覆膜侧渗沟灌入渗特性试验研究

通过试验研究覆膜侧渗沟灌的入渗特性,研究结果表明:覆膜灌水沟边坡系数及湿周对沟灌的入渗特性有明显影响。边坡系数越大,水平入渗速率大于垂向入渗速率越明显;不论水平向入渗距离还是垂向入渗距离均随着湿周的增大而增大,而沟中水深对覆膜侧渗沟灌入渗影响不显著。同时,在相同计划灌水定额条件下,覆膜侧渗沟灌入渗历时加长,入渗速率减小,入渗体形状由椭球体型基本上改成了低平抛物体形状。     

Estimating the furrow infiltration characteristic from a single advance point

Management and control of surface irrigation, in particular furrow irrigation, is limited by spatio-temporal soil infiltration variability as well as the high cost and time associated with collecting intensive field data for estimation of the infiltration characteristics. Recent work has proposed scaling the commonly used infiltration function by using a model infiltration curve and a single advance point for every other furrow in an irrigation event. Scaling factors were calculated for a series of furrows at two sites and at four points down the length of the field (0.25 L, 0.5 L, 0.75 L and L). Differences in the value of the scaling factor with distance were found to be a function of the shape of the advance curves. It is concluded that use of points early in the advance results in a substantial loss of accuracy and should be avoided. The scaling factor was also strongly correlated with the furrow-wetted perimeter suggesting that the scaling is an appropriate way of both predicting and accommodating the effect of the hydraulic variability.     

土壤入渗特性和田面糙率的变异性对沟灌性能的影响

以杨凌区粘壤土和砂壤土区域进行的大田沟灌试验为基础,在假定各灌水沟内部土壤入渗特性和糙率均一的条件下,重点分析各灌水沟之间土壤入渗参数和田面糙率的不同组合对沟灌水流运动过程和灌水质量的影响,结果表明土壤入渗特性的变异性对沟灌水流推进过程和灌水质量指标影响较大,在模拟时必须充分考虑;而田面糙率的变异性对沟灌水流推进过程和灌水质量指标影响较小,可采用田块糙率均值代替各灌水沟的糙率。经实例验证,水流推进过程相对误差为7.28%,灌水效率、灌水均匀度和储水效率模拟值与实测值误差分别为5.74%、6.18%和4.07%,结果表明其模拟效果较好。     

Effects of water infiltration and storage in cultivated soil on surface irrigation

Surface irrigation analysis and design require the knowledge of the variation of the cumulative infiltration water Z (L) (per unit area) into the soil as a function of the infiltration time t (T). The purpose of this study is to evaluate water infiltration and storage under surface irrigation in an alluvial clay soil cultivated with grape yield, and to determine if partially wetted furrow irrigation has more efficient water storage and infiltration than traditional border irrigation. The two irrigation components considered were wet (WT) and dry (DT) treatments, at which water applied when available soil water reached 65% and 50%, and the traditional border irrigation control. Empirical power form equations were obtained for measured advance and recession times along the furrow length during the irrigation stages of advance, storage, depletion and recession. The infiltration (cumulative depth, Z and rate, I) was functioned to opportunity time (t_o) in minute for WT and DT treatments as: Z_WT = 0.528 t_o^0.6, Z_DT = 1.2 t_o^0.501, I_WT = 19 t_o^−0.4, and I_DT = 36 t_o^−0.498. The irrigation efficiency and soil water distribution have been evaluated using linear distribution and relative schedule depth. Coefficient of variation (CV) was 5.2 and 9.5% for WT and DT under furrow irrigation system comparing with 7.8% in border, respectively. Water was deeply percolated as 11.88 and 19.2% for wet and dry furrow treatments, respectively, compared with 12.8% for control, with no deficit in the irrigated area. Partially wetted furrow irrigation had greater water-efficiency and grape yield than both dry furrow and traditional border irrigations, where application efficiency achieved as 88.1% for wet furrow irrigation that achieved high grape fruit yield (30.71 Mg/ha) and water use efficiency 11.9 kg/m³.

