The Agricultural Benefits of Salinity Control on the Red River of Texas and Oklahoma
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-12)
Salinity of the waters from the Red River and its major tributaries has virtually eliminated its use for irrigation of agricultural crops in Texas and Oklahoma. A chloride control project has been proposed whereby the ...
Improved Water and Nutrient Management Through HighFrequency Irrigation
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1981-03)
High frequency irrigation implies the uniform, frequent application of water to crops. The fequency may range from several irrigations per week to daily irrigation to even several irrigations per day in greenhouse and ...
Feasibility Study of the Effects of Water Quality on Soil Properties in the Red River Valley
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1981-08)
The suitability of water for irrigation depends upon many factors, of primary concern is the quantity and quality of salts present in the water Ayers and Wescot1. If total dissolved solids in the irrigation water are too ...
Economic Implications of New Crops, Row Damming and Land Clearing in the Texas Winter Garden
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1983-02)
The chief sources of groundwater for the Texas Winter Garden are the Carrizo (Dimmit, Zavala, Frio, and LaSalle Counties) and Edwards (Uvalde County) Aquifers. The major user of groundwater in the region is irrigation. ...
Pricing and Conservation of Irrigation Water in Texas and New Mexico
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1983-10)
Two possible policy alternatives for management of limited water supplies in arid portions of Texas and New Mexico were analyzed for economic feasibility. Detailed studies of the potential impact of a water accumulation ...
Plant Responses of Drip Irrigated Trees to Climate and Water Stress
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1982-08)
Past irrigation research has shown that peach (prunus persica) trees vary in their field response to water stress, and the degree of stress is a function of the plants' environment. Water deficits reduce plant growth and ...
Evaluation of Storage Reallocation and Related Strategies for Optimizing Reservoir System Operations
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1988-08)
Statement of the Problem
Rapid population and economic growth combined with depleting groundwater reserves are resulting in ever increasing demands on surface water resources in Texas, as well as elsewhere. The climate ...
Improving Surge Flow Irrigation Efficiency Based on Analysis of Infiltration and Hydrodynamic Effects
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1985-07)
This research investigated the movement of a surface flow profile over an infiltrating soil under conditions of surge flow, and theory related thereto, for use in preliminary design procedures for surge irrigation systems. ...
Furrow Diking Technology for Agricultural Water Conservation and its Impact on Crop Yields in Texas
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1988-07)
Furrow diking is a practical, efficient and low-cost technique to conserve water and increase crop yields. Improvements in diker design and the increased use of herbicides have resulted in the rapid spread of furrow diking ...
Simulation Results: Final Report, Presented to the Energy/Monitoring Services, Facilities and Site Services UTMDA Cancer Center
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1998-04)
