Gis Utilization For Analysis Of District Drainage Water Recycling, Charles M. Burt, Robert E. Walker
Gis Utilization For Analysis Of District Drainage Water Recycling, Charles M. Burt, Robert E. Walker
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
An ARC-INFO GIS system was used to identify physical drainage facilities in a 32,000 ha area of the San Joaquin Valley of California. Once the drainage facilities and linkages were established, it was possible to characterize the strategies used by various irrigation districts to control drainage outflows to the San Joaquin River. The motivation behind the study was the reduction of salt and selenium flows, via agricultural drainage, into the River.
Cal Poly Model Canal, John B. Parrish, Iii, Charles M. Burt
Cal Poly Model Canal, John B. Parrish, Iii, Charles M. Burt
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
The Cal Poly Model Canal, located at the Water Delivery Facility. Irrigation Training and Research Center, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Calif., was built to accommodate the study and promotion of automated downstream control. Being a large, fully functional scale model of a canal, it was used to collect data for use by the Irrigation Canal System Hydraulic Modeling Task Committee of the ASCE Irrigation and Drainage Division. The data was used by Task Committee members to help evaluate numerical models for simulation of unsteady free-surface flow. The Model Canal and the collected data are discussed. This paper …
Irrigation-Canal - Simulation Model Usage, Charles M. Burt, Gregory Gartrell
Irrigation-Canal - Simulation Model Usage, Charles M. Burt, Gregory Gartrell
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
Unsteady canal-simulation model usage requires serious investments of time and personnel. The reasons for deciding to invest in a model, as well as reasons not to invest, are discussed. For most cases, it is better to invest in the improvement of an existing model than the writing of a new model. Many excellent models are available, although very few can be considered user-friendly for the average design engineer. Unsteady flow-simulation models are not recommended for real-time control, but are key tools for the study of various control scenarios. Canal models can simulate an actual canal, but the user must input …
