Efficient water management is one of the key elements in successful operation of irrigation schemes in arid and semiarid regions. An integrated water management model was developed by combining an unsaturated flow model and a groundwater simulation model. These combined models serve as a tool for decision making in irrigation water management to maintain the water tables at a safe depth. The integrated model was applied on a regional scale in Sirsa Irrigation Circle, covering about a 0.42 million ha area in the northwestern part of Haryana, India, which is faced with serious waterlogging and salinity problems in areas underlain with saline ground irrigated by the canal network. The model was calibrated using the agrohydrologic data for the period 1977–1981 and validated for the period 1982–1990 by keeping the calibrating parameters unchanged. The model was used to study the long-term impact of two water management interventions related to the canal irrigation system—change in pricing system of irrigation water, and water supply according to demand—on the extent of waterlogging risk. Both of these strategies, if implemented, would considerably reduce aquifer recharge and consequently waterlogging risk, compared to the existing practice. The water supply according to demand strategy was slightly more effective in reducing aquifer recharge than the water pricing intervention. The implementation of the proposed water pricing policy would pose no problem in fitting into the existing irrigation system, and thus it would be easier to implement, compared to the water supply according to demand strategy, when taking technical, financial, and social considerations into account. 相似文献

Event and Continuous Hydrologic Modeling with HEC-HMS 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Event hydrologic modeling reveals how a basin responds to an individual rainfall event (e.g., quantity of surface runoff, peak, timing of the peak, detention). In contrast, continuous hydrologic modeling synthesizes hydrologic processes and phenomena (i.e., synthetic responses of the basin to a number of rain events and their cumulative effects) over a longer time period that includes both wet and dry conditions. Thus, fine-scale event hydrologic modeling is particularly useful for understanding detailed hydrologic processes and identifying the relevant parameters that can be further used for coarse-scale continuous modeling, especially when long-term intensive monitoring data are not available or the data are incomplete. Joint event and continuous hydrologic modeling with the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) is discussed in this technical note and an application to the Mona Lake watershed in west Michigan is presented. Specifically, four rainfall events were selected for calibrating/verifying the event model and identifying model parameters. The calibrated parameters were then used in the continuous hydrologic model. The Soil Conservation Service curve number and soil moisture accounting methods in HEC-HMS were used for simulating surface runoff in the event and continuous models, respectively, and the relationship between the two rainfall-runoff models was analyzed. The simulations provided hydrologic details about quantity, variability, and sources of runoff in the watershed. The model output suggests that the fine-scale (5?min time step) event hydrologic modeling, supported by intensive field data, is useful for improving the coarse-scale (hourly time step) continuous modeling by providing more accurate and well-calibrated parameters. 相似文献

South Florida has a complex regional hydrologic system that consists of thousands of miles of networked canals, sloughs, highly pervious aquifers, open areas subjected to overland flow and sheet flow, agricultural areas and rapidly growing urban areas. This region faces equally complex problems related to water supply, flood control, and water quality management. Advanced computational methods and super fast computers alone have limited success in solving modern day problems such as these because the challenge is to model the complexity of the hydrologic system, while maintaining computational efficiency and acceptable levels of numerical errors. A new, physically based hydrologic model for South Florida called the regional simulation model (RSM) is presented here. The RSM is based on object oriented design methods, advanced computational techniques, extensible markup language, and geographic information system. The RSM uses a finite volume method to simulate two-dimensional (2D) surface and groundwater flow. It is capable of working with unstructured triangular and rectangular mesh discretizations. The discretized control volumes for 2D flow, canal flow and lake flow are treated as abstract “water bodies” that are connected by abstract “water movers.” The numerical procedure is designed to work with these and many other abstractions. An object oriented code design is used to provide robust and highly extensible software architecture. A weighted implicit numerical method is used to keep the model fully integrated and stable. A limited error analysis was carried out and the results were compared with analytical error estimates. The paper describes an application of the model to the L-8 basin in South Florida and the strength of this approach in developing models over complex areas. 相似文献

