Irrigation Impact on Groundwater: Model Study in Humid Region
Publication: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Volume 115, Issue 5
Abstract
The Groundwater Loading Effects of Agricultural Management Systems (GLEAMS) model was applied to estimate the effects of: (1) Soil; (2) planting date; (3) irrigation level; and (4) pesticide characteristic on pesticide leaching below the root zone of representative coarse‐grained soils. Climate/application/pesticide‐characteristic interactions are shown to significantly affect pesticide losses, whereas irrigation practice has little effect. Persistent and mobile compounds exhibit the highest losses.
