br- data and letting R be a fitting parameter.
Estimates of R were also made from the results of batch
equilibration studies using soil from seven depths. Best-fit
vs and D values exhibited considerable variability from
sampler to sampler (CV = 1.25 and 1.30, respectively) and
showed no significant trends with depth. Retardation values
estimated from the CD equation averaged 1.88, but varied from
1.21 to 3.35 and also showed no significant trend with depth.
In contrast, batch equilibration studies showed the absorption
properties of the surface 0.6 m of soil to be significantly
different than the 0.6- to 3-m depth, with R values decreasing
from 1.62 for the surface 0.6 m to 1.31 at 3 m. Although the
two methods gave the same estimate of R in the surface soil
neither the lower R values at deeper depths nor the tendency
to decrease with depth as predicted from the batch studies was
apparent in the transport data. Using D as an additional
fitting parameter to the bromacil data resulted in an average
increase of 1.96 for this parameter, indicating more
dispersion for the sorbing solute. Increased dispersion and
increased tailing of the sorbed solute may be attributed to
spatially variable adsorption and to a negative correlation
between vs and R (r = -0.524)

Abstract: Public awareness of groundwater contamination has
created renewed interest in solute transport models that can
be practically applied as groundwater quality management
tools. Because of their simplicity with regard to input
requirements, functional models of solute transport are
excellent groundwater quality management tools. A functional
model of one-dimensional solute transport that accounts for
hydraulic bypass is presented. The transport model TETrans,
simulates the vertical movement of nonvolatile solutes (i.e.,
trace elements and nonvolatile organic chemicals) through the
vadose zone. Plant water uptake is taken into account assuming
no solute uptake by the plant. TETrans requires minimal input
data for its operation. Since TETrans uses a mass-balance
approach to solute transport, it offers the speed of an
analytical solution and the versatility of a numerical
approach without the need for input parameters, which are
difficult to measure. TETrans is able to account for bypass
with a single term, the mobility coefficient. The mobility
coefficient, gamma, represents the fraction of the soil liquid
phase, which is subject to piston-type displacement;
therefore, 1 - gamma represents the fraction of the liquid
phase that is bypassed. The mobility coefficient is a
temporally and spatially variable parameter (within a range of
0 to l) which is calculated from the deviation of the measured
chloride concentration from the predicted concentration
assuming piston displacement and assuming complete mixing of
the resident soil solution and incoming water for a given
irrigation and volume of soil. A constant mobility coefficient
for a given depth or entire profile can be determined by
averaging temporally varying mobility coefficients or
averaging spatially and temporally varying mobility
coefficients, respectively. In essence, the mobility
coefficient simplistically accounts for three physical
transport phenomena in a single term. On a microscopic level
there is flow thr

Abstract: Surface irrigation is used to apply food processing
wastewater. A newly developed flow-through infiltrometer was
developed to measure the influence of wastewater quality on
infiltration and irrigation performance. Steady infiltration
rate decreased with increased loading of BOD and TS of tomato
processing wastewater. Using a hydraulic model to simulate
irrigation performance, it was shown that ignoring the decline
in infiltration with increased loading and using the
unadjusted infiltration function reduced predicted application
efficiency 23%. Surface irrigation system design should
therefore include the effect of wastewater quality.

Abstract: A study was undertaken to quantitatively evaluate
the hydrologic processes affecting the chemical and isotopic
composition of drain lateral water in a drained agricultural
field in the western San Joaquin Valley, California. The
results elucidate the process of mixing of deep and shallow
groundwater (below and within 6 m from land surface) entering
the drain laterals. The deep groundwater was subject to
evapoconcentration prior to drainage system installation and
has been displaced downward (to depths greater than 6 m) in
the groundwater system. The proportions of deep and shallow
groundwater entering the drain laterals was calculated from
the end-member oxygen 18 compositions determined in
groundwater samples. The percentage of total drain lateral
flow which is deep groundwater flow is about 30% for the
shallow drain lateral (1.8 m below land surface) (drain
lateral 1)) and 60% for the deep drain lateral (2.7 m below
land surface (drain lateral 2)). During irrigation, the
percentages of deep groundwater flow decrease to 0 and 30% for
the shallow and deep drain laterals, respectively. Selenium
concentrations in drain lateral waters decrease during
irrigation but selenium loads increase. Total estimated annual
loads were 1.1 and 5.4 kg of selenium for drain laterals 1 and
2, respectively. Substantial percentages of the annual load
occurred during 8 days of irrigation, 23 and 9% for drain
laterals 1 and 2, respectively.

Abstract: Understanding local and regional groundwater-flow
patterns was necessary to design a sampling network to study
the movement and distribution of agrochemicals in the
unconfined aquifer in southeastern Delaware. Clusters of wells
completed at various depths were installed in the expected
direction of local groundwater flow along a transect from the
center of a 100-ha cultivated field toward a nearby stream.
Contrary to expectations, groundwater flow in the study area
is almost parallel to the stream, in the direction of regional
flow. Consequently, agrochemicals from the site migrate along
flow paths from source (recharge) areas to distant regional
discharge areas and do not significantly influence the water
quality in the stream. The sampling network was expanded
upgradient and downgradient from the original site during a
second phase of the study. The expanded network provided
better understanding of agrochemical distribution relative to
regional groundwater-flow patterns.

Abstract: Processing tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)
grown in field plots with soil infested with or free of
Phytophthora parasitica Dastur. were furrow-irrigated for 4 to
8 hours every 14 days (normal irrigation), for 4 to 8 hours
every 28 days (less frequent irrigation), or for 4 to 8 and 24
hours on alternate irrigations every 14 days (prolonged
irrigation). Disease developed more rapidly and symptom
severity was greater in inoculated plants that received
prolonged irrigation, whereas disease onset was delayed in
inoculated plants that were irrigated less frequently. Water
extraction by tomato roots from well-irrigated and noninfested
soil was usually greatest at shallow depths and decreased with
depth. When disease was increasing and soil moisture was high,
diseased plants extracted less total water from all depths and
significantly less water at shallow depths. Plants in the
drier soil profiles extracted the greatest amounts of water at
depths below 90 cm, and diseased plants irrigated less
frequently showed reductions in water extraction at shallow
depths later in the season. Tomato root systems appeared to
compensate for moderate levels of root disease at shallow
depths by extracting more water from deeper in the profile.

