Greater urban demand for finite water resources, increased frequency of drought resulting from erratic weather, and increased pressure to reduce drainage water volumes have intensified the need to reuse drainage water. A study was initiated in 1999 on a 32.4-ha saline-sodic field (Lethent clay loam series; fine, montmorillonitic, thermic, Typic Natrargid) located on the west side of California'...

Nowadays, applying soil amendments is one of the most important ways to cope with water shortages and improve soil physical properties. In this regard, a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of irrigation water and wheat straw biochar on physical and chemical properties of a sandy loam soil, after harvesting faba bean. The experiment was performed with 5 b...

One billion hectares of land worldwide is affected by several kinds salinity and associated problems. The soil quality (SQ) in salt-affected (SAS) impaired because the presence excess electrolytes, disproportionate Na Ca solution exchange phase, rhythmic changes hydrological cycle, decreasing organic matter, poor vegetative cover, low biological activity, crop residue return. Sodic saline–sodic...

synthetic envelopes have been found to be highly effective filters for numerous applications and are currently replacing gravel envelopes. the growth of petrochemical and textile industries in iran offers the possibility of manufacturing these products domestically. the objective of this study was to assess the mineral clogging potential of two non-woven synthetic envelopes (pre-wrapped loose m...
