Preface

A scientist faces a formidable task on keeping track of the ever-increasingamount of literature. For this reason, ILRI's annual International Courseon Land Drainage includes a visit to the Staring Building Library for a two-hour lecture on how literature is catalogued, how it is stored, and how itcan be retrieved. To further help the Course participants, Drainage: An An-notated Guide to Books and Journals was compiled. The Guide is a selectivebibliography of books dealing with drainage in French, English, and Germanissued since 1970. The books are listed by year of publication, beginning withthe most recent. Nearly every book listing is accompanied by an abstractor a description of its contents. Some theses are included, although withoutannotation as their titles are a fairly complete description of their contents.A special section on reclamation of saline soils using drainage can be foundat the end.Since the Guide is necessarily somewhat limited, no individual books or jour-nal articles published before 1970 are listed. To compensate for this omission,however, several bibliographies which do comprise these years are included.Literature published after 1970 is available by on-line retrieval, a systemwhich allows direct access to a host computer's data bases by means of atelephone link-up with a user terminal in the Staring Building Library.For those who wish to continue exploring the field of land drainage, the fol-lowing sources can serve as a point of departure for obtaining more informa-tion:• Other bibliographies (there are even bibliographies of bibliographies);• Directories;• Abstract journals;• Scholarlyjournals.

Drainage materials were subjected to nu-merous laboratory tests, but the resultswere difficult to compare. To overcomethe problem, a tank was designed to testdrainage pipes and materials under uni-form flow conditions. The laboratorymodel and test procedures are describedin detail. In addition, methods of mea-suring entrance resistance, predicting soilinflow into the pipe, and determining theeffects on the watertable are given.

Israël Insti-tute of Technology; no. 320.) - (Annualreport. Water management model fordrainage of irrigated lands in semi-aridzones: no. 1. pt. 2).FIBOWA 24/237

A simple water balance model for sub-surface drainage of fine textured soilswas developed, based on an earlier modelof S.T. Chieng and R.S. Broughton. Themodel deals with various horizontal andvertical fluxes i.e. precipirations, ET,drainage-tile flow, runoff, and deep seep-age. It also takes into account soil pro-perties and erop requirements. The meth-od of 'successive steady states' was usedin predicting the dynamic response of thewatertable due to transient incomingfluxes. In the method of successive steadystates, a time interval of one day was as-sumed in order to use steady state spa-cing equations. At the end of each day,a water balance was calculated and a newwatertable position was determined.

Water management model for-drainage of irrigated lands in semi-aridzones; no. 1. pt. 1).FIBOWA 24/244

The design rhethods of subsurface drain-age systems were studied by using spa-cing equations. Five non-steady statespacing equations (Glover-Dumm, vanSchilfgaarde, McWorter, Skaggs, andWesseling) were studied in detail. The va-lidity of these equations was tested forfine-textured soils. Two erop responsemodels were also studied in order to in-corporate erop needs into a subsurfacedrainage design. These models are theSEW 30 as proposed by Sieben, and theSDI concept as proposed by Hiler andClark. Both the watertable drawdownsand^the drain spacings were calculatedusirig the spacing equations. Two fieldsituations were considered: (i) a deep per-vious soil in an irrigated field, and (ii) afield of fine-textured soil in winter rain-fall seasons.

The process of drainage of soil water iscustomarily treated as a fully saturatedflow phenomenon. Recent collaborationbetween several scientists illustrates thatthe partially saturated zone can signifi-cantly influence the overall performanceof agricultural drains, particularly withrespect to maintenance of a desirableroot environment in shallow or very finetextured soils.The capillary properties of the pertinentsoils are described. The second sectiondetails the modelling of a capillary flowsystem and presents models already usedsuccessfully to predict both verticaldrainage of the soil profile and horizon-tal flow associated with a sloping water-table. The final section describes the re-sults of numerical analyses of both slop-ing aquifers and parallel drain systems.The capillary region is shown to haveconsiderable influence not only upon thepredicted watertable position, but alsoupon the relation between watertabledepth and depth to which soil must beadequately aerated to allow root devel-opment.
