Potential Impacts of Desalination Concentrate on Salinity of Irrigation Water: A Case Study in the El Paso Valley
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-05)
Winter returnflow has not been fully utilized for crop irrigation in the El Paso Valley. There are, however, emerging interests in utilizing it for urban water supply through desalting. This study examined the potential ...
Salt Tolerance of Landscape Plants Common to the Southwest
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-05)
With sharply increasing costs of providing potable water, many communities in the Southwest are attempting to utilize non-potable saline water for irrigating large landscapes. This publication provides the information ...
Supplement to Diagnosis and Management of Salinity Problems in Irrigated Pecan Production: Salt Leaching
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2010-07)
In the publication prepared in 2006 with
the above title (TWRI. TR-287), we described
ways to diagnose salt problems which affect
irrigated production of pecans. We also discussed
the concepts of minimizing soil ...
Hydrology, Salinity, and Salinity Control Possibilities of the Middle Pecos River: A Reconnaissance Report
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-05)
The Middle Pecos River between Malaga, New Mexico, and Girvin, Texas, is known for high salinity. Streamflow salinity during the last decade (1991-2000), for example, averaged 3,500 and 6,150 mg L-1 at Malaga and at the ...
Reconnaissance Survey of Salt Sources and Loading into the Pecos River
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2006)
The Pecos River of southeastern New Mexico and west Texas is among the saltiest rivers
in North America with streamflow salinity regularly exceeding 7,000 mg L-1 at the New Mexico
and Texas border, and eventually exceeding ...
Influence of Tributaries on Salinity of Amistad International Reservoir
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2006-04)
Amistad International Reservoir is located at the Texas–Mexico border, and is fed by four
main tributaries: the middle Rio Grande (MRG), the Pecos, the Devil’s, and the Rio Conchos
from Mexico (Fig. 1). This reservoir ...
Effects of Salinity and Specific Ions on Seedling Emergence and Growth of Onions
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-08)
The concentrate from nanofiltration is usually enriched with divalent ions, such as Ca, Mg and SO4. Since divalent ions are less hazardous to soils and plants, it was hypothesized that the disposal of nanofiltration ...
Water Balance, Salt Loading, and Salinity Control Options of Red Bluff Reservoir, Texas
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2007-01)
Red Bluff is the main reservoir of the Pecos River in Texas, and its maximum storage capacity adjusted to sediment accumulation is estimated at 357 million m3 (289,600 acre-ft.).
Aside from the shortage of water entering ...
Guidelines for Developing Soil and Water Management Programs: Irrigated Pecans
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2002-03)
The book describes the performance of pecan trees; water testing; determining how water quality may affect tree growth; improving drainage; selecting an irrigation system, and water conditioning to manage nutrients. It ...
Flow, Salts, and Trace Elements in the Rio Grande: A Review
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1995)
There are increasing concerns that water quality of the Rio Grande (or Rio Bravo) may be deteriorating mainly due to the recent expansion of the maquilas program and associated population relocation into the Border area. ...
