The effects of pre-afforestation open ditching on the sediment yield of an upland catchment in the Southern Pennines, England are described. Marked increases in the production of suspended sediment following ploughing caused major pollution of a local reservoir. Sediment supply prior to ditching was

The suspended sediment yields of two adjacent, paired, catchments on blanket peat in mid-Wales were compared before and after preafforestation drainage works. Catchment A was ploughed whilst an adjacent catchment (B) was left unploughed. After eight months Catchment B was also ploughed. The ploughin
Land drainage has contributed to sustainable agricultural development in rainfed and irrigated areas all over the world. However, soil salinity still limits crop production in many irrigated areas. Therefore, subsurface drainage is still needed to control soil salinity in irrigated agriculture. It i
## Abstract Many reservoirs around the world are being operated based on rule curves developed without considering the evacuation of deposited sediment. Current reservoir simulation and optimization models fall short of incorporating the concept of sustainability because the reservoir storage losse
## Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of subsurface drainage and a rice husk envelope in Behshahr, a coastal region in the northern part of Iran. The subsurface drainage system was monitored in the rainfall seasons of 2006 and 2007 (22 November to 19 March). Various param
