This is the compendium of SALINITY-L digests for May 1996.
It was prepared from the daily digest mailings. Some digests
may be missing, because occasional mailings are lost en route.

I have a couple of question for you all. Is there anybody working with Astragalus spp. or other spieses which retain salt and Phalaris spp. in higher salt areas? Bob Toma M.C.D.C.

Jim Thorup had SOIL DOC for a license plate several years ago. What are you doing these days? Last I heard you were farming in Belize. I spent 3 weeks in Honduras in '89 for Dole (Standard Fruit) on their water infiltration problems. 8,000 acres of contiguous bananas; that's a lot of bananas! I'm scaling back my practice; just "pickin' a few plumbs" now! Teaching the Certified Crop Adviser Prep. Course regularly. Love to hear what you've been up to! Carl <------------------------------>

It is packed up by size. When the list gets over 40,000 characters it puts all the messages together, ships it off to any subscribers, and puts it in the archive directory. You can see that we have several archives(over 70) so far by sending the following in the body of a message: index groundwater to: listserv@ias.champlain.edu (or index groundwater-digest. They are the same for archiving) Then by sending 'get groundwater v01.n001' (no quotes) to the listserv you will get the first archive. -------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe to GROUNDWATER-DIGEST send e-mail to: majordomo@ias.champlain.edu In the body of the message type: subscribe GROUNDWATER-DIGEST (no need for address or name in this command) ************************************************************* Our listserv program does not have a "SET" command, you must SUBSCRIBE to get the digest. ************************************************************* We hope to see you on our list. -------------------------------------------------------------- Kenneth E.

I am maintaining the Virtual Library Irrigation with the URL: http://www.wiz.uni-kassel.de/kww/irrig_i.html I have added two links from the VL and a few lines of information to your site under the topics of: o Irrigation and Salinity o Irrigation Organisations and Institutes Please check those links and entries for correctness. If you would like to see different links or information to be added please just let me know. >Let me know if you have any suggestions for its improvement. For us Europeans (I guess other countries as well) it sometime takes ages to load your home page (sometimes we even don't get those images at all due to a timeout). Maybe it would be good to reduce the graphical load on the first page. Best regards Thomas Stein ______________________________________________________________________________ Thomas-M.

Contents: Introduction ((Sarah Katherine Lord) .<.sl982577@lance.colostate.edu.>.) <---------------------------------------------------------------------->
Date: Fri, 17 May 96 15:14:34 -0600 From: (Sarah Katherine Lord) .<.sl982577@lance.colostate.edu.>. Subject: Introduction I'm new - so here is my introduction: Who am I? A 23 year old masters student at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. What part of the World am I from? I've lived in the US all my life so I am not as familiar with salinity issues in other countries (other that what I have learned in classes). Why am I interested in Salinity-L? I am doing my research in salinity problems on the South Platte River. I am basically quantifying the problem, but I would also like to trace the problem and then target future research and suggested management practices to reduce or deal with salinity levels. The main problem here is agriculture with increasing population growth nearer the headwaters (Denver - Front Range). I really just want to see what is going on elsewhere and maybe get some pointers and suggestions. What is my experience with salinity problems? No practical experience really, as I am still a student. My research is my main experience (and visits with farmers, etc.) Specific questions or topics? For future's sake, is it more important to protect the irrigated soils or the water body itself? Is there some sort of ag management practice that could find a middle ground in both? <------------------------------>

I am looking for a technical system (example: Reverse Osmosis equipment), to be used in irrigation field from an underground water source, and to reduce water salination from 4000 ppm to a maximum of 500 ppm, and produce about 400 cubic meter/hour of water suitable for irrigation. My problem is to find this system with a cost which do not exeed: 5000 US$. Can somebody help. Thanks.. Ali <------------------------------>

Thanks.. > Ali-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 You have pinpointed the problem; cost! You might have to consider a higher salinity that would be suited for those that have a higher salinity threshold. Do you have better quality water nearby that could be pumped and blended with your high EC water? Dr. Manual Epstein, Univ. of Calif., Davis (my alma mater) developed barley varieties that would grow with sea water! He is Emeritous now, but still likes to stay in contact with his colleagues and their challenges. Regards, Carl Spiva <------------------------------>
