importance of soil science in irrigation and drainage system

This publication will improve the ability to understand fundamental irrigation water management parameters. For these crops, they have proven to be accurate, reliable and inexpensive. A drainage sy stem is an artificial system of land forming, surface and /or subsurface Irrigation and drainage, artificial application of water to land and artificial removal of excess water from land, respectively. One of the man-made processes is related to irrigation. 60, USDA Salinity Laboratory in Riverside, Calif.). As shown by the dotted lines in Figure 2, this soil has a loam texture. Drainage systems maintain balanced moisture in your garden to reduce soil erosion. 13 0 obj For example, in the Renshaw loam profile (Figure 4), the majority of the plant roots will be in the top 18 inches because the gravel below is a poor rooting environment. Most irrigated soils in North Dakota are mineral soils. Soil water in the pore spaces can be divided into two different forms: gravitational water and capillary water (Figure 6). A soil series generally is named after a town near the site that represents the typical properties for that soil. Some land requires irrigation or drainage before it is possible to use it for any agricultural production; other land profits from either practice to increase production. Figure 3. In many cases, yield reductions may occur long before this point is reached. endobj Capillary water is the most important for crop production because it is held by soil particles against the force of gravity. <> Any location in the state can have what might be considered "wet or dry" weeks, months and even years. (1993). The highest category (soil order) contains 11 basic soil groups, each with a very broad range of properties. This publication was authored by Thomas F. Scherer, Extension agricultural engineer; Bruce Seelig, former Extension water quality specialist; and David Franzen, Extension soil science specialist, NDSU, 1996. However, total crop water use will vary from growing season to growing season due to changes in climatic variables (air temperature, amount of sunlight, humidity, wind), and soil differences among fields (root depth, soil water holding capacities, texture, structure, etc.). S3 - High-sodium water: Will produce harmful levels of exchangeable sodium in most soils and requires special soil management, good drainage, high leaching and high organic matter additions. Illustration of the energy differentials that drive the water movement from the soil into the roots, up the stalk, into the leaves and out into the atmosphere. The effectiveness of added calcium depends on its solubility in the irrigation water. Even with adequate permeability, special management for salinity control may be required and plants with good salt tolerance should be selected. The course consists of 16 units in two modules which deal with introduction to irrigation and soil reaction, erosion and drainage. SOIL-WATER RELATIONSHIP The dotted line depicts a loam soil that has 45 percent sand, 35 percent silt and 20 percent clay content. Advantage: Removes Toxic Materials and Disease Organisms Continuous, heavy rains may cause the water to rise, which can lead to flash floods, especially when you live near a big body of water. For example, a low spot in the field where water typically accumulates after a rain may become a place that is continually wet with the addition of irrigation water. During the course of a growing season, plants will extract about 40 percent of their water from the top quarter, 30 percent from the second quarter, 20 percent from the third quarter and 10 percent from the bottom quarter of the root zone. The two most important factors to look for in an irrigation water quality analysis are the total dissolved solids (TDS) and the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR). Knowledge of the water use patterns during the different growth stages has a major influence on how an irrigation system is designed and managed. The county soil survey contains detailed soils information for any parcel of land in North Dakota. On an irrigation water test report, you might see one of the following units:: millimhos per centimeter (mmhos/cm)micromhos per centimeter (μmhos/cm)deci-Siemens per meter (dS/m)micro-Siemens per centimeter (μS/cm), 1,000 μmhos/cm = 1 mmho/cm = 1 dS/m = 1,000 μS/cm. Topography, or the "lay of the land," has a large impact on whether a field can be irrigated. endobj The increase of "adjusted SAR" from the SAR is a relative indication of the increase in sodium hazard due to the presence of these ions. Land Drainage Manual - A farmer's practical guide to draining grassland in Ireland. Most crops will be damaged permanently if the soil moisture content is allowed to reach the wilting point. For a center pivot, a tower that travels through the low spot could become stuck. In North Dakota, soil series that have bedrock 10 to 20 inches below the surface are described as shallow. Complex areas have short slopes that extend in several directions and consist of convex and concave slopes much like the knoll and pothole topography found on glacial till plains. Plants can extract only the soil water that is in contact with their roots. Plant growth depends on rapid rates of exchange. endobj <> o�t;oġt2�Ŝ�������Fp�pp�[�3o4�ā�00[�Am 8�q�$�`���8|�F�W:�h�f_���l���|�w%��n��1�8��ӎ'��B(�\�IJ��I endstream <>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 720 540] /Contents 4 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 0>> [ 7 0 R] Irrigation scheduling is the science and/or art of applying the proper amount of water at the proper time to provide the maximum useable soil moisture in a plant’s root zone without causing harmful stress. The percent of slope is determined by measuring the difference in vertical elevation in feet over 100 feet of horizontal distance. Good irrigation management begins with the accurate measurement of the rain amount received on each irrigated field. Many studies have been made of techniques to suppress evaporation. Thus irrigation is essential for the general growth of the plant. When dried in an oven, nearly all water is removed from the soil. The infiltration rate of medium- and fine-textured soils, such as loams, silts and clays, is lower than coarse-textured soils and is influenced by the stability of the soil aggregates. As shown in Figure 1, the largest particles are sand, the smallest are clay, and silt is in between. Carbonate and bicarbonate ions in the water combine with calcium and magnesium to form compounds that precipitate out of solution. The topographic relief will affect the type of irrigation system to be used, the water conveyance system (ditches or pipes), drainage requirements and water erosion control practices. The depth to a contrasting soil layer of sand and gravel (Figure 4) can affect irrigation management decisions. Necessity of Irrigation 1.3. : 6 (June) (Special Issue) Conference Proceeding Full Paper. Capillary water held in the soil beyond the wilting point can be removed only by evaporation. When capillary forces move water from a shallow water table upward, salts may precipitate and concentrate in the soil as water is removed by plants and evaporation.. Crop water use, also called evapotranspiration or ET, often is given as a daily estimate of the combination of the amount of water transpired by plants and the amount of evaporation from the soil surface around the plants. For example, in an area which has a lot of buildings like residences and shops, there cannot be open drains that flow through the areas. S2 - Medium-sodium water: Will present an appreciable sodium hazard in fine-textured soils, especially under low leaching conditions. For irrigation planning purposes, the average precipitation during the growing season is not a good yardstick to determine a need for irrigation. The two primary ways that water is held in the soil for plants to use are capillary and gravitational forces. Drainage on hill slopes helps to reduce the risk of soil slippage. Thus, as soil moisture tension increases (the soil water pressure becomes more negative), the amount of energy exerted by a plant to remove the water from the soil also must increase. Field capacity. The movement of air, water and plant roots through a soil is affected by soil structure. In general, simple and complex slopes greater than 1 percent should be irrigated only with sprinkler or drip systems. Soil depth refers to the thickness of the soil materials that provide structural support, nutrients and water for plants. We rely on science, not guesswork, when it comes to drainage systems. 3 0 obj The Soil and Water Testing Laboratory in the Soil Science Department at NDSU provides soil and water compatibility recommendations for irrigation. Because some crops are sensitive to boron, it often is included in the analysis. The increased sodium hazard often is expressed as "adjusted SAR." 11 0 obj 8 0 obj Introduction to irrigation and drainage 1. 1. Under SAND, V.F. A boron concentration greater than 2 parts per million (ppm) may be a problem for certain sensitive crops, especially in years that require large quantities of irrigation water. endobj Definition of Irrigation 1.2. Irrigation scheduling is a balancing act between applying too much water or not enough to meet plant needs at a particular stage of growth. Planting a deep-rooted crop, such as alfalfa, or installing subsurface drainage can accomplish water table control. As the water evaporates, salts dissolved from the soil deposit and accumulate at the soil surface. Improved surface and subsurface drainage is necessary for some Minnesota soils to optimize the crop environment and reduce production risks. When discussing the water-holding capacity associated with a particular soil series, the water available for plant use in the root zone commonly is given (Table 3). Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall. A common form of irrigation scheduling is the “replacement” method. Abstract Whereas irrigation and drainage are intended to address the shortage and surplus of soil water, respectively, an important aspect to address is also the management of salinity. This method is popular because it can be combined with other field activities, such as scouting for insects, soil sampling for nitrogen or petiole sampling. Diagram showing the classification of irrigation water. The practice of irrigation scheduling is basically a decision methodology. =��U�Ʊ_c�����d�� xd��`���85RG\�9j��qGZ�3�0�8��N�BK{�������aO>�J��Z6�,ǟ���夳S�z����'ŕS|��Uf^r�}����"d��p�L�6-G.