Simulation of furrow irrigation practices (SOFIP): a field-scale modelling of water management and crop yield for furrow irrigation

Because of the spatial and temporal variabilities of the advance infiltration process, furrow irrigation investigations should not be limited to a single furrow irrigation event when using a modelling approach. The paper deals with the development and application of simulation of furrow irrigation practices (SOFIP), a model used to analyse furrow irrigation practices that take into account spatial and temporal variabilities of the advance infiltration process. SOFIP can be used to compare alternative furrow irrigation management strategies and find options that mitigate local deep-percolation risks while ensuring a crop yield level that is acceptable to the farmer. The model is comprised of three distinct modelling elements. The first element is RAIEOPT, a hydraulic model that predicts the advance infiltration process. Infiltration prediction in RAIEOPT depends on a soil moisture deficit parameter. PILOTE, a crop model, which is designed to simulate soil water balance and predict yield values, updates the soil moisture parameter. This parameter is an input of a parameter generator (PG), the third model component, which in turn provides RAIEOPT with the data required to simulate irrigation at the scale of an N-furrow set. The study of sources of variability and their impact on irrigation advance, based on field observations, allowed us to build a robust PG. Model applications show that irrigation practices must account for inter-furrow advance variability when optimising furrow irrigation systems. The impact of advance variability on deep percolation and crop yield losses depends on both climatic conditions and irrigation practices.     

Real-time prediction of soil infiltration characteristics for the management of furrow irrigation

The spatial and temporal variations commonly found in the infiltration characteristic for surface-irrigated fields are a major physical constraint to achieve higher irrigation application efficiencies. Substantial work has been directed towards developing methods to estimate the infiltration characteristics of soil from irrigation advance data. However, none of the existing methods are entirely suitable for use in real-time control. The greatest limitation is that they are data intensive. A new method that uses a model infiltration curve (MIC) is proposed. In this method a scaling process is used to reduce the amount of data required to predict the infiltration characteristics for each furrow and each irrigation event for a whole field. Data from 44 furrow irrigation events from two different fields were used to evaluate the proposed method. Infiltration characteristics calculated using the proposed method were compared to values calculated from the full advance data using the INFILT computer model. The infiltration curves calculated by the proposed method were of similar shape to the INFILT curves and gave similar values for cumulative infiltration up to the irrigation advance time for each furrow. More importantly the statistical properties of the two sets of infiltration characteristics were similar. This suggests that they would return equivalent estimates of irrigation performance for the two fields and that the proposed method could be suitable for use in real-time control.     

Errors in predicting furrow irrigation performance using single measures of infiltration

Commercial performance evaluations of surface irrigation are commonly conducted using infiltration functions obtained at a single inflow rate. However, evaluations of alternative irrigation management (e.g. flow rate, cut-off strategy) and design (e.g. field length) options using simulation models often rely on this single measured infiltration function, raising concerns over the accuracy of the predicted performance improvements. Measured field data obtained from 12 combinations of inflow rate and slope over two irrigations were used to investigate the accuracy of simulated surface irrigation performance due to changes in the infiltration. Substantial errors in performance prediction were identified due to (a) infiltration differences at various inflow rates and slopes and (b) the method of specifying the irrigation cut-off. Where the irrigation cut-off at various inflow rates was specified as a fixed time identified from simulations using the infiltration measured at a single inflow rate, then the predicted application efficiency was generally well correlated with the application efficiency measured under field conditions at the various inflow rates. However, the predictions of distribution uniformity (DU) were poor. Conversely, specifying the irrigation cut-off as a function of water advance distance resulted in adequate predictions of DU but poor predictions of application efficiency. Adjusting the infiltration function for the change in wetted perimeter at different inflow rates improved the accuracy of the performance predictions and substantially reduced the error in performance prediction associated with the cut-off recommendation strategy.     

Infiltration parameters from optimisation on furrow irrigation advance data

Knowledge of the soil infiltration parameters is necessary for efficient furrow irrigation. A method is proposed for the determination of the parameters in the Kostiakov-Lewis infiltration equation from measurements of the furrow irrigation advance and inflow. The method employs a volume balance model using optimisation to minimise the error between the predicted and measured advance and differs from existing approaches in that only advance data and inflow rates are required. The average cross sectional area of the furrow and the final infiltration rate are treated as fitted parameters and need not be measured. A simple but effective optimisation algorithm is developed which allows for the solution of the four parameters without user input. The speed and simplicity of the optimisation may lead to application in real-time control of furrow irrigation. Received: 16 August 1995

采用常规沟灌和交替隔沟灌技术,研究了不同水分处理(水分控制下限为田间持水率的80%、70%、60%)夏玉米的棵间蒸发。结果表明:常规沟灌的灌后蒸发和全生育期棵间蒸发量均大于交替隔沟灌,灌水后短期内由于表层土壤含水率较高,土壤蒸发较大;在满足作物蒸腾耗水的基础上,交替隔沟灌减小了灌溉湿润面积而减小无效蒸发耗水;不同沟灌方式下土壤蒸发与表层土壤含水率呈明显的脉冲波动变化,而深层土壤含水率波动较弱;表层土壤含水率和叶面积指数对棵间蒸发影响明显,二者与相对土面蒸发强度均有良好的指数函数关系。水分下限控制合适,交替隔沟灌棵间蒸发与蒸腾耗水明显降低,是夏玉米适宜的灌水方式。     

