A Model For Designing Surface Drainage Systems In Nearly Level Agricultural Lands, Rafael Maria Rojas
A Model For Designing Surface Drainage Systems In Nearly Level Agricultural Lands, Rafael Maria Rojas
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The increasing demand for reclamation of periodically waterlogged nearly level agricultural lands in humid tropical areas and the hazard of soil deterioration and soil moisture balance disturbances by current land forming methods suggests the need for investigations of new surface drainage design procedures. This report presents a rainfall-runoff model for simulating hydrographs from ungaged agricultural plots. The model is based on routing procedures and utilizes common soil and hydrologic data. Tests made with several small agricultural water-sheds indicate that the model could be a useful tool in simulating surface drainage design.
Input data for the model consists of (a) rainfall …