Abstract: In the Beer Sheva region of the Negev desert, the
only significant fresh groundwater is contained within the
Judea Group carbonate aquifer. It is found that this aquifer
holds two distinctly different old water bodies. One such
groundwater body has evolved in equilibrium with the carbonate
aquifer rocks after being recharged during the Holocene in the
Hebron Mountains north of the study area. At present, modern
recharge, as denoted by the tritium and radiocarbon contents,
is very minor. A subtle 'piston effect' generated by
contemporary replenishment is discussed in representative
hydrographs in Beer Sheva wells. Another groundwater body
identified in the Judea Group aquifer derives from the
underlying Kurnub Group aquifer. The regional artesian Kurnub
Group aquifer (Nubian Sandstone) contains an older and
brackish groundwater body which has been recharged in Sinai
during Pleistocene pluvials. Faulting in the Beer Sheva region
facilitated hydrologic contact between the two aquifers.
Exploitation of the Judea Group has released confining
pressures and resulted in the intrusion of Kurnub Group water
into the overlying Judea Group carbonate aquifer. This process
is most significant in those wells drilled close to major
faults where salinity increases with pumping. The intruding
water originating from the Kurnub Group sandstone aquifer has
not yet equilibrated chemically with the carbonate host. The
low pH and high temperatures that have been encountered
indicate continuing and very recent intrusion. In the Beer
Sheva area, in the absence of direct significant modern
recharge (as determined from tritium and 14C values), all
waters should be considered as paleowaters that are being
mined. A complete revision of the hydrologic concept by which
the multiple aquifer system can be exploited is required, to
take into account the fact that the fresh Judea Group
groundwater is actually an old (Holocene) water body intruded
by brackish and older (Pleistocene) water along fault

Abstract: In arid climates water is a limited resource, and
turfgrass is often irrigated with municipal effluent. However,
the effects of continuous turfgrass irrigation with sewage
effluent on soil and leachate water quality needs to be
evaluated. The objective of this field experiment was to
evaluate the effect of secondary treated municipal effluent
irrigation on soil and leachate properties under a turf
groundcover during the first 16 mo of irrigation. Research
plots were irrigated identically with either effluent or
potable water using a leaching fraction of approximately 20%.
Effluent irrigation resulted in significant changes in soil
properties after a relatively short period of time. After 16
mo of use, when compared with potable irrigation, effluent was
found to increase electrical conductivity (EC) by 0.5 dS m-1,
NO3-N by 7.8 mg kg-1, P by 31.7 mg kg-1, K by 134 mg kg-1, Na
by 6.0 mmol L-1 and the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP)
by 6.8. Soil Ca + Mg concentrations were greater under
effluent irrigation by 0.5 mmol L-1 but decreased during the
study period. Soil pH was not significantly different from
potable irrigation. Leachates collected at 0.61-m depth
indicated that effluent soil leachates were higher than
potable leachates primarily in EC by 0.2 dS m-1 and Na content
by 0.8 mmol L-1. The increase did not exceed current
recommended limits for drinking water quality.

Abstract: Due to limited water resources, golf course
irrigation with municipal sewage effluent is a common
practice, and, in some areas of the USA Desert Southwest
mandatory. However, effluent irrigation changes soil
properties and therefore different management practices are
needed for good quality turfgrass. This field experiment
evaluated the continuous use of secondary treated municipal
sewage effluent on turfgrass quality over a 64-wk period. In
April 1987, common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers.)
was seeded to a Sonoita gravelly sandy loam (coarse-loamy,
mixed, thermic Typic Haplargid) and maintained under fairway
conditions. In October of that year, perennial ryegrass
(Lolium perenne L.) was overseeded to maintain an actively
growing turf. Plots were irrigated identically with either
effluent or potable water. Effluent irrigation led to
significantly lower seed emergence but improved seed
establishment. Turf quality was assessed under each irrigation
with four N fertilization rates of 0, 16.1, 32.3 and 48.4 kg N
ha-1 (4 wk)-1. Established effluent irrigated turf did not
show signs of osmotic stress with the leaching fraction
employed. Effluent provided significant amounts of nutrients
at high application rates. No single fertilization rate or
irrigation regime consistently produced a superior turf
quality over the course of the whole study. Effluent irrigated
turf showed signs of overfertilization, greater heat stress
and chlorosis of overseeded ryegrass stands during the summer
months on plots receiving N fertilizer amendments. Municipal
effluent did produce a high quality turf, but, the greater
soluble salt and nutrient content of the water necessitate
special management strategies.

Abstract: Effluent and other secondary waters have become
important sources of irrigation water in the U.S. Southwest.
Information is inadequate relative to potential long-term
effluent irrigation effects on turfgrass and soil chemical
quality. The objective of this field research was to determine
the influence of secondarily treated municipal wastewater
irrigation on the chemical quality of bermudagrass (Cynodon
dactylon L.) turf soil (Sonoita gravelly sandy loam: coarse-
loamy, mixed, thermic Typic Haplargid) when compared to
similarly irrigated potable water plots. Research plots were
irrigated using a 20% leaching fraction. After 3.2 yr of use,
effluent water increased soil electrical conductivity by 0.2
ds m-1, Na by 155 mg kg-1, P by 26 mg kg-1, and K by 50 mg
kg-1 in comparison to potable irrigated plots. Soil pH was not
significantly affected by effluent irrigation. The
concentrations of Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn were found to be within
the range considered normal for agricultural soil. Effluent
irrigation increased soil total organic carbon and nitrogen
during the first 1.3 yr of irrigation only. Total aerobic
bacteria populations were similar in all irrigated plots
indicating these microbes were not promoted or inhibited by
the use of this wastewater. In summary, the irrigation of this
turf soil for 3.3 yr with the secondarily treated wastewater
used in this study had no serious detrimental effects on soil
quality.

