Date: Mon, 2 Jun 1997 17:30:00 -0700 From: Said Amali (SaidAmali@KENNEDYJENKS.COM) Subject: salt leaching Sorry for cross posting. Dear members: I am trying to find models that will allow multi-year evaluation of salt leaching under irrigated agriculture. We are trying to locate models whose output allows quantification of vertical salt transport and loading to groundwater given a soil salinity profile, irrigation frequency and water depth, and relevant crop water use parameters. I have used CHEMFLO and VS2DT before and am familiar with SWMS_2D which is relatively similar to VS2DT. Both VS2DT and SWMS_2D include plant water uptake. Has anyone used these models to simulate multi-year salt transport to groundwater under irrigation? Do you suggest other models? Thanks.

However one important consideration, in my opinion, is whether they allow using good crop models for the crop you are interested in. The 2DSOIL and RZWQM models are designed to have various crop models attached to them. I am most familiar with 2DSOIL in this respect.

Below are the answers I have rec'd so far. CHEMFLO is obtained from USEPA (EPA/600/8-89/076, August 1989), VS2DT from USGS (Water Resources Investigations Report 83-4099 and 90-4025), SWMS_2D from US Salinity Lab, Riverside, CA (909-369-4846) Said. Original Question ------------------------------------------ Dear members: I am trying to find models that will allow multi-year evaluation of salt leaching under irrigated agriculture. We are trying to locate models whose output allows quantification of vertical salt transport and loading to groundwater given a soil salinity profile, irrigation frequency and water depth, and relevant crop water use parameters. I have used CHEMFLO and VS2DT before and am familiar with SWMS_2D which is relatively similar to VS2DT. Both VS2DT and SWMS_2D include plant water uptake. Has anyone used these models to simulate multi-year salt transport to groundwater under irrigation? Do you suggest other models? Thanks. Said Amali Soil Scientist Kennedy/Jenks Consultants saidamali@kennedyjenks.com Answers ------------------------------------------- Said Amali, There's a SWMS_3D model to simulate water and solute flow in 3 dimension. I haven't yet had a good look at it, but thought you might be interested. If you want the model, you can contact: wrussell@ussl.ars.usda.gov Everything's free with the program: source code, samples, documentation even postage - true spirit of the Internet! ------------------------------- Christopher Teh Dept. Soil Sci., UPM Said, I forwarded your message to Dr. Mike Shannon (U.S. Salinity Lab, Riverside, CA), Dr. Jim Rhoades (U.S. Salinity Lab), and Dr. Jim Ayars (USDA ARS, Fresno, CA).

Prosser, WA 99350 509-786-9242 (voice) 509-786-9277 (fax) Hi, Could you please let me know how I can get these models?

They both have models which can be used for multiyear analyses. Suarez's has the full inorganic chemistry (calcite, gypsum, and cation exchange equilibria). John's doesn't have inorganic chemistry which is a limitation when calculating salt loading to underground acquifers irrigated soils that are calcareous and gypsiferous (westside, San Joaquin Valley). Dear Said: I have a published model which could be used for the problem you describe. It is called Opus, and in simulates the soil rootzone profile and crop growth, water use, runoff, and chemical transport. To simulate salt loading to groundwater, you will be in the long term simply subtracting the plant ET and soil Evap from whatever concentration of salt is in the irrigation water. Opus does not explicitly include the specification of a chemical composition of irrigated water, but you could input the right amount of chemical at the same time as the specified irrigations, and the model would do the rest. You can use a randomly generated weather pattern (included in the model) if you are applying the model in the continental US, or the model will run on measured data, or on smoothed records of mean monthly values of temperature and radiation. For your application you should have pretty good values for the soil hydraulic properties. Opus runs under DOS, and the user manual and documentation manual are available from me if you are interested. Roger Roger E. Smith ARS-USDA AERC Foothills Campus Colorado State Univ. Fort Collins, CO 80523 USA roger@lily.aerc.colostate.edu 970-491-8263 FAX 970-491-8247 Dear Said There is LEACHM, a public domain 1-d water and solute (Pesitcides, salts, Nitrogen) transport model. If you do need a copy of the source code please let me know I can send it to you via email. Good luck Sincerely Ali Fares, Ph.D. Hydrologist/Soil Physist University of Florida. One of my former collegues at Oklahoma State Univ. used LEACHM to simulate salt leaching and revap under shallow water table conditions. I am not sure if he published his work somewhere, but he returned to Pakistan after finishing his PhD. He mentione that LEACHM did a pretty good job with multilayered salt leaching under irrigated conditions. But LEACHM is a 1-D model. My friend's name is Riasat Ali. His adviser was Dr. Elliott (relliot@neusun.agen.okstate.edu). Hope this is of some help to you. Ramanarayanan. I am not familiar with the models you are considering. However one important consideration, in my opinion, is whether they allow using good crop models for the crop you are interested in. The 2DSOIL and RZWQM models are designed to have various crop models attached to them. I am most familiar with 2DSOIL in this respect. Tom Hodges Dear Said: Opus has been tested by several others in the movement of both pesticides and the movement and cycling of nutrients. It has not been "tested" specifically as a salt transport model, but the transport is the same as for a non-degrading, non-absorbed chemical (pesticide). The documentation is available free while supplies last, to those who have an appropriate application for the model. Roger Roger E. Smith ARS-USDA AERC Foothills Campus Colorado State Univ. Fort Collins, CO 80523 USA roger@lily.aerc.colostate.edu 970-491-8263 FAX 970-491-8247 Two years ago, I used the SWMS_2D to simulate multi-layer acid mine leaching to groundwater. I know the CHEMFLO model but I'd not really used it. I think the SWMS_2D model is convenient for the work you to do. Good luck Charles S. dear Said, I am carrying out researches on hydro-geochemical processes (water flow, solute transport, geochemical processes) and I use models. You can contact the USDA (www.ussl.ars.usda.gov): they have develloped several models that can be of interest for you. For example UNSATCHEM (Simunek and Suarez, 1993). Dutch people have developped a water flow and solute transport code: SWAP. Contact the WAGENINGEN University. I hope that it can help you Reagards, Nicolas CONDOM Said Amali wrote: ) Does LEACHM do salt transport under irrigated agriculture? LEACHM can simulate sorbing and non sorbing solutes, it also can simulate pesticides (degradation, sorption, plant uptake ...) So obviously it can simulate salt. I suppose ) given correct specification of the boundary conditions, one can )simulate irrigations, but if the model is not structured to accept )irrigations events, it may take some effort to make sure about the )boundary conditions which may complicate efforts and take longer to do. )I know LEACHM has been around for a while, but has it been tested )under field conditions? The models (leachm or vs2dt or any other model) do not diffirenciate between rainfall and irrigation because both of them are water input into the simulated system. Thus, leachm and Vs2dt(I worked with it too and I modified it during my Ph.D. work to handel surface water body adjacent to a soil surface) can handel both water input from rain and irrigation you just have to input it into the input file correctly. ) ) The last I know is that it was under care of someone in the northeast ( ) I forget the name), University of Maryland, or Massachusets or ) someplace.
