Water is the key factor limiting crop production in arid inland river basins of northwestern
China, where water scarcity challenges food security and the sustainability of eco …

The complex and dense irrigation and drainage networks and diverse irrigation scheduling
result in uncertainties and complexities in the simulation of drainage water and salinity at …

Irrigation return flow is critical for both surface and groundwater resources in downstream
catchments. However, studies sufficiently clarifying the dynamics of hydrological processes …

Estimation of groundwater recharge is more essential for managing aquifers, particularly in
arid regions with limited access to water resources. Low potentiality of aquifer recharge …

Intensification of agriculture in India has increased food self-sufficiency. However, it has also
led to unwanted environmental impacts, particularly the increased pressure on groundwater …

Water saving irrigation systems (eg drip and sprinkler) conserve water but they can reduce
potential groundwater recharge (PGR) over traditional systems (eg furrow) and may impair …

Spatially distributed process models represent soil-water-plant-nutrient interactions within a
watershed. We investigated spatial patterns of water balance components and nitrate …

The DRASTIC technique is commonly used to assess groundwater vulnerability. The main
disadvantage of the DRASTIC method is the difficulty associated with identifying appropriate …

Irrigation return flow is an important and hard-to-estimate component of the groundwater
balance equation. In this study, irrigation return flow from a Triticale farm under sprinkler and …

In the present study, simulation of groundwater resources of the Zanjan Plain aquifer located
in the western part of Iran was done using the GMS 7.1 software to evaluate groundwater …