Abstract: A comprehensive field trench study was conducted in
a semiarid area of southern New Mexico to provide data to test
deterministic and stochastic models of vadose zone flow and
transport. A 4 m by 9 m area was irrigated with water
containing a tracer using a carefully controlled drip
irrigation system. The area was heavily instrumented with
tensiometers and neutron probe access tubes to monitor water
movement and with suction tubes to monitor solute transport.
Approximately 600 disturbed and 600 core samples of soil were
taken to support deterministic and stochastic characterization
of the soil water hydraulic parameters. The core sample-based
saturated hydraulic conductivities ranged from 1.4 to 6731
cm/d with a mean of 533 cm/d and a standard deviation of 647
cm/d, indicating significant spatial variability. However,
visual observation of the wetting front on the trench wall
shows no indication of preferential flow or water flow through
visible root channels and cracks. The tensiometer readings and
the neutron probe measurements also suggest that the wetting
front moves in a fairly homogeneous fashion despite the
significant spatial variability of the saturated hydraulic
conductivity. In addition to the description of the experiment
and the presentation of the experimental results, predictions
of simple one-dimensional uniform and layered soil
deterministic models for infiltration are presented and
compared to field observations. These models are presented
here to provide a base case against which more sophisticated
deterministic and stochastic models can be compared in the
future. The results indicate that the simple models give
adequate predictions of the overall movement of the wetting
front through the soil during infiltration. However, the
models give poor predictions of point values for water content
due to the spatial variability of the soil. Comparisons
between the one-dimensional infiltration model predictions and
field observations show that the use of t

management program initiated by the Central Platte Natural
Resource District (CPNRD) in Nebraska. Cultural practices
recommended by the CPNRD and reported by producers for the
1988 growing season, representing approximately 3900 fields
covering 84 210 ha of irrigated corn (Zea mays L.) indicated
NO3-N contamination of groundwater was influenced by yield
goals and fertilizer N application rates. Groundwater NO3-N
concentrations were positively correlated with residual N in
the surface 0.9 m of soil prior to the growing season,
reflecting the effects of past N and water management
practices. Yield goals in 1988 averaged 9% higher than the
average 10.0 Mg ha-1 corn yield attained, which accounts for
an average of about 20 kg N ha-1 in excess of the average N
recommendation. By comparison, in a 1980 to 1984 study from an
area within the CPNRD, yield goals averaged 28% greater than
actual yields. Overly optimistic yield goals in 1988 accounted
for 42% of the average excess N application rate of 48 kg ha-1
(based on University of Nebraska recommendations). A large
portion of average excess N application is attributed to
producers in 14% of the area who applied > 100 kg N ha-1 more
than the recommended rates. Fertilizer N applied showed little
relationship to fertilizer N recommended. Better education and
more stringent measures may be required to address the select
group of producers who fail to follow CPNRD recommendations.

Abstract: A mathematical water balance model describing major
hydrological processes operating within wet forested
watersheds is proposed. The model is capable of predicting
hillslope and watershed discharge, evapotranspiration demands,
hillslope moisture status, and surface and subsurface flow
rates. It is based on soil physical principles and requires
the following input variables: average hillslope angle and
width, average soil depth, precipitation, average daily
evaporation rates, effective saturated hydraulic conductivity,
soil moisture holding capacity and initial moisture content.
These variables are often easily measured from field studies.
However, in some cases, the absence of field data may require
that some of the variables in the model, e.g., saturated
hydraulic conductivity, be estimated or calibrated from
hillslope hydrograph records. The watershed model is composed
of two submodels: a storage model and a hillslope model. The
storage model describes the dynamic variation in water table
elevation in recharge zones and the hillslope model is used to
predict runoff and seepage through flow from surrounding
hillsides. Application of the model is illustrated on a small
watershed located in North Madison, Connecticut.

Abstract: Fish and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)
production were linked in a recirculating water system. Fish
(tilapia) were fed a commercial diet with 32% protein. Tomato
cultivars 'Laura' and 'Kewalo' were grown during summer 1988
and spring 1989, respectively, in a Raleigh, NC greenhouse.
Plants were grown in biofilters at 4 plants/m2 and surface
irrigated 8 times daily with water pumped from an associated
fish tank. Four tank-to-biofilter ratios were established by
varying the filter size. Each system received identical
nutrient inputs and an equal quantity of water was applied per
plant. Biofilter drainage returned to the tanks. Biological
filtration, aeration, and mineral assimilation by plants
maintained water quality within limits for tilapia. All
nutrients were assimilated above deficiency levels. Tissue
concentrations of N, P, K and Mg were not limiting. Calcium
was low and S high when their sole nutrient source was fish
waste. Micronutrients were assimilated in excess of
sufficiency, but toxicity was not seen. Irrespective of fruit
yield, metabolic products of each kilogram increase in fish
biomass provided sufficient nutrient for two tomato plants for
a period of three months. Under reduced growth rates of mature
fish, K became limiting. Alterations in fish feed mineral
nutrient content are suggested which better meet plant
requirements and still remain within the range of fish needs.

Abstract: Long-term assessment of solute transport in the
unsaturated zone is an important consideration for irrigation
management, pesticide management, and subsurface contaminant
restoration analysis and design. Mathematical models are often
used to perform such analyses. Modeling fluid flow and solute
transport in the unsaturated zone typically requires solution
of the nonlinear Richards equation and an advective-dispersive
equation for contaminant transport as a function of time. Such
solutions are possible but computationally expensive. A
simplified water balance approach to solve fluid flow in
shallow, drained unsaturated zones has been developed and
refined over the last 15 years. The objectives of this study
were to use results from a water balance model to obtain
solutions for solute transport in drained, shallow water table
soils, and to compare the results with solutions based upon
Richards' equation. Transient soil water flux rates computed
with a water balance model were used as input to a Petrov-
Galerkin advective-dispersive transport model to simulate
solute transport in unsaturated soils. The transport model was
checked for consistency by comparison with an analytical
solution. Sample simulations showed good agreement between a
Richards' equation-based transport model and a water balance-
based transport model. Simulations were performed to show
predicted trends in water quality over 1-year periods.

Abstract: Knowledge of the CO2 concentration in the
unsaturated zone is essential for prediction of solution
chemistry in the vadose zone and groundwater recharge as well
as for quantifying carbon source/sink terms as part of the
global CO2 mass balance. In this paper we present a predictive
simulation model, SOILCO2, based on process-oriented
relationships. The model includes one-dimensional water flow
and multiphase transport of CO2 utilizing the Richards and the
convection-dispersion equations, respectively, as well as heat
flow and a CO2 production model. The transport of CO2 in the
unsaturated zone can occur in both the liquid and gas phases.
The gas transport equation accounts for production of CO2 and
uptake of CO2 by plant roots associated with root water
uptake. The CO2 production model considers both microbial and
root respiration which is dependent on water content,
temperature, growth, salinity and plant and soil
characteristics. Heat flow is included, since some gas
transport parameters, partitioning coefficients and production
parameters are strongly temperature dependent. The resulting
set of partial differential equations is solved numerically
using the finite element and finite difference methods.

