Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of subsurface drainage spacing on soil salinity and groundwater level. The results showed that subsurface drainage reduced soil salinity and effectively controlled the groundwater table. Decreasing the drain spacing further enhanced these effects.

Summary: Sufficient freshwater is crucial for various sectors, but countries like the Netherlands face challenges from climate change and urbanization. The shift in water management strategy includes conventional drainage, controlled drainage, climate adaptive drainage, and subirrigation systems. Subirrigation can benefit crop growth, but it requires efficient use of external water sources.

Summary: Water scarcity and soil salinization are major problems in arid irrigation districts with shallow groundwater table. A water and salt balance model was developed to study these issues, and it was successfully applied to the Hetao Irrigation District in China. The model revealed that evapotranspiration is the dominant water consumption component, and drainage through ditches plays a crucial role in salt balance. The study suggests the need for appropriate measures, such as decreasing irrigation water diversion and improving the drainage system, to address these problems and improve the sustainability of the irrigation district.

Summary: Non-growing season irrigation and farmland subsurface drainage are crucial for salt leaching and salinization control in arid irrigation areas. This study found that the combination of autumn irrigation and subsurface drainage significantly reduced soil salt content. The findings provide important insights for optimizing irrigation practices and managing soil salinization in arid regions.

Summary: Field experiment combined with numerical simulation was used to evaluate the effects of saline water irrigation on soil water-salt movement, crop growth and water productivity. The appropriate irrigation water salinity was found to be 4.0-4.4 dS m(-1) under subsurface drain depth of 80 cm.

Summary: An orthogonal experimental design was used to conduct soil column experiments to explore the improvement effect of subsurface drainage and brackish water on saline alkali soil. The results showed that the salinity of the brackish water only affected salt replacement. The salt replacement associated with subsurface drainage decreased with increasing water and salt replacement area at a constant irrigation volume, while it increased with the irrigation amount in constant water and salt replacement areas.

Summary: The study in the Hetao Irrigation District found that under water-saving irrigation measures, salt accumulated during the cropping season can be effectively leached by autumn irrigation, maintaining suitable soil conditions for plant growth. There is a strong correlation between water deficit during the cropping season and salt accumulation, and keeping water table depth above a critical level is the most economical way to alleviate salt accumulation.

Summary: This study developed a monthly distributed agrohydrological model (DAHMID) based on remote sensing and groundwater depth measurements for studying agro-hydrological processes in arid irrigation districts. The results showed that interior drainage plays an important role in the climate processes of arid irrigation districts, and evapotranspiration is the major water consumption. Irrigation has a significant impact on soil water and groundwater depth.

Summary: This study investigates the improvement of subsurface pipe layout and long-term soil salinization control in arid and semi-arid agricultural areas. Field experiments and numerical model calculations were conducted to understand water and salt migration during soil amendment. The results show a positive correlation between salt concentration in surface pipe drainage and soil salt content, as well as pipe depth and a negative correlation with irrigation water amount and crop spacing. The findings provide insights for the optimal layout of subsurface pipes to develop strategies for desalination and salt control.

Summary: The experiment conducted in unsaturated soil under drip irrigation aimed to study subsurface drainage and soil desalination, using artificial macropore flow tubes connected to subsurface drainage pipes. Different deployment treatments of the artificial MFT were tested, showing increased flow rates and overall desalination trend in treatments with MFT, with curved MFT treatments exhibiting lower desalination rates compared to straight MFT treatments.

Summary: The selection of drainage materials is crucial for the efficient operation of subsurface drainage systems. The results show that treatments using gravel envelopes have higher drainage water amount, with the most significant decrease after 1 year of operation. The interaction between synthetic envelopes and the perforation rate of drainage pipes significantly influences water and salt discharge.

Summary: The quality of drainage water in irrigation districts is crucial for understanding agricultural non-point source pollution. This study explores the spatial and temporal patterns of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) in agricultural drainage ditches in the arid region of China. The findings reveal the impact of factors such as urban sewage, agricultural drainage, soil salinization, and fertilizer application on water pollution in these ditches. The study suggests that there are critical annual and monthly drainage amounts that greatly reduce the probabilities of higher concentrations of COD, TP, TN, and NH4-N.

Summary: The purpose of performance assessment for subsurface drainage systems is to provide relevant feedback to system management to achieve effective system performance. This study monitored approximately 30% of the drainage systems in the Harran Plain for one irrigation season in 2017. Data showed that 82% of the monitored areas had good to moderate drainage based on the SEW30 indicator. The findings also raised suspicions of salty groundwater being pumped into the drainage system.