High water table and soil salinization processes are common in irrigated fields in Israel. Subsurface drainage systems are a common technique to solve soil salinity problems. Subsurface drainage models can contribute to the efficiency of the drainage system as it can assist in the selection of the proper drainage system and its proper placement in the field. In this study we used the MODFLOW groundwater flow model to simulate groundwater levels in Jahir irrigated fields, the Jordan Valley, Israel. Using a three-layer groundwater flow model, the most efficient drainage system was found to be a combination of deep drains with relief wells and a pump placed in the area with soil salinity problem and upward hydraulic pressure. It was found that simulated drainage system can yield nearly 200,000?m3 of water per year. Given certain information, a spatially distributed groundwater flow model such as MODFLOW can provide more reliable information than different analytical solutions for planning of an effective subsurface drainage system. 相似文献

A model is introduced that utilizes geographic information systems (GIS) to predict relative reductions in crop yield due to salinity and waterlogging at a field-scale by incorporating spatially and temporally variable crop, climatic, and irrigation data to simulate crop yields. This model utilizes soil and water data commonly collected in field-scale studies. The model’s algorithms are integrated into a GIS (ARCVIEW 3.2) as an extension. The result is a model that does not require extraordinary data collection but will provide practical insight into the spatial effects of salinity and waterlogging on crop yields. 相似文献

Knowledge-Based Model for Supplementary Irrigation Assessment in Agricultural Watersheds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper a knowledge-based model for supplementary irrigation assessment in rainfed agricultural watersheds is presented. The supplementary irrigation assessment problem is divided into different components and is modeled separately. Geographic Information System (GIS) is used to aggregate spatially varying attributes required for the modeling. A graphical user interface is developed in a GIS platform by using the ERDAS macro language tools. The model was applied to two case study areas in India: a subwatershed of Gandheshwari area (West Bengal), and Harsul watershed (Maharashtra). In the Gandheshwari subwatershed, the water availability was found to be inadequate to meet the irrigation requirement and hence the model identified the areas that can be irrigated with different outsource water supply. On the other hand, surface runoff generated in the Harsul watershed was found to be sufficient to meet the supplementary irrigation requirement, thereby showing the feasibility for supplementary irrigation in the area. Using the model, the effect of any rainfall condition can be simulated and hence appropriate measures can be taken in advance to reduce the risk of crop failure. 相似文献

A one-dimensional water and solute transport UNSATCHEM model is calibrated and validated with a saline water use experiment for wheat and cotton crops. The model is further employed for regional scale salinity modeling with distributed data on soil, irrigation water supply, and its quality from six representative locations from the Kheri command of the Bhakra irrigation system. The wheat–cotton crop rotation, the main rotation in the command, is considered during long-term simulations. The CROPWAT model is used to determine the evapotranspiration requirements of different wheat and cotton crops, while soil water retention parameters are estimated by the RETC model. Atmospheric water and solute boundary conditions are assumed at the top boundary, while free drainage is considered for the lower boundary, as the watertable in the command is sufficiently deep. Simulated salinity and yield values are compared with observed values for regional validation of the model. Critical areas in the command are identified using regional scale modeling results, and applying irrigation water availability and root zone salinity criteria. Guidelines for sustainable conjunctive water use planning are for the Kheri command to get optimum agricultural production despite the use of saline water for irrigation under prevailing scenarios of water availability and its quality. 相似文献

Potential solutions to high soil salinity levels and waterlogging problems are investigated on a regional scale using calibrated finite-difference flow and mass transport modeling for a portion of the Lower Arkansas River Valley in Colorado. A total of 38 alternatives incorporating varying degrees of recharge reduction, canal seepage reduction, subsurface drainage installation, and pumping volume increases are modeled over three irrigation seasons (1999–2001). Six performance indicators are used to evaluate the effectiveness of these alternatives in improving agroecological conditions, compared to existing conditions. Predicted average regional decrease in water table elevation (as great as 1.93 m over the irrigation season) is presented for selected alternatives, as well as the spatial mapping of results. Decrease in soil salinity concentration (with regional and seasonal average reduction as high as 950 mg/L) is also predicted and mapped. Estimated groundwater salinity changes, reduction in total salt loading to the river, increase in average regional crop yield, and changes in net water consumption indicate the potential for marked regional-scale enhancements to the irrigation-stream-aquifer system. 相似文献