Abstract: A model of water and solute transport in
macroporous soils (Jarvis et al., 1991) has been evaluated in
column breakthrough experiments under field conditions.
Hydraulic properties were first measured in replicate soil
monolith lysimeters sampled from grass ley and continuous
barley treatments in a clay soil. A pulse input of 0.05 M KCl
was then supplied by drip irrigation and measurements made of
the water discharge and chloride leaching resulting from the
natural rainfall over a 1-month period. The results showed
that the macropores constituted the dominant flow pathway
(accounting for 80% of the total water outflow) and that
diffusive exchange of chloride between the two flow domains
was the main factor causing variability in leaching. Larger
hydraulic conductivities and macroporosities in the lower
topsoil and at plough depth in the grass ley monoliths were
taken as evidence of structural amelioration. Less of the
applied chloride was leached in the grass monoliths than in
the barley (means of 20% and 31% respectively). This was
mainly due to a smaller effective aggregate size and thus a
more efficient diffusion-controlled retention.

Abstract: Slow water infiltration in some California soils
results in considerable irrigation water loss through
increased runoff and evaporation. This 25-mo study was
conducted to evaluate the effects of different organic
amendments on soil physical parameters and water infiltration
rates on an irrigated soil. Incorporation of three loadings
(25 Mg ha-1 each) of poultry manure, sewage sludge, barley
straw (Hordeum vulgare L.), and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)
to an Arlington soil (coarse-loamy, mixed, thermic Haplic
Durixeralf) for 2 yr increased soil respiration rates
(139-290%), soil aggreate stability (22-59%), organic C
content (13-84%), soil saccharide content (25-41%), soil
moisture content (3-25%), and decreased soil bulk density
(7-11%). The change in soil physical properties resulted in
significantly increased cumulative water infiltration rates
(18-25%) in the organic-amended plots as compared with the
unamended plots. Although additions of poultry manure and
sewage sludge contributed to higher soil organic matter
compared with straw and alfalfa, the straw amendment was
statistically more effective in increasing soil aggregate
stability, total saccharide content, infiltration rates, and
soil respiration rates and in decreasing bulk density in the
tillage zone. The increase in cumulative infiltration rates
measured with the first organic addition (April 1987-January
1988) were significantly correlated with increased soil
aggregation (P less than or equal to 0.01). Cumulative
infiltration rates during the second (February 1988-September
1988) and third (October 1988-May 1989) organic incorporation
were significantly correlated with decreased bulk density (P
less than or equal to 0.01), but not with aggregate stability.
Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that water
infiltration rates in the organic-amended soils were initially
increased by stimulation of microbial activity, which
increased the stability of soil aggregates. Cumulative

Abstract: Transpiration and expansive growth in leaves are
turgor-dependent processes. Solute concentration and osmotic
potential are inextricably linked to turgor maintenance. An
empirical equation predicting stomatal resistance (Rs) from
bulk leaf turgor would be useful in developing computer
simulations for turfgrass management. A growth-chamber study
was conducted to quantify the relationship between Rs and bulk
leaf turgor in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L. cv. A-34).
The effects of N, K, and irrigation frequency on balk leaf
osmotic potential at full turgor and apoplastic water fraction
(AWF) also were examined, using psychrometric techniques.
Treatments consisted of two rates of N and K and two
irrigation frequencies. An exponential model was used to
describe the relationship between Rs and bulk leaf turgor. The
least squares prediction equation was Rs = 581 + 2500
exp(-6.99 bulk leaf turgor), r2 = 0.69, where bulk leaf turgor
and Rs are expressed in units of MPa and s m-1, respectively.
Increasing the time between rewatering containers to -0.02 MPa
from 1 to 5 d did not influence bulk leaf osmotic potential at
full turgor. For plants watered daily, increasing the amount
of N supplied every 30 d from 35 to 175 kg ha-1 increased bulk
leaf osmotic potential at full turgor 0.22 MPa, while
increasing K from 17.5 to 175 kg ha-1 for the same application
interval caused bulk leaf osmotic potential at full turgor to
decline 0.20 MPa. Altering the supply of N or K did not affect
bulk leaf osmotic potential at full turgor when the containers
were watered every 5 d. Increasing the irrigation interval
from 1 to 5 d caused AWF to decline from 22 to 12%, however,
AWF estimates were highly variable. Results indicate the
combined influences of N and K fertility practices can have a
significant impact on the concentration of osmotically active
solutes within Kentucky bluegrass bulk leaf tissue.

Abstract: Problems of soil salinity occur at Blackspring
Ridge, Alberta, in four different settings. The most seriously
affected area is at the base of the ridge where salinity
appears as severe salt crusting on the surface, salt-tolerant
vegetation, and areas of poor or no crop production.
Blackspring Ridge is a structural bedrock high that is
underlain by Upper Cretaceous sediment of the Horseshoe Canyon
Formation. Bedrock is overlain by fluvial, glacial,
lacustrine, and aeolian sediment. Piezometric data indicate
that groundwater is recharged on and along the upper flanks of
Blackspring Ridge and discharges in southern parts of a
lacustrine plain that surrounds the ridge. Hydraulic
conductivity data, water-level fluctuations, stable isotopes,
and hydrochemical data indicate that the fractured near-
surface bedrock and overlying thin-drift sediment constitute a
zone of active groundwater flow within which salts are
generated and transported. Water discharging from this shallow
system evaporates and forms saline areas at the base of the
ridge. The most seriously affected areas on the lacustrine
plain coincide with places where the water table is less than
1.5 m from the ground surface. A high water table occurs
locally because of the changing topology of geologic units,
and lows in the topographic surface that focus groundwater and
surface water flows. Some proportion of the shallow
groundwater salinized by evaporation is also transported down
the flow system where it mixes with unevaporated water.
Surface water, from snowmelt and precipitation events,
dissolves salt that was deposited at the surface by
evaporating groundwater and redistributes the salt to areas of
lower elevation.