Comparison and selection of furrow irrigation models

The capability of hydrodynamic, zero-inertia, kinematic-wave and volume-balance models to predict advance and recession phases in furrow irrigation were compared against two sets of field data, providing a wide range of soil conditions and field slopes. The input parameters required for each model were studied, and a simple sensitivity analysis was performed for field slope, furrow geometry, roughness coefficient, infiltration constants, time step, and discharge. The accuracy of the models' predictions depends on the precision of the measurements and the estimation of the input parameters. Excellent prediction of the advance and recession phases were obtained with hydrodynamic, zero-inertia and kinematic-wave models. Those models therefore are preferred in design and management in furrow irrigation.     

Development of an adaptive surface irrigation system

Cablegation is a simple system for automating surface irrigation in small- and medium-sized fields using a gated pipe. In this work, a Programmable Logic Control, PLC, was used to develop an adaptive cablegation system capable of establishing the infiltration equation in real time and then adjusting the irrigation times to the infiltration rate and field geometry. A controlling program was developed for the on-field determination of the infiltration equation, simulation of advance in each furrow, and the optimization and management of the irrigation event. The equipment was tested in three experimental stations, including a Luvissol field organized in contour terraces with furrows of various lengths. The results demonstrate the capability of the system to adapt the application times to the different furrow lengths and the gradual decrease in the soil infiltration and to recommend an application depth that optimizes the Application Efficiency. Various improvements were made to this solar-powered cablegation, resulting in a reliable surface irrigation system capable of unsupervised operation.     

沟灌条件下灌水沟入渗特性研究

为探明沟灌时灌水沟的水分入渗规律,从沟灌二维入渗过程、入渗湿润锋运移特性、累计入渗水量变化过程、土壤含水量分布等方面研究了沟灌的入渗特征及其影响,研究表明：灌水沟中水深、沟底宽、湿周对沟灌入渗过程均有明显影响。沟中水深增大,有利于加大侧向入渗,垂向入渗减少,而水深减小,会加大垂向入渗,增加深层渗漏。灌水沟底宽不影响灌水沟的侧向入渗,仅影响垂向入渗,底宽减小,垂向入渗深度相应减小,且土壤表面以下40 cm深以内水平向入渗深度平均值与最大垂向入渗深度的比值在沟底宽小时均大于沟底宽大时。合理的断面形式和大小有利于减小垂向入渗,加大水平侧向入渗,灌水沟断面形式为梯形断面时,宽深比近似为2效果最优。研究结果可为改进沟灌灌水技术提供参考。     

地面坡度对滴灌水分入渗过程的影响

通过土箱模拟滴灌实验,研究了不同地面坡度下滴灌水分运移规律。结果表明,地面各方向湿润半径、滴头下湿润深度和最大湿润深度均与时间呈显著的幂函数关系;随着地面坡度的增大,地面顺坡方向湿润锋推进加快,逆坡方向及滴头处横坡方向湿润锋推进减缓,横坡方向最大湿润宽度也随着坡度的增大而减小;在纵剖面上随着地面坡度的增大,滴头下入渗深度逐渐减小,而最大入渗深度则逐渐增加,最大入渗深度的位置也距滴头越远;地表和纵剖面湿润范围的变化表明,与水平地面相比,整个湿润体随着地面坡度的增大明显向下坡方向偏移,且坡度越大,偏移距离越大,湿润体形状由对称的半椭球形向下坡大而上坡小的梨形变化。     

滴灌水温对土壤入渗和土壤温度的影响

为了解水温对滴灌土壤入渗特征和土壤温度的影响,研制一套恒温试验装置,可使水温变化控制在±0.5 ℃范围内,选择5,20,35 ℃作为试验水温,进行不同水温室内滴灌入渗试验,分析各水温下土壤水分入渗和土壤温度变化特征.结果表明:在相同时段内,随滴灌水温升高,水平和垂直湿润锋运移距离增大,垂直湿润锋运移速率增大.分别建立水平、垂直湿润锋运移距离与入渗时间和滴灌水温的关系模型,决定系数R²均大于0.99.湿润土体平均含水量与入渗时间关系不大,但随入渗水温的升高而减小.土壤水分扩散率与水温成正比;水温升高,饱和导水率随之增大,二者呈指数函数关系;土壤吸持水分的能力随温度的升高而降低.不同灌溉水温改变了土体中的温度分布,随着距滴头距离的增加,由水温引起的土壤温度的变化量逐渐减小.结论可为指导大田和温室滴灌技术提供理论依据.     