As the pores are filled, water moves through the soil by gravity and capillary forces. Soil horizon depths for four representative North Dakota soil series. Figure 10. 4 0 obj <> The checkbook method is a soil moisture accounting method that uses daily crop water use values and soil water-holding capacities to predict the time and amount of water needed to replenish what has been removed from the root zone. Many soil series do not have a deep, uniform soil profile. Wet soils; 7 Artificial Drainage. Published copies can be found at local NRCS and NDSU Extension offices, but they may not have the latest soil survey information. The current research aims to assess and evaluate the impact of controlled drainage and irrigation management on saving irrigation water, soil salinity and crop yield. Land Grant. Precipitation rates, plant water requirements and soil types are extremely important, but commonly forgotten factors that apply to irrigation systems. Plants with moderate salt tolerance can be grown in most cases without special practices for salinity control. As dissolved salts increase in soil water, the energy expended by a plant to extract water also must increase even though the soil moisture tension remains the same. The application of water to plants is made naturally through rainfall and artificially through irrigation. An irrigation scheduling procedure called the "checkbook" method has been used successfully for many years in North Dakota. Soil surveys of every county in North Dakota have been completed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil textural triangle. Research Institution. Drainage reduces soil and nutrient loss from runoff and can help avoid soil erosion. Restrictive subsurface layers often interfere with root penetration. Saline and sodic soils may be of natural or man-made origins. Figure 6. Gravitational water generally moves quickly downward in the soil due to the force of gravity. Most soil series are assigned to a single permeability class based on the most restrictive layer in the upper 5 feet of the soil profile (Table 1). Soils classified as sandy may have field capacity tensions around -0.10 bars, while clayey soil will have field capacity at a tension around -0.33 bars. For most agronomic crops, the root distribution in a deep, uniform soil is concentrated near the soil surface (Figure 9). This method requires practice and experience to become accurate at predicting irrigation water needs. The water held in the soil between saturation and field capacity is gravitational water. The shape of the slope is another important characteristic. The quality of water for irrigation purposes is determined by its total dissolved salt content. However, when they make up greater than 15 percent of the soil volume, the textural class is modified (for example, gravelly sand). If they are not compatible, the applied irrigation water could have an adverse effect on the chemical and physical properties of the soil. With access to the Internet, this method could be improved significantly by using the crop water use amounts from the NDAWN website. But in many of those years, other areas of the state experience reduced yields and/or reduced quality on nonirrigated crops due to water stress from insufficient soil moisture. Excess water (after a rainfall for example), can cause standing water (or saturated soil) which will choke our crops. Soil sampling the surface layer (top 6 inches) on a periodic basis (every three to five years) will track the change in accumulated salt or sodium. S4 - Very high sodium water: Generally is unsatisfactory for irrigation purposes except at low and perhaps medium salinity. Soil is the layer of the Earth's surface that has been changed by physical or biological processes. Plants such as grasses, which have a high root density per unit soil volume, may be able to absorb all available soil water. However, soil series with contrasting textures in the soil profile are assigned to more than one permeability class. In cases where sporadic irrigation is practiced ( a particular piece of land is irrigated one year out of three or more), lower-quality water may be used. The processes of root penetration, wetting and drying cycles, freezing and thawing, and animal activity, combined with inorganic and organic cementing agents, produce soil structure (Figure 3). If the depth to this layer is less than 3 feet, the rooting depth and available soil water for plants is decreased. Gravitational water. Water is pulled around soil particles and through small pore spaces in any direction by capillary forces. AE1360, “Irrigation Water Sample Analysis”, AE1637, “Compatibility of North Dakota Soils for Irrigation”, SF1087, “Managing Saline Soils in North Dakota”, AE92, “Planning to Irrigate ... A Checklist”, AE91, “Selecting a Sprinkler Irrigation System”, AE792, “Irrigation Scheduling by the Checkbook Method”. The removal of calcium and magnesium increases the sodium hazard to the soil due to the irrigation water. Bringing more land under cultivation is possible through irrigation. If a cubic foot of a typical silt loam topsoil were separated into its component parts, about 45 percent of the volume would be mineral matter (soil particles), organic residue would occupy about 5 percent of the volume and the rest would be pore space. Principles of irrigation and drainage: This is a two credit course for 300Level students of Bachelor of Science (B Sc.) 5 Wetland