Soil hydrology in agriculture [PDF]
Water, 2019 Understanding the hydrological behavior of soils is essential for managing and protecting agricultural (and natural) ecosystems. Soil hydrological behavior not only mainly determines crop responses to water and nutrients provided by irrigation and ...

Modelling Hydrological Processes in Agricultural Areas with Complex Topography [PDF]
Agronomy, 2020 Agricultural intensification and soil mismanagement have been recognized among the main causes of soil erosion in Mediterranean climate areas such as the Arbia stream basin (Tuscany, Italy). This study aims at predicting soil loss from agricultural fields as it is essential for providing reliable information for prioritizing soil conservation measures.

Modeling of hydrological processes in arid agricultural regions [PDF]
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2015 Understanding of hydrological processes, including consideration of interactions between vegetation growth and water transfer in the root zone, underpins efficient use of water resources in arid-zone agriculture. Water transfers take place in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, and include groundwater dynamics, unsaturated zone flow, evaporation ...

Perspectives of Hydrologic Modeling in Agricultural Research
, 2021 For decades agricultural research was done in the field or laboratories, but with the rise of computer science, hydrologic modeling became another essential tool for environmental impact studies. Many types of models can be used, each with its strengths and weaknesses in terms of accuracy, speed, and amount of input data needed.

Assessing the demand for hydrological drought insurance in irrigated agriculture
Agricultural Water Management, 2022 Concerns about hydrological drought risk and irrigation water supply reliability have grown in recent years due to the increasing demand for water for irrigation and other uses, and the decline in water availability due to climate change. Hydrological drought insurance hedging against water supply gaps can be a key instrument for adapting irrigated ...

Hydrological processing of salinity and nitrate in the Salinas Valley agricultural watershed [PDF]
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2021 AbstractRegime shifts of major salinity constituents (Ca, Mg, Na, K, SO4, Cl, HCO3, and NO3) in the lower Salinas River, an agricultural ecosystem, can have major impacts on ecosystem services central to continued agricultural production in the region. Regime shifts are large, persistent, and often abrupt changes in the structure and dynamics of social-