Storage and release functions of western U.S. traditional river valley irrigation systems may counteract early and rapid spring river runoff associated with climate variation. Along the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico, we instrumented a 20-km-long irrigated valley to measure water balance components from 2005 to 2007. Hydrologic processes of the system were incorporated into a system dynamics model to test scenarios of changed water use. Of river water diverted into an earthen irrigation canal system, some was consumed by crop evapotranspiration (7.4%), the rest returned to the river as surface return flow (59.3%) and shallow groundwater return flow that originated as seepage from canals (12.1%) and fields (21.2%). The modeled simulations showed that the coupled surface water irrigation system and shallow aquifer act together to store water underground and then release it to the river, effectively retransmitting river flow until later in the year. Water use conversion to nonirrigation purposes and reduced seepage from canals and fields will likely result in higher spring runoff and lower fall and winter river flow. 相似文献

The predictive capability of a two-dimensional (2D)-hydrodynamic model, the finite-element surface water modeling system (FESWMS), to describe adequately the flow characteristics around emergent bendway weir structures was evaluated. To examine FESWMS predictive capability, a sensitivity analysis was performed to identify the flow conditions and locations within the modeled reach, where FESWMS inputs for Manning’s n and eddy viscosity must be spatially distributed for to better represent the river bed flow roughness characteristics and regions where the flow is highly turbulent in nature. The sensitivity analysis showed that high flow conditions masked the impact of Manning’s n and eddy viscosity on the model outputs. Therefore, the model was calibrated under low flow conditions when the structures were emergent and had the largest impact on the flow pattern and model inputs. Detailed field measurements were performed under low flow conditions at the Raccoon River, Iowa for model calibration and verification. The model predictions were examined for both spatially averaged and distributed Manning’s n and eddy viscosity model input values within the study reach for an array of emergent structures. Spatially averaged model inputs for Manning’s n and eddy viscosity provided satisfactory flow depth predictions but poor velocity predictions. Estimated errors in the predicted values were less than 10% for flow depth and about 60% for flow velocity. Distributed Manning’s n and eddy viscosity model inputs, on the contrary, provided both satisfactory flow depth and velocity predictions. Further, distributed inputs were able to mimic closely the recirculation flow pattern in the wake region behind the bendway weir structures. Estimated errors in the predicted values were less than 10 and 25% for flow depth and velocity, respectively. Overall, in the case of distributed model inputs, FESWMS provided satisfactory results and allowed a closed depiction of the flow patterns around the emergent bendway weirs. These findings suggest that 2D models with spatially distributed values for Manning’s n and eddy viscosity can adequately replicate the velocity vector field around emergent structures and can be valuable tools to river managers, except in cases when detailed three-dimensional flow patterns are needed. The study was limited to the examined low flow conditions, and more field data, especially under high flow conditions, are necessary to generalize the findings of this study regarding the model prediction capabilities. 相似文献

This paper presents a model to estimate the soil salinity for different on-farm management strategies under irrigated conditions. It is based on research in the Mani?oba irrigation scheme in northeast Brazil, where upward flow from the shallow water table is the main cause of soil salinization. The model calculates soil water and salt balances for the topsoil. It is calibrated for the topsoil of abandoned plots and for the root zone (0.9?m) of mango trees. Simulating the effect of different management scenarios on soil salinity may help to organize the switch from intensive surface irrigation to more efficient irrigation practices. 相似文献

Case Study: Flood Mitigation of the Muda River, Malaysia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The 2003 flood of the Muda River reached 1,340?m3/s at Ladang Victoria and adversely impacted 45,000 people in Malaysia. A flood control remediation plan proposed a levee height based on a 50-year discharge of 1,815?m3/s obtained from hydrologic models. This design discharge falls outside the 95% confidence intervals of the flood frequency analysis based on field measurements. Instream sand and gravel mining operations also caused excessive riverbed degradation, which largely off sets apparent benefits for flood control. Pumping stations have been systematically required at irrigation canal intakes. Several bridge piers have also been severely undermined and emergency abutment protection works were needed in several places. Instream sand and gravel mining activities should be replaced with offstream mining in the future. 相似文献