Abstract: A model for the optimal operating policy of a
reservoir for irrigation under a multiple crops scenario using
stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) is developed.
Intraseasonal periods smaller than the crop growth stage
durations form the decision intervals of the model to
facilitate irrigation decisions in real situations. Reservoir
storage, inflow to the reservoir, and the soil moisture in the
irrigated area are treated as state variables. An optimal
allocation process is incorporated in the model to determine
the allocations to individual crops when a competition for
water exists among them. The model also serves as an
irrigation scheduling model in that at any given intraseason
period it specifies whether irrigation is needed and, if it
is, the amount of irrigation to be applied to each crop. The
impact on crop yield due to water deficit and the effect of
soil moisture dynamics on crop water requirements are taken
into account. A linear root growth of the crop is assumed
until the end of the vegetative stage, beyond which the root
depth is assumed to be constant. The applicability of the
model is demonstrated through a case study of an existing
reservoir in India.

Movement in soil
Abstract: Streams draining coniferous forests are often
loaded with solutes such as hydrogen ion, sulphate, nitrate
and aluminium. As a result, fish populations can be reduced
and water quality may fall below recommended potable
standards. The transport of ions into water-courses is
governed by the movement of water. Within most temperate and
tropical areas the stream discharge and chemistry, during
periods of rapid runoff, is dominated by the exfiltration of
water and solutes from stream-side soils. The movement of
water to stream-side or 'riparian' areas remains, however, an
enigma. This paper attempts to explain how the riparian area
might be rapidly recharged during storm events. Two analytical
techniques, the free-surface method and tangent-continuity
method, are applied to hydrological properties monitored on a
steep coniferous hillslope, during a selected storm event.
Comparison of the ionic concentrations of waters within each
component of the hydrological system, is used to verify the
hydrological analysis. Perched water-tables developed within
the basal zones of the O/Ah and Eag soil horizons of the steep
podzolic hillslope, during all major storm events. Most of the
rapid response within the riparian zone could be explained by
lateral flow in these near-surface soil horizons, particularly
in the saturated basal zones. This pathway is corroborated by
the similarity of riparian zone and near-surface (or topsoil)
chemistries. Relatively low concentrations of monomeric
aluminium and relatively high concentrations of chloride,
sodium and hydrogen ion were observed within these zones,
compared with the subsoil (Bsl and B/C) horizons.

Abstract: Soil water residence time is an important aspect of
soil hydrology. It is an important factor affecting the
chemical composition of water in the soil. Water that makes up
recharge and discharge to and from a hydrologic reservoir can
be considered to consist of individual increments of water
called fluid elements. Queueing disciplines can be used to
describe the order in which the fluid elements move through
the reservoir. Possible queueing disciplines that can be
related to soil water movement are last-in-first-out (LIFO),
first-in-first-out (FIFO), and a combination of LIFO and FIFO.
When water budget records are available, the queueing
disciplines can be used as models to allow the calculation of
residence time estimates. Computer algorithms have been
written for the purpose of making estimates of soil water
residence times in a weighable monolith lysimeter.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to quantify the
postsettlement deposition in a 24 900-m2 (2.49-ha) sediment
basin with a single outlet in a 105 4O0-m2 (10.54-ha)
watershed and estimate the sediment delivery to a first-order
stream in northwestern Illinois. Methods included direct
measurements of the eroded sediment deposited in the sediment
basin. Buried A horizons (dated using fly ash as a time
marker) identify the presettlement (approximately 1854)
surface, which was overlain by as much as 116 cm of sediment.
Volume of the sediment within the basin was calculated at 11
394 m3 with a weight of 16 480 Mg. The modern soils of the
sediment basin were characterized, classified, and the spatial
variability of the sedimentation process was examined. Based
on representative measurements of postsettlement sediment
delivery obtained from research of drainage basins having
similar size or soil characteristics, it was inferred that 20
975 Mg of sediment was delivered to the stream with a total of
37 455 Mg of soil being removed from the watershed hillslopes
as a result of accelerated soil erosion. The measured rate of
postsettlement sediment accumulation has been approximately
0.34 cm yr-1. Based on the tightly packed deposits,
redeposition probably occurred as over land flow during storm
events, rather than as overland flow occurring after a
rainfall or as rain-splash transport. However, machinery
traffic and cultivation could have contributed to the high
soil bulk density. Intensive cultivation, biotic activity, and
freeze-thaw are probably responsible for destroying any
evidence of stratification.

Abstract: Laboratory, observations of the redistribution of
water and solute, following one-dimensional and three-
dimensional constant flux infiltration, reveal distinctly
different paterns of water and chemical transport. The
geometry-induced enhancement of capillarity, over gravity in
three dimensions is thought responsible for the rapid
attainment during redistribution of a near-constant water
content, some radial distance r around the dripper. This
renders simple the prediction of the maximum radial extent of
convective solute redistribution, r . Nevertheless, molecular
diffusion about r is the dominant mode of solute transport
during the weak convective redistribution in three dimensions.

Abstract: Field plots in which Phytophthora parasitica was
not detected initially were planted to processing tomatoes,
and the soil was infested 35 or 45 days after planting in 1987
and 1988, respectively, to give average maximum levels of 1-2,
3-4, 7-28, and 29-65 colony-forming units of P. parasitica per
gram of soil. Inoculum levels in the four treatments were
significantly different when averaged across time between
infestation and crop maturity, and disease incidence and
severity increased significantly with increasing inoculum
levels. For example, final incidences of plants with shoot
symptoms were 1.5, 6.4, 14.0, and 24.4% and 0.4, 15.4, 30.2,
and 52.3% for the zero, low, intermediate, and high inoculum
treatments in 1987 and 1988, respectively. Yield was reduced
significantly (20%) only at the highest inoculum level in
1987. However, moderately severe symptoms frequently developed
on roots and shoots with low to high levels of inoculum
without causing yield losses in both years. Extending furrow
irriations from 4 to 24 h in duration did not significantly
affect disease incidence or severity. Crop growth, phenology,
and leaf water potentials were not affected significantly by
the inoculum or irrigation treatments. The results suggest
that development of Phytophthora root rot symptoms on
processing tomatoes depended on the inoculum level applied to
soil early in the cropping season.