The comparison of advance and erosion of meandering furrow irrigation with standard furrow irrigation under varying furrow inflow rates

Meandering furrow irrigation (Gholam-gardeshi irrigation) is a modified form of furrow irrigation, which has being used in Iran, but to date, there is no study about the erosion of this method of irrigation. To measure the erosion of meandering furrow irrigation and to compare the results with standard furrow irrigation, two experimental fields with different soil textures and furrow inflow rates were used. The experiment utilized a randomized factorial design with three replications for each treatment. In both methods, the developed second order polynomial equation for the erosion, and advance equation were able to predict the field data with coefficients of determination of more than 0.94. The results showed that the velocity of advance, tail water runoff and erosion are significantly lower for meandering furrow irrigation as compared to standard furrow irrigation. As the furrow inflow rates increased, erosion and runoff in both irrigation methods increased significantly.     

Modeling and error analysis of kinematic-wave equations of furrow irrigation

A moving control volume approach was used to model the advance phase of a furrow irrigation system whereas a fixed control volume was used to model the nearly stationary phase and the runoff rate. The resulting finite-difference equations of the kinematic-wave model were linearized and explicit algebraic expressions were obtained for computation of advance and runoff rate. The solutions for the advance increment and the runoff rate were compared with the nonlinear scheme, the zero-inertia model, and a set of field data. A close agreement was found between the models and the field data. Assuming a constant infiltration rate, a differential equation was derived to estimate the error between the kinematic-wave model and the zero-inertia model in predicting the flow cross-sectional area along the field length. The differential equation and two dimensionless terms were used to define the limits for use of the kinematic-wave model in furrow irrigation.

Evaluation of surface irrigation as a function of water infiltration in cultivated soils in the Nile Delta

As sources of irrigation water are decreasing, efficient use of surface irrigation is essential. The purpose of this study is to determine if partially-wetted furrow irrigation has more efficient water storage and infiltration than traditional border irrigation in an alluvial clay soil under cultivated grape production. The two irrigation components considered were wet (WT) and dry (DT) treatments, at which water was applied when available soil water reached 65 % and 50 %, and the traditional border irrigation control. Empirical power form equations were obtained for measured advance and recession times along the furrow length during the irrigation stages of advance, storage, depletion and recession. Coefficient of variation (CV) was 5.2 and 9.5 % for WT and DT under furrow irrigation system comparing with 7.8 % in border, respectively. Water was deeply percolated as 11.9 and 19.2 % for wet and dry furrow treatments respectively, compared with 12.8 % for control, with no deficit in the irrigated area. Partially-wetted furrow irrigation had greater water-efficiency and grape yield than dry furrow and traditional border irrigation, where application efficiency achieved as 88.1 % for wet furrow irrigation that achieved high grape fruit yield (30.71 Mg /ha). The infiltration (cumulative depth, Z and rate, I) was functioned to opportunity time (t ₀ ) in minute for WT and DT treatments as: Z _WT ?=?0.528?t ₀ ^0.6, Z _DT ?=?1.2?t ₀ ^0.501, I _WT ?=?19?t ₀ ^?0.4, I _DT ?=?36?t ₀ ^?0.498. Empirical power form equations were obtained for measured advance and recession times along the furrow length during the irrigation stages of advance, storage, depletion and recession. The irrigation parameters and coefficients, and soil water distribution have been also evaluated.     

棉花平膜灌溉的节水增产试验研究

膜上灌较传统沟畦灌有较大的优越性，但由于覆膜改善了水流条件，灌水流速增大，当灌水流量大时，对灌水量难以控制，易产生余水，灌溉均匀度不易掌握；灌水流量小时，灌水时间太长，会与传统配水方法不协调等。平膜灌水法就是针对上述问题提出的，它是把沿田面坡度方向设置的灌水沟改为沿等高线走向布置，使水流在水平沟内流动，沟与地面全部采用地膜覆盖，灌水时，沟内的水量通过沟底渗水孔渗入土壤，达到湿润土壤的目的。新疆农业大学水利与土木工程学院采用这种方法，在哈密、昌吉等地对小麦、棉花、玉米等作物进行了田间试验，证明该方法可有效解决膜上灌存在的问题。