RiverSpill is a geographic information system-based software package that calculates time-of-travel and concentration of contaminants in streams and rivers. The purpose of RiverSpill is to serve as a tool for response, planning, and training for the protection of the nation’s surface drinking water from deliberate (homeland security) threats. RiverSpill uses real-time stream flow data, a hydrologically connected stream network, and the locations and populations served by each public, surface drinking water intake. Accidental water contamination events such as spills from transportation infrastructures (highway, railroad, and pipeline), wastewater treatment plants, and hazardous materials storage sites may also be simulated. RiverSpill contains a comprehensive database of potential constituents of concern and their chemical or biological attributes. Spills may be modeled as either instantaneous or continuous events. Times-of-travel and concentration curves calculated with RiverSpill have been compared with those measured in several streams and rivers using dye. The dye measurements have been used to evaluate and calibrate RiverSpill to specific rivers. 相似文献

The Land Use Input Canal Output Model (LUICOM) was created for the purpose of predicting canal-mediated, total suspended solids (TSS) loading in receiving estuaries. Tidal flushing (related to the tidal prism) within a subject estuary (i.e., Yellow Bluff Creek) was also evaluated. Estimates of flushing times were based on those estimated for Georgia and South Carolina creeks that have better coverage of hypsometric data. Two rain events were sampled for this effort, and TSS concentrations predicted by LUICOM compared favorably with observed values. With subsidence of each rain event, TSS concentrations gradually decreased to baseline concentration in the receiving estuary. Moreover, LUICOM provided a reasonable estimate of the time of peak TSS. The results of this study suggest that TSS measured in the subject canal and creek increase as the result of significant rain events (>1.0 in. in 3?h). The correlation between model-derived and measured TSS values suggest LUICOM could be used to evaluate changes in a basin’s land use as it relates to predicting subsequent increases in TSS discharges. The simplicity of the model makes it an ideal tool for resource managers concerned with changes in land use within coastal areas. 相似文献

The present approach adopted for suggesting alternative sustainable land use comprises taking into consideration present land use/land cover, soils, slope, and geomorphology. However, this paper deals with watershed management from a different perspective, by stressing the development of the watershed for agriculture activities; first, by implementing soil and water conservation works. The next step is to suggest alternative sustainable land uses based on soil and water conservation measures, groundwater prospects, land capability, and present land use/land cover in the area. The new approach is found to be very useful, as it takes into consideration basic factors necessary for the overall development and management of the watershed, and ensures stoppage of further degradation of the resources through appropriate soil conservation measures and land uses. 相似文献

In a case study of Lake Ogallala, a reservoir in central Nebraska, large scale particle tracking velocimetry (LSPTV) is used to measure surface velocities in a physical model of the lake. Knowledge of flow patterns in the lake is essential for predicting the transport of dissolved oxygen (DO). A preliminary comparison with acoustic Doppler velocimetery (ADV) measurements shows that both LSPTV and large scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) accurately measure surface velocities. In the present study, LSPTV works better near flow boundaries and in regions with high velocity gradients since smaller sampling areas are possible, and unlike LSPIV measurements, LSPTV measurements are unbiased. Discharges measured at eight different transects using LSPTV were within 6% of the discharge measured with an orifice, the worst correlation occurring where the bathymetry was slightly nonuniform (making application of the 1/7-power law suspect). In the prototype, DO content periodically drops to unacceptable levels throughout most of the Keystone Basin (a subbasin of Lake Ogallala). Predicted flow patterns suggest that low DO problems are exacerbated in regions with low velocities since oxygen consumed by macrophytes during nighttime hours is not quickly replenished. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to analyze health effects of arsenic pollution of drinking water using a geographical information system (GIS). The paper reports the regional impact of arsenic contamination in six administrative blocks of the central part of the Murshidabad district, West Bengal, India. In this area about 1,248,580 people are exposed to arsenic pollution out of whom 388,316 people are exposed to arsenic concentrations above 0.05?mg/L, the WHO maximum permissible level of arsenic in drinking water. The study estimates that 65% of the total area of the six blocks has arsenic concentrations below 0.05?mg/L, 26.12% of the area has arsenic concentrations above 0.05?mg/L, and for the rest of the area no arsenic distribution data available. The total number of expected death cases has been estimated considering the percent of risk involved in a concentration range and corresponding total population using such water for drinking purpose. The analysis forecasts that 11,890 people may risk death due to arsenic pollution in the whole life span. The maximum number of death cases is expected in Domkal and Beldanga 1 blocks and the minimum number of death cases is expected in Block Bhagabangola 2. This study also reports a comparison between the theoretical expectation of death cases and actual reported arsenicosis cases for the Domkal block. The areas of theoretical expectation and the areas of actually reported cases match fairly well except in a few cases. The present study helps planning and implementing of priority-based arsenic mitigation options. 相似文献