Abstract: Groundwater contamination was examined within a
rural setting of the Inner Bluegrass Karst Region of central
Kentucky where potential contaminant sources include soil-
organic matter, organic and inorganic fertilizer, and septic-
tank effluent. To evaluate controls on groundwater
contamination, data on nitrate concentrations and indicator
bacteria in water from wells and springs were compared with
physical and chemical attributes of the groundwater system.
Bacterial densities greater than the recommended limit were
found in all springs and approximately half of the wells,
whereas nitrate concentrations > 45 mg 1-1 were restricted to
20% of the springs and 10% of the wells. Nitrate
concentrations varied markedly in closely spaced wells and
springs, which indicates that land use is not the primary
control on groundwater contamination. Groundwater
contamination is related to the distribution of chemical water
types in the study area. All Ca subtype water was contaminated
with nitrate and bacteria. Ca subtype water occurs in the
shallow, rapidly circulating groundwater zone, which is most
susceptible to contamination. The similarity in nitrate
concentrations between local springs, major springs, and wells
that contain Ca subtype water indicates that the occurrence of
large conduits is not the main control on nitrate and
bacterial contamination of groundwater. Temporal fluctuations
in nitrate concentrations of Ca subtype water are attributed
to seasonal fluctuations in recharge and in plant growth. Ca-
Mg water subtype was generally not contaminated, and Na-HCO3
and Na-Cl water types were not contaminated. Ca-Mg water
subtype, and Na-HCO3 and Na-Cl water types are associated with
longer residence times and reducing conditions, which allow
bacterial die-off and denitrification, respectively.
Differences in residence time and reducing conditions among
the chemical water types and subtypes are attributed to
variations in rock permeability and to the occurrence of
horizontal

Abstract: Saline seeps have emerged over the past 20 yr in
some Southern Plains soils cropped annually to winter wheat
(Triticum aestivum L). Saline seep development is a cumulative
process associated with percolation of small increments of
water over many years through saline strata in recharge areas
to build up water tables over less-permeable strata in lower
slope positions. In this study soluble salt, nitrate, and
water content were determined in Woodward soils (coarse silty,
mixed, thermic Typic Ustochrepts) to a depth of 3 m in
terraced farmland and in adjacent native rangeland upslope
from saline seeps. Significantly (P<0.05) more soluble salt
was present in the surface 3 m of rangeland than in adjacent
farmland. No difference (P>.05) was found in soluble salt
content in farmland between terraces as compared to soluble
salt in terrace channels. Greater amounts (P<0.05) of nitrate
and water were in the 3-m profiles under farmland than under
native range. The soluble salt profiles indicate more water
has percolated through the farmland than the rangeland. The
implication is cultivated land, both in terrace channels and
between terraces, is contributing salt and water to saline
seep. An alternative explanation is terrace channels are the
major recharge areas and lateral flow of this water leaches
salt from farmland between the terraces.

Abstract: Hardpans at 30- to 60-cm depth were found at three
dryland saline-seep sites in southern Alberta. The soils were
sampled for analyses at 0.3-m depth intervals to 1.2 m along
two parallel transects across the sites. Of the acid-
extractable salts, CaCO3 was the most abundant. Shallow
hardpans were found only in the saline, waterlogged, CO3-rich
soil in the discharge areas, generally at the depth where the
1:25 acid-extractable Ca and CO3 contents exceeded 0.6 mol
kg-1 of soil. Similar contents were also found in the recharge
areas, where there was no detectable hardpan. Conditions in
the discharge areas apparently were suitable for the
precipitation and cementation necessary to form the hardpans.
Further research is needed to characterize the hardpans and to
study conditions, mechanisms, and causes for their formation
and their relationships with saline seeps.

Abstract: Fish production and biofiltration provided by sand-

recirculating water. Blue tilapia (Sarotherodon aureus L.)
were stocked as mixed-sex fingerlings at a density of 1.68
kg.m-3 (0.105 lb.ft-3). Fish were fed a commercial chow.
Greenhouse-grown bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), cucumber
(Cucumis sativus L.), and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum
Mill.) were irrigated with water drawn from the bottom of the
tilapia tank for 30 minutes every three hours during the
daylight hours. Drainage from the 0.5 m (1.64 ft) deep sand
beds was returned to the fish tank. Each crop was also grown
in a sandy loam soil. Feeding 1 kg (2.20 lb) of fish food
produced an increase of 0.76 kg (1.68 lb) fish and 1.66 kg
(3.66 lb) of vegetables. Both water quality and nutrient
content were adequate for tilapia and plant growth in sand
culture with no supplemental fertilization. The feasibility of
an integrated, recirculatory system for concurrent production
of vegetables and fish with no additional fertilizer
application was demonstrated.

Abstract: As part of a comprehensive field study designed to
provide data to test stochastic and deterministic models of
water flow and contaminant transport in the vadose zone,
several trench experiments were performed in the semiarid
region of southern New Mexico. The first trench experiment is
discussed by Wierenga et al. (this issue). During the second
trench experiment, a 1.2 m wide by 12 m long area on the north
side of and parallel to a 26.4 m long by 4.8 m wide by 6 m
deep trench was irrigated with water containing tracers using
a carefully controlled drip irrigation system. The irrigated
area was heavily instrumented with tensiometers and neutron
probe access tubes to monitor water movement, and with suction
samplers to monitor solute transport. Water containing tritium
and bromide was applied during the first 11.5 days of the
study. Thereafter, water was applied without tracers for an
additional 64 days. Both water movement and tracer movement
were monitored in the subsoil during infiltration and
redistribution. The experimental results indicate that water
and bromide moved fairly uniformly during infiltration and the
bromide moved ahead of the tritium due to anion exclusion
during redistribution. Comparisons between measurements and
predictions made with a two-dimensional model show qualitative
agreement for two of the three water content measurement
planes. Model predictions of tritium and bromide transport
were not as satisfactory. Measurements of both tritium and
bromide show localized areas of high relative concentrations
and a large downward motion of bromide relative to tritium
during redistribution. While the simple deterministic model
does show larger downward motions for bromide than for tritium
during redistribution, it does not predict the high
concentrations of solute observed during infiltration, nor can
it predict the heterogeneous behavior observed for tritium
during infiltration and for bromide during redistribution.

