Mountaintop mining, crop irrigation can damage water biodiversity
2016-02-26 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Aquatic life can suffer when high concentrations of dissolved salts enter freshwater ecosystems, a process known as salinization. An international, multi-institutional team of researchers that includes a Virginia Tech graduate student recommends ways that humans can protect freshwater from salts in an article Friday (Feb. 26) in the journal Science. The recommendations include the use of less water for agricultural practices, less salt for road de-icing, less discharge or sequestering salts...

Delta farmers reach voluntary metering goal for irrigation wells
2015-12-19 03:16:17| Waste Management - Topix.net
The latest installations brought to 1,820 the number of wells that have been equipped with flow meters to help members of the Delta Sustainable Water Resource Task Force determine how best to manage the alluvial aquifer that supplies most of the irrigation water used by Delta farmers. The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality said farmers have installed flow meters on the 10 percent of the permitted irrigation wells needed in each of the 19 Delta counties to meet a goal set to avoid mandatory monitoring of the wells.
Remote Irrigation Controller enables creation of no spray areas.

Irrigate-IQ™ optimal flow lets growers with standard irrigation pump equipment (without variable frequency drive pump) incorporate no spray areas within their irrigation plan to concentrate irrigation efforts in highest-producing field portions. Standard pump equipment is utilized to keep water pressure regulated across entire pivot, even when operating in no spray areas, and system allows pivot to operate within defined pressure range even as water table reduces throughout growing season.