and Wet Soils. Figure 4. A site-specific Web-based application is available through the NDAWN website; look under the “Applications” menu. Wheel-move irrigation; 4 The Importance of Drainage. "Oven dry" moisture content is used to provide a reference for measuring the other three soil moisture contents. Each irrigator has had to learn to develop an irrigation scheduling method that works in his or her situation. An analysis of water for irrigation should include the cations (calcium, magnesium and sodium) and the anions (bicarbonate, carbonate, sulfate and chloride). Usually a soil with an SAR of 6 or lower from the saturated extract will not have physical problems associated with dispersed clay. Soil particles may be mineral or organic. Indicative figures are presented in FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper No. The water moves from a less negative soil moisture tension to a more negative tension in the atmosphere. x��V�n�@��?̑4,j`����A�+��ȁ�(J��MJ��ٙ].E�F��j����#�|�������-���oo��1`!c��H�H1� 1.0 INTRODUCTION TO IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE 1.1 Irrigation defined Irrigation is any process other than natural precipitation, which supplies water artificially to the soil to make up the deficiency of moisture under natural conditions for the profitable growth of crops, which otherwise would not be assured. Much of the water in North Dakota is classified in the C2 to C3 salinity range and the S1 to S2 sodium hazard range. North Dakota has 339 named soil series. refers to very fine and V.C. stream For Minnesota, the program can be used to schedule irrigation on corn, wheat, soybean, sunflower, potato, sugar beets and dry bean. <> Because it is a ratio, the SAR has no units. In fact, the concentration of boron that will injure the sensitive plants often is close to that required for normal growth of tolerant plants. Many years of research have produced equations that allow accurate calculated estimates of crop water use values for the major irrigated crops in North Dakota using measured daily weather variables. S1 - Low-sodium water: Can be used for irrigation on almost all soils with little danger of the development of harmful levels of exchangeable sodium. Reuse of Drainage Water of Fish Ponds in Soybean Cultivation under Sprinkler Irrigation System . Some leaching is required, but this occurs under normal irrigation practices except in soils of slow and very slow permeability. The water tension of the air is determined in large part by the relative humidity and always is greater than the water tension in the soil. Course Contents 1. The quantity and size of the pore spaces are determined by the soil's texture, bulk density and structure. Drainage in agriculture, the removal of excess water from the soil, either by a system of surface ditches, or by underground conduits if required by soil conditions and land contour. x�}T]o�0}���p�J1�6L� Simple slopes have a smooth appearance, with surfaces extending in one or perhaps two directions. Personal benefits to the farmer These benefits emphasize the importance of why Andy’s Drainage takes a whole-system approach to landscape drainage in University Park. Irrigators who follow this method record (usually on a calendar) rain and irrigation amounts and daily crop water use. The infiltration rate (sometimes called intake rate) of a soil is a measure of its ability to absorb an amount of rain or irrigation water during a given time period. This water may be used on coarse-textured soils with moderately rapid to very rapid permeability. Ideally, each irrigated field should have at least one and possibly two rain gauges (at least 2 inches in diameter) mounted on posts next to the field. 1- Abdel-Rahman, S. I. and Sadek, Sh. <> As water infiltrates into a soil, the pore spaces fill with water. The top foot would have about 2 inches, the second foot would have about 1 inch and the third foot would have about 0.75 inch for a total of 3.75 inches of available water for a crop with a 3-foot root depth. Under certain combinations of irrigation water quality and soils, salts and/or sodium may accumulate in the root zone and have an adverse effect on plant growth. Under some conditions, sodium can be controlled in the upper part of the soil through the use of soluble calcium amendments. Through the irrigation, it is possible to supply the required amount of hydrogen & oxygen, which is important for the proper development of plant root. Thus, during the course of a growing season, plants generally extract more water from the upper part of their root zone than from the lower part. Calcium soil amendments can be helpful in situations where land with a majority of unaffected irrigable soils contains pockets (inclusions) of sodium-affected soils. C1 - Low-salinity water: Can be used for irrigation with most crops on most soils with little likelihood that soil salinity will develop. Irrigation and drainage - Irrigation and drainage - Evaporation and seepage control: Various techniques have been tried to reduce losses of irrigation water. These levels commonly are referred to as 1) saturation, 2) field capacity, 3) wilting point and 4) oven dry. <>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 720 540] /Contents 13 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 1>> This is the soil depth from which the plants take nearly 80 percent of their water needs, mostly from the upper part where the root system is denser.
