  • Conjunctive Use and Management of Groundwater and Surface Water
    Thematic Paper 2 Conjunctive use and management of groundwater and surface water A Global Framework for Action Groundwater Governance - A Global Framework for Action Groundwater Governance - A Global Framework for Action (2011-2014) is a joint project supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), jointly with UNESCO's International Hydrological Programme (UNESCO-IHP), the International Association of Hydrologists (IAH) and the World Bank. The project is designed to raise awareness of the importance of groundwater resources for many regions of the world, and identify and promote best practices in groundwater governance as a way to achieve the sustainable management of groundwater resources. The first phase of the project consists of a review of the global situation of groundwater governance and aims to develop of a Global Groundwater Diagnostic that integrates regional and country experiences with prospects for the future. This first phase builds on a series of case studies, thematic papers and five regional consultations. Twelve thematic papers have thus been prepared to synthesize the current knowledge and experience concerning key economic, policy, institutional, environmental and technical aspects of groundwater management, and address emerging issues and innovative approaches. The 12 thematic papers are listed below and are available on the project website along with a Synthesis Report on Groundwater Governance that compiles the results of the case studies and the thematic papers. The second phase of the project will develop the main project outcome, a Global Framework for Action consisting of a set of policy and institutional guidelines, recommendations and best practices designed to improve groundwater management at country/local level, and groundwater governance at local, national and transboundary levels.

However, 20-30 million ha of irrigated land are now seriously affected by problems of waterlogging and salinisation caused by poor water management and inadequate drainage. Smedema and Ochs (1997) estimate that the affected area is growing by about 5% each year. The World Bank (WB, 1993b) identified inadequate or inappropriate drainage as the most severe long-term problem facing agricultural production. Without effective drainage, the benefits of irrigation are forfeit. Affected lands are characterised by one or more of the following constraints: reduced cultivated area, reduced yield, curtailed cropping seasons, limited choice of crops. Many of the problems constraining drainage are social, economic or institutional in nature. Nonetheless, there are substantial technical issues directly affecting irrigation scheme performance and output, for which practical solutions remain to be developed. Some technologies have been successfully transferred from the developed to the developing world, but there is an urgent need to produce appropriate solutions, particularly for humid areas.

  • 16.3 Numerical Groundwater Models
    say the top 10 m, because the groundwater salinity below this depth does not change over short periods. It does change, however, when deep tubewells are installed and operated. When there is deep pumping, therefore, the assessment must include data from a much greater depth to take into account the effects of partial penetration by the tubewells. To estimate the changes in the salt concentration of the groundwater reservoir, it is necessary to make a water and salt balance of the unsaturated zone. It is through this zone that water and salt move to the groundwater. In areas with shallow watertables, water and salt move to the surface through capillary rise, where the water evaporates and the salt concentrates in the upper soil layers. If we have a salt balance of the unsaturated zone, we can estimate the net quantity of salt that enters the groundwater reservoir through the percolation of precipitation and irrigation water. The salt balance of the groundwater reservoir can then be assessed with this quantity (Brown et al. 1977). For salt balance studies, we can use the same data we used for the total water balance, the water balance of the unsaturated zone, and the water balance of the groundwater reservoir. These studies are usually made in experimental plots or key plots, in combination with studies of soil water and groundwater movements. A network of nested piezometers is necessary to measure the water levels and to take water samples for tests of the salt concentration. It is common to measure the salt concentrations in the unsaturated zone before and after the soil is leached and before and after the growing season (Chapter 15).

