Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural pollutant removal by constructed wetlands: Implications for water management and design
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated seven constructed surface flow-through wetlands having contrasting design and water management for their effects on the fate of chemical (salts, nutrients, and dissolved organic carbon), physical (suspended solids), and biological contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of constructed wetlands for removal of bacterial contamination from agricultural return flows.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that runoff from irrigated crops can contribute a significant load of bacteria indicators and potentially pathogenic microorganisms to waterways, and that hydraulic residence time (HRT) appeared to be the factor having the greatest effect on the efficiency of bacteria indicator removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field performance of halophytic species under irrigation with saline drainage water in the San Joaquin Valley of California
TL;DR: In this paper, a field study was conducted in order to assess the performance of six halophytes species Salicornia bigelovii, Atriplex lentiformis, Distichlis spicata, Spartina gracilis, Allenrolfea occidentalis and Bassia hyssopifolia, under long-term irrigation (4-6 years) with saline (Na-sulfate dominated) agricultural DW.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of irrigating pickleweed (Salicornia bigelovii. Torr) with hyper-saline drainage water.
TL;DR: Data indicate that hyper-saline DW, characteristic of California's San Joaquin Valley, can be used to irrigate Salicornia and substantially reduce drainage volumes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of tall wheatgrass (Thinopyrum ponticum, cv. ‘Jose’) irrigated with saline-high boron drainage water: Implications on ruminant mineral nutrition
Francisco J. Díaz,S.R. Grattan +1 more
TL;DR: Tall wheatgrass (TWG) has been identified as a salt-tolerant forage that has acceptable nutritional value and shows considerable promise for reducing saline drainage volumes in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV), which may affect the production potential and mineral nutritional value of the forage.
