Optimal Conjunctive Management of Supplemental Irrigation Reservoirs and Cropland
Abstract
dc:descriptionMost claypan soil areas have inadequate groundwater supplies to provide wells for irrigation. Therefore, the establishment of reservoirs for storing rainfall and runoff water, seems to be the most likely source of irrigation water in such areas. However, the storage of runoff water for later reuse in the irrigation of crops when soil moisture supplies are low also means the storage of sediment carried in the runoff. Sediment deposited in a reservoir reduces its water-storage capacity and consequently, the amount of water available for irrigation of crops.