  • A Comparison Between Horizontal and Vertical Drainage Systems (Include Pipe Drainage, Open Ditch Drainage, and Pumped Wells) in Anisotropic Soils
    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) ISSN: 2278-1684 Volume 4, Issue 1 (Nov. - Dec. 2012), PP 07-12 www.iosrjournals.org A Comparison between Horizontal and Vertical Drainage Systems (Include Pipe Drainage, Open Ditch Drainage, and Pumped Wells) in Anisotropic Soils Mohammad Valipour Department of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, College of Abureyhan, University of Tehran, Pakdasht, ABSTRACT : Selecting a proper drainage system always has been discussed in agricultural or other fields. In anisotropic soils, this problem is more sensitive for experts. In this study, a comparison has been done between horizontal and vertical drainage in anisotropic soils. For this purpose, using EnDrainWin and WellDrain softwares drain spacing and well spacing, respectively, determined. The results showed that in the same situation, horizontal drainage systems due to the higher spacings between drains (reducing number of drainage and thus reducing the cost) were better than vertical drainage systems. However, vertical drainage systems due to the lower changes in well spacing in different anisotropic soils were suitable for conditions that soil hydraulic conductivity was likely to change. Keywords: Drain discharge, subsurface drainage systems design, watertable control I. INTRODUCTION The design of horizontal and vertical drainage in terms layout, depth and spacing of the drains is often done using subsurface drainage equations with parameters like drain depth, depth of the watertable, soil depth, hydraulic conductivity of the soil and drain discharge. The design of horizontal and vertical drainage systems has been aimed at many researches, which some of them will be described in the following. Geng et al. (2012) presented analytical solutions for a single vertical drain with vacuum and time- dependents preloading in membrane and membraneless systems.

A water economic culture is now following a technical one, imposed when the large irrigation schemes were built. Both are generally imported from different cultural and instituttional environments.

  • Drainage by Wells on Web Page
    1 Drainage by wells On web page https://www.waterlog.info/lectures.htm Well drainage means subsurface drainage of agricultural lands by wells. Agricultural land is drained by pumped wells (vertical drainage) to improve the soils by controlling water table levels and soil salinity. It is an alternative for horizontal drainage by pipes or ditches. With a well drainage system one can lower the level of the water table, evacuate salts from the soil so that the growing conditions of the plants are improved. Contents • 1. Design • 2. Aquifer not uniform • 3. References 1. Design Although one well may be sufficient to solve groundwater and soil salinity problems in a few hectares, one usually needs a number of wells, because the problems may be widely spread. The wells may be arranged in a triangular, square or rectangular pattern. The design of the well field concerns depth, capacity, discharge, and spacing of the wells.[1] 1. The discharge capacity is found from a water balance. 2. The depth is selected in accordance to aquifer properties. The well filter must be placed in a permeable soil layer. 3. The spacing between the wells can be calculated with a well spacing equation using discharge, aquifer properties, well depth and optimal depth of the water table. The determination of the optimum depth of the water table is the realm of drainage research . The basic, steady state, equation for flow to fully penetrating wells (i.e. wells reaching the impermeable base) in a regularly spaced well field in a uniform unconfined (preactic) aquifer with an hydraulic conductivity that is isotropic is: Q = 2π K (Db – Dm) (Dw – Dm) / ln (Ri / Rw) where Q = safe well discharge - i.e.

  • A Theoretical Study of Subsurface Drainage Model Simulation of Drainage Flow and Leaching in Salt Affected Irrigated Fields
    A Theoretical Study of Subsurface Drainage Model Simulation of Drainage Flow and Leaching in Salt Affected Irrigated Fields 1 2 E. A. Ampofo * and T. W. Tanton 1 Department of Soil Science, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana 2 School of Civil Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK. *Corresponding author; Email: edwardakwasi @yahoo.com Abstract A three-dimensional variable-density groundwater flow model, the SEAWAT model, was used to assess the influence of subsurface drain spacing, evapotranspiration and irrigation water quality on salt concentration at the base of the root zone, leaching and drainage in salt affected irrigated land. The study was carried out on a conceptual uniform homogenous irrigated field of shallow watertable depth of 0.5 m and aquifer salt concentration of 7200 mg/l with an impermeable layer at 10 m depth and impermeable field boundaries. The model was run for 10 years with an irrigation rate (applied recharge) of 8 mm/d and salt concentration of 1,500 mg/l, over a range of drain spacings. During the 10-year drainage period, the simulated concentrations at the base of the root zone and the discharge rates were the same at all the spacing when evapotranspiration was not included. However, upon inclusion of evapotranspiration, the simulated concentration at the base of the root zone ranged from about 5,200 to about 6200 mg/l, the discharge rate ranged from 2.3 to 1.9 mm/d. When the applied recharge concentration was changed to 1,000 mg/l and 700 mg/l, but with all the other parameters maintained, the simulated concentration at the base of the root zone ranged from 3,700 to 4,400 mg/l, and from 2,800 to 3200 mg/l for the different spacing, respectively.
