  2. Waterlogging (agriculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterlogging_(agriculture)

    Roots can survive waterlogging by forming aerenchyma, inducing anaerobic metabolism, and changing root system architecture. [14] In irrigated agricultural land, waterlogging is often accompanied by soil salinity as waterlogged soils prevent leaching of the salts imported by the irrigation water.

  3. Canal lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_lining

    Canal linings are also used to prevent weed growth, which can spread throughout an irrigation system and reduce water flow. Lining a canal can also prevent waterlogging around low-lying areas of the canal. [1] By making a canal less permeable, the water velocity increases resulting in a greater overall discharge.

  4. Drainage - Wikipedia

    The water pressure can also erode soil particles, leading to voids behind the wall and sinkholes in the above soil. Traditional retaining wall drainage systems can include French drains, drain pipes or weep holes. To prevent soil erosion, geotextile filter fabrics are installed with the drainage system.

  5. Drainage system (agriculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_system_(agriculture)

    In literature, not much information can be found on the relations between the various regular surface field drainage systems, the reduction in the degree of waterlogging, and the agricultural or environmental effects. It is therefore difficult to develop sound agricultural criteria for the regular surface field drainage systems.

  6. Drain cleaner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain_cleaner

    A drain cleaner, also known as drain opener, refers to a person, device, or product used to unblock sewer pipes or clear clogged wastewater drains.This term typically applies to chemical, enzymatic, or mechanical tools such as commercial chemical cleaners, plumber’s snakes, drain augers, bio-enzyme solutions, or toilet plungers.

  7. Environmental impact of irrigation - Wikipedia

    Waterlogging; Soil salination; Ecological damage; Socioeconomic impacts; The indirect effects of waterlogging and soil salination occur directly on the land being irrigated. The ecological and socioeconomic consequences take longer to happen but can be more far-reaching. Some irrigation schemes use water wells for irrigation. As a result, the ...

    The U.S. Surgeon General's warning of an increased risk of cancer from drinking alcohol may end up resonating most with younger Americans - who in recent years were already turning to mocktails ...

  9. Surface irrigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_irrigation

    The process of surface irrigation can be described using four phases. As water is applied to the top end of the field it will flow or advance over the field length. The advance phase refers to that length of time as water is applied to the top end of the field and flows or advances over the field length.