Significant improvements in the profitability and sustainability of irrigated areas can be obtained by the application of new technologies. In this work, a model for the simulation of water flows in irrigation districts is presented. The model is based on the combination of a number of modules specialized on surface irrigation, open channel distribution networks, crop growth modeling, irrigation decision making, and hydrosaline balances. These modules are executed in parallel, and are connected by a series of variables. The surface irrigation module is based on a numerical hydrodynamic routine solving the Saint Venant equations, including the heterogeneity of soil physical properties. The simulation of water conveyance is performed on the basis of the capacity of the elements of the conveyance network. Crop growth is simulated using a scheme derived from the well-known model CropWat. The irrigation decision making module satisfies water orders considering water stress, yield sensitivity to stress, multiple water sources, and the network capacity. Finally, the hydrosaline module is based on a steady state approach, and provides estimations of the volume and salinity of the irrigation return flows for the whole irrigation season. The application of the model to district irrigation management and modernization studies may be limited by the volume of data required. In a companion paper, the model is calibrated, validated, and applied to a real irrigation district. 相似文献

In November 1997 an outflow of up to 0.4?m3/s of groundwater from deep seated aquifers occurred in the open-cast lignite mine of Hambach, Germany. Although this incident was technically under control and did not affect the mining activities, it was studied in a joint research project to exclude recurrences at other locations. In this paper we summarize the results from a hydromechanical point of view. One key issue of this paper is to present a continuous and consistent explanation of the progression of the incident based on an analysis of the available geological, hydraulic, and chemical data. The probability of similar incidents is highly unlikely due to the rare combination of a thin sealing clay smear in the fault, high pressure gradient, and fractured coal seams in direct contact with the sealing clay. As a perspective, strategies for a responsible mining policy are derived based on the outcome of this study to prevent a recurrence of this type of incident and to ensure optimal safety for the mining operations with minimum effects on water resources. 相似文献

Landscapes continuously irrigated without proper drainage for a long period of time frequently experience a rise in water-table levels. Waterlogging and salinization of irrigated areas are immediate impacts of this situation in arid areas, especially when groundwater salinity is high. Flooding and heavy rainfall further recharge groundwater and accelerate these impacts. An understanding of regional groundwater dynamics is required to implement land and water management strategies. The purpose of this study is to quantify the impact of flood and rain events on spatial scales using a geographic information system (GIS). This paper presents a case study of shallow water-table levels and salinity problems in the Wakool irrigation district located in the Murray irrigation area with groundwater average electrical conductivity greater than 25,000?μS/cm. This area has experienced several large flood events during the past several decades. Piezometric data are interpolated to generate a water-table surface for each event by applying the Kriging method of spatial interpolation using the linear variogram model. Spatial and temporal analysis of major flood events over the last four decades is conducted using calculated water-table surfaces to quantify the change in groundwater storage and shallow water-table levels. The drainage impact of a subsurface drainage scheme partially covering the area has also been quantified in this paper. The results show that flooding and local rainfall have a significant impact on shallow groundwater. The study also found that postflood climatic conditions (evaporation and rainfall) play a significant role in the groundwater dynamics of the area. The spatial net average groundwater recharge during the flooding events ranges from 0.19 to 0.52?ML/ha. The GIS-based techniques described in this paper can be used for net recharge estimation in semiarid regions where it is important to quantify net recharge impacts of regional flooding and local rainfall. The spatial visualization of the net recharge in a GIS environment can help prioritize management actions by local communities. 相似文献
