Models like DRAINMOD and its forestry version, DRAINLOB, have been specifically developed as a field scale model for evaluating hydrologic effects of crops (trees), soil, and water management practices for lands with pattern drainage (i.e. with parallel ditches) on relatively flat, high water table soils. These models conduct a water balance between the ditches to predict water table depths, dr...

Models are widely used to assess hydrologic impacts of land-management, land-use change and climate change. Two hydrologic models with different spatial scales, MIKE SHE (spatially distributed, watershed-scale) and DRAINMOD (lumped, fieldscale), were compared in terms of their performance in predicting stream flow and water table depth in a first-order forested watershed in coastal South Caroli...

The objective of this research is to control the nitrate-nitrogen concentration in surface water to 11.3 mg l (EU standards) and determine the exact nitrogen amount that has to be applied to achieve this limitation and calculate the corresponding plant uptake. The method used in this study is a combination between DRAINMOD-N model and Environmental Management for Agriculture (EMA), applying the...

Drainage water recycling (DWR) is an emerging practice that has the potential to increase crop yield and improve quality. DWR involves capturing storing subsurface drainage surface runoff in ponds or reservoirs, using this for supplemental irrigation during dry periods of growing season. The main objective study was enhance DRAINMOD model simulate hydrology systems. expanded model; named DRAINM...

Only 5%–10% of irrigated lands in least developed countries (LDCs) are currently drained. Although drainage simulation models (DSMs) used to evaluate alternative designs, it is unclear which model suitable for LDCs' arid and semi-arid regions. This study evaluates selected DSMs (ADAPT, RZWQM2, DRAINMOD, EPIC, HYDRUS-1D, WaSim SWAP) critically assesses their applicability areas. Also, establish ...