Abstract: Recent studies of the mobility and solubility of Se
in western San Joaquin Valley soils suggest that this
potentially hazardous element can be managed by controlling
its oxidation-reduction reactions. The soluble species, SeO4,
which is highly mobile and toxic, can, in principle, be
reduced to SeO3, which is strongly adsorbed, or to
organoselenium species, which may volatilize under suitable
conditions. Chemical thermodynamics predicts that the
reduction sequence in soils should be: NO3 leads to SeO4 leads
to MnO2 at pH > 5. The objective of this study was to
establish the position of SeO4 in the kinetic reduction
sequence for a representative western San Joaquin Valley soil
incubated in suspension with its own saturation extract. In a
series of replications of an incubation experiment, it was
observed that native NO3 (plus NO2) concentrations became
undetectable after 100 h in the soil suspension without O2
supply. Soluble Se, either added as Na2SeO4 or indigenous to
the soil disappeared after 50 to 200 h. Native soluble Mn
began to rise after 50 h and showed a sharp increase after 100
h of incubation. Retardation of SeO4 reduction in the presence
of added NO3 was noted. The results indicated that, at native
levels of NO3, effective microbial catalysis of SeO4 reduction
occurred in the soil under the conditions of the experiments,
in agreement with the recent isolation of bacterial species
that can respire SeO4 while oxidizing organic acids typical of
suboxic soil environments.

Abstract: Dissolution and leaching of soil salts by
irrigation water is a primary source of Se to shallow
groundwater in the western San Joaquin Valley, California. In
this study, the mobility and distribution of selenite and
selenate in soils with different irrigation and drainage
histories was evaluated using sorption experiments and an
advection-dispersion model. The sorption studies showed that
selenate (15-12 400 micrograms Se L-1) is not adsorbed to soil
whereas selenite (10-5000 micrograms Se L-1) is rapidly
adsorbed. The time lag between adsorption and desorption of
selenite is considerable, indicating a dependence of reaction
rate on reaction direction (hysteresis). Selenite adsorption
and desorption isotherms were different, and both were
described with the Freundlich equation. Model results and
chemical analyses of extracts from the soil samples showed
that selenite is resistant to leaching and therefore can
represent a potential long-term source of Se to groundwater.
In contrast, selenate behaves as a conservative constituent
under alkaline and oxidized conditions and is easily leached
from soil.

Abstract: An exact-in-time two-dimensional finite element
model for simulating convective-dispersive solute transport in
a tile-drained field is validated against observed data from a
subsurface drainage experiment. The model is capable of
predicting the long-term effects of different irrigation and
drainage practices on the salt distribution in an artificially
drained soil-aquifer system. The model was used to predict
transient changes in the salinity of the soil, the shallow
groundwater table, and the drain effluent. Results are also
presented on the effects of imposing alternative drain
spacing-depth combinations, initial groundwater salinities,
solute distribution coefficients, and different types of
layering of the aquifer, on the computed salinity
distributions in the unsaturated zone, the groundwater, and
the drain effluent.

Abstract: A model of an irrigated, saline stream-aquifer
system is constructed to simulate economic, agronomic, and
hydrologic processes. The model is applied to a section of the
Arkansas Valley in southeastern Colorado and is used to
examine the effect of crop-mixing strategies on long-term
profits. Mixing in excess of crop rotation requirements
provides an index of farmers' willingness to exchange some
profit for a reduction in the risk of short-term loss. The
model contains three components. The economic component
simulates water use decisions that maximize annual profit for
each farm, The hydrologic component simulates salt transport
by employing regression equations that predict changes in
groundwater salinity as a function of hydrologic conditions
and water use decisions. The agronomic component approximates
changes in corn and alfalfa production in response to the
depth and salinity of irrigation applications. Results from
the entire economic-hydrologic-agronomic model are consistent
with the few historical observations available for the site.

Abstract: In order to examine the relationship between mobile
water content and water flux during infiltration, laboratory
experiments were conducted for simultaneous transport of
solute (bromide) and heat using columns of two soils,
Bassendean sand and Collie loam. Within a limited water flux
range, for the same flux the mobile water fraction was lower
for the sand than for the loam. The mobile fraction of soil
water increased with increasing water flux for sand but was
relatively constant for loam. These results have significant
implications in field estimations of deep drainage (recharge
rate) using tracer techniques, and also in the development of
empirical expressions for the relationship between unsaturated
hydraulic conductivity and the effective saturation of
specific soils. Estimates of water flux based on the analysis
of soil temperature changes agreed well with those based on
the solute tracer. This agreement was closest when water flux
using solute was calculated using the mobile water content,
and the heat capacity for the temperature method was
calculated using the total water content.

Abstract: In field solute-transport experiments, two spatial
scales of the continuum of the dispersion process have been
measured: local scale and field scale. The objective of this
experiment was to develop a method for measuring in situ the
transition from the local scale to the field scale during
unsaturated flow conditions. The spatial variability of in
situ solute dispersion was examined in two field sites. Soil-
solution samplers were installed in a transect at a 0.4-m
depth and 0.2-m spacing in both a cultivated and never-
cultivated (forested) site. A pulse of KCl was applied to both
sites under conditions of constant surface flux density of
water, which was applied using a trickle irrigation system.
The variance of solute travel time, V2(t), at different
spatial scales was calculated from moment analysis of
breakthrough curves (BTC) obtained by averaging local BTC
across different spatial scales. The scale dependence of V2(t)
indicated scales of at least 2.8 and 3.8 m were needed to
reach an effective far field variance for the forested and
cultivated sites, respectively. The larger scale in the
cultivated site was due to an increase in horizontal
correlation length scales of soil properties caused by tillage
mixing. The scale dependence of V2(t) can be used to determine
the minimum plot size necessary to include all major
horizontal variations in solute travel time, which can then be
compared with spatial distributions of soil properties
affecting transport.

Abstract: Effects of deficit irrigation and irrigation with
saline drainage water on processing tomato (Lycopersicon
esculentum Mill, cv. UC82B) yields, fruit quality, and fruit
tissue constituents were investigated in two field
experiments. Deficit irrigation reduced fruit water
accumulation and fresh fruit yield, but increased fruit
soluble solids levels and led to higher concentrations of
hexoses, citric acid, and potassium. Irrigation with saline
water had no effect on total fresh fruit yield or hexose
concentration, but slightly reduced fruit water content, which
contributed to increased inorganic ion concentrations. Fruit
set and marketable soluble solids (marketable red fruit yield
X percent soluble solids) were generally unaffected by either
irrigation practice. Water deficit and salinity increased
starch concentration during early fruit development, but, at
maturity, concentrations were reduced to < 1%, regardless of
treatment. Higher fruit acid concentrations resulted from
water deficit irrigation and from irrigation with saline water
relative to the control in one year out of two. These results
support the contention that deficit irrigation and irrigation
with saline drainage water may be feasible crop water
management options for producing high quality field-grown
processing tomatoes without major yield reductions.
Appropriate long-term strategies are needed to deal with the
potential hazards of periodic increases in soil salinity
associated with use of saline drainage water for irrigation.

Abstract: The measurement and simulation of sulfate-S (SO4-S)
mobility in agricultural watersheds is necessary to evaluate
the effect of management practices on associated crop S
deficiencies, enhanced leaching loss of nutrient cations, and
acidification of percolation waters. The concentrations and
amounts of SO4-S in runoff from six grassed and 13 cropped
watersheds in the Southern Plains were, thus, measured over a
4-yr period. Sulfate-S transport in runoff was predicted using
an equation describing the kinetics of SO4-S desorption from
soil and compared with measured values. No SO4-S was added to
any of the watersheds directly as S fertilizer or indirectly
in N or P fertilizer material. No difference (at 5% level) in
SO4-S concentration in runoff from grassed (mean annual value
of 12.6 mg L-1) and cropped (mean annual value of 11.0 mg L-1)
watersheds was observed. Differences in amounts (0.2-18.9 kg
ha-1 yr-1) were a function of runoff volume as influenced by
land management. A general trend of increasing SO4-S
concentration in runoff with decreasing pH was observed, which
may be a function of S dry deposition and soil and crop
conditions. Measured and predicted SO4-S concentrations in
runoff for individual events were not significantly different
(at 5% level), with an average predictive standard error of
1.6 mg L-1 for all watersheds, representing 17% of the
measured concentration. The equation may, thus, provide a
predictive tool in agronomic and environmental studies of SO4-
S movement in agricultural watersheds.

Abstract: The feasibility of using starch-encapsulated
atrazine to minimize convective transport under conditions
favoring preferential flow was evaluated. Forty small,
undisturbed, soil columns (45 cm2 X 3 cm) were removed from an
established no-tillage management site and randomly grouped
into one of five atrazine treatments: 1) technical grade; 2)
borate process, starch-encapsulated; 3) jet-cooked, pearl
starch-encapsulated; 4) jet-cooked, waxy starch-encapsulated;
and 5) untreated control. Columns were drip-irrigated at the
rate of 2.5 cm every three days. Highest atrazine levels, 1.30
mg L-1, were observed in the effluent from columns receiving
technical-grade atrazine after the first irrigation (2.3 pore
volumes), even though piston flow theory indicated that
atrazine should not have appeared before 21.9 pore volumes.
Computer simulations using the general convection-dispersion
equation with first-order dissipation and linear adsorption
also significantly underpredicted atrazine mobility. All
encapsulated formulations, relative to technical-grade,
revealed significantly lower initial atrazine levels in the
effluent. Cumulative effluent concentrations indicate that
after 16.1 pore volumes, 35, 10, 3, and < 1% of the available
atrazine had been leached from the technical-grade, borate,
pearl, and waxy starch formulations, respectively.

Abstract: Bioavailable P (BAP) in agricultural runoff
represents P potentially available for algal uptake and
consists of soluble P (SP) and a variable portion of
particulate P (PP). Evaluation of the impact of agricultural
management on BAP in runoff will aid assessment of the
resultant biological productivity of receiving water bodies.
Soluble P, PP, and bioavailable PP (BPP) (estimated by NaOH
extraction) were determined over a 5-yr period in runoff from
20 unfertilized and fertilized, grassed, and cropped
watersheds in the Southern Plains. Soluble P, BPP, and BAP
loss in runoff was reduced by practices minimizing erosion and
runoff, with respective mean annual amounts ranging from 237
to 122, 1559 to 54, and 1796 to 176 g P ha-1 yr-1 (for peanut-
sorghum [Arachis hypogaea L.-Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and
native grass watersheds, respectively). However, as vegetative
cover improved, BAP (SP plus BPP) comprised a larger portion
of total P (TP) loss (29% for peanut-sorghum and 88% for
native grass). This results from an increasing contribution to
BAP of SP (13% for peanut-sorghum and 69% for native grass
watersheds) and BPP to PP (26% for peanut-sorghum and 69% for
native grass watersheds). Clearly, P bioavailability is a
dynamic function of physiochemical processes controlling
erosion, particle size enrichment, P desorption-dissolution
reactions, and plant residue breakdown, in addition to soil
and fertilizer P management. Hence, the change in trophic
state of a water body may not be adequately reflected by TP
inputs only. To more reliably evaluate the biological response
of a water body to agricultural P inputs, particularly from
conservation tillage practices, it may be necessary to
determine BAP in runoff.

on water quality were modeled using a linked version of CREAMS
and DRAINMOD (Parsons and Skaggs, 1988). The CREAMS
denitrification component and the linked DRAINMOD-CREAMS model
were modified to simulate daily hydrology (runoff,
infiltration, evaporation, and soil moisture content),
erosion, and nutrient processes for different WTM conditions.
Measured data from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, were used to
validate the linked model, and then controlled drainage-
subirrigation (CD-SI) was simulated to investigate the effects
of different WTM systems on runoff, erosion, and nitrogen
losses. Results of the study indicated that the linked models
performed better than the original CREAMS model in predicting
runoff, infiltration, soil moisture content, and erosion, and
that the modified linked model performed better than both
CREAMS and the original linked model in predicting nitrogen
losses from the study site. Results also showed that the CD-SI
system simulated by the modified DRAINMOD-CREAMS model
predicted increased denitrification and lowered nitrate
leaching, unlike the original version. This study concluded
that the CD-SI system may be used as a BMP to reduce nitrogen
leaching to shallow groundwater systems for areas with high
water table conditions.

Abstract: Water and fertility management of processing
tomatoes were studied with high frequency subsurface drip
(SSD), high frequency surface drip (HFSD) and low frequency
surface drip (LFSD). In 1984 and 1985, N, and N + P were
injected uniformly through the drip systems, respectively. In
1987 N + K were injected uniformly through the drip systems,
and the subtreatments were 0, 15, and 30 mg/l P injected daily
in the irrigation water. The yields for all main treatments
increased with injected P (1985) and K 1987. The SDS out-
yielded the HFSD and LFSD in 1985 and 1987 when P was injected
with the irrigation water but was not different in 1984 when
only N was injected.
