This review covers studies related to groundwater quality and has been arranged by contaminant type. For each contaminant the quantity, fate and transport, remediation measures, and models published over the past year are presented. FLOWA methodology for stochastic management of groundwater flow and quality was presented by Bakr et al (2003) using coupled flow and mass transport equations. Using a multi-objective formulation of the management problem and analysis of its results, it was possible to identify an appropriate remediation scheme. A mathematical model for solute transport, using a laplace transform power series, was used to describe solute transport in a convergent flow field with scale-dependent dispersion (Chen et al, 2003a). The model results showed good agreement with field data. Woods et al (2003) showed that numerical error in groundwater transport models could lead to quantitative and qualitative changes in behavior. The authors confirmed this finding by showing 2190 the Elder problem to be extremely sensitive to the simulation method used. Nonreactive transport at the boarder of various asymmetrical cavities was modeled by Selvadurai (2003). Analytical results were developed for time-and spacedependent distribution of contaminant concentration in porous media, which can also exhibit natural attenuation.A block-effective macrodispersion model was used to simulate transport in heterogeneous aquifers (Rubin et al, 2003). The closed-form analytical results were attained very quickly. Das and Nassehi (2003) modeled contaminant mobility in the subsurface domains with multiple free/porous interfaces. The authors attempted to remove the limitations of previous mathematical models by imposing multiple pervious boundaries. The effects local-scale heterogeneity and non-linear, kinetically limited sorption phenomena on contaminant transport in porous media was discussed by Johnson et al (2003a). The results indicated that local-scale physical heterogeneity controlled the non-ideal transport behavior of trichloroethene and non-ideal sorption was of secondary importance. The flow behavior of liquid carbon tetrachloride in unsaturated heterogeneous porous media was studied by Oostrom et al (2003). The results indicate that nonspreading behavior of NAPLs should be implemented in simulators to account for the formation of residual saturations. A dependence of DNALP behavior on saturation history was demonstrated by Gerhard and Kueper (2003) using laboratory scale testing. Laboratory and numerical modeling investigations of flow and transport near a seepage face boundary was conducted by Simpson et al (2003a). The 2191 authors concluded that the use of the Dupuit approximations might introduce error into the analysis of localized solute transport near the seepage face.Anderson applied an approximation that replaced the leaky boundary with an equivalent layer that had a one-dimensional resistance to flow. The solution compared favorably with the commonly utilized Dupuit approximation.A model for unsaturated flow...

“…Surge irrigation involves applying a collection of short bursts of freshwater to an area. Surge irrigation may be superior to ongoing watering because it advances water more quickly, improves penetration homogeneity, uses less water overall, and is more effective [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] key components of successful irrigation farming is the administration of the appropriate ratio at the proper moment; however, this necessitates precise metering of fresh water even during on-times of the surges. The foundation for controlling and regulating water throughout surge watering is flow monitoring.…”

With surge irrigation, applying surges to an area is a cheap labor task. In industrialized nations, a variety of electronic valves for discontinuous water application (surges) are available; but their pricing prevents their usage in emerging regions. Additionally, these valves are too advanced for use by growers in underdeveloped nations. As a result, a basic Automatic Surge Gate was developed and tested in the labs to assess its effectiveness in terms of producing onoff surges. The reservoir was built to hold or collect low inflows for barrier functioning, and the gate was positioned on the suction side of the reservoir. Inflow rates, pinions, and poundage placements on the gate lever were the working parameters defined for the gate functioning. In the current investigation, three inflow rates 134, 169, and 187 l/s were employed. By leveraging the low inflows to the reservoir, the automatic surge gate demonstrated the possibility for automating the on-off action. The surge gate produced sizeable outflows even at the lowest inflow rate of 134 l/s into the reservoir. Power-law equations were discovered to be a good representation of the behavior in the statistical models that were also created using quasi statistical method.

A field experiment was conducted in a farm(5km northwest of Ramady City) during Autumn Season in a silty clay loam sedimentary soil. The ground water table depth is 120 cm. Field has divided into 10 strips(2.40x80)m with spaces 1m between strips and 2 m between replicates each strips has divided into 3 furrows (20 cm in depth, 80 m length,with 0.2% slop) with each others.Study factors included Contineous Irrigation (conventional), Dual Contineous irrigation, Contineous irrigation with two phases, Surge irrigation, Dual Surge irrigation Cycle ratio was 0.25 with time On-time 4 minutes and off-time 12 minutes for both dual surge irrigation and surge irrigation with discharge of 2 litter/sec. for both advance phase while the discharge after completing advance phase was 0.8 litter/sec. The plots were planted with corn(Zea mays L)and irrigated drainage water with salinity 5.8-6.2 ds/m, and Euphrates water (1.1-1.3 ds/m). Consumptive water use was calculated by Evaporation Pan method. Twenty test has been carried out for advance and recession of flow along furrow by using eight observation stations. Apportinity time and absorbed water depth in each middle furrow was calculated at each station. Practical and Theoretical relative yield of corn were calculated.Results showed that Dual Surge Irrigation system reduced of salty water used to complete advance phase with rate of 12.41% comparing with Dual Contineous irrigation system, The efficiency of Salt- water displacement proceeses downward increased by 11.56%. by the effect of fresh water under Dual surge irrigation system compared with Dual Contineous Irrigation system, The percentage fresh water saving reached to 44.94% and 51.30% in dual surge and dual Contineous irrigation system respectively, Insert Surge Irrigation technique on Dual Contineous Irrigation system leads to reduce salt- water advance phase time, late in recession time in Dual surge Irrigation and Surge Irrigation with the other treatments during advance and post- advance phase, distribution of Dual surge Irrigation system as compared with dual Contineous irrigation system in salt- water distribution efficiency during advance phase and uniformity of total absorption depth along the furrow for all testing months during the season, theoretical relative yield (RY%) has decreased gradually with increasing in depended depth for calculating the average soil salinity (ECe) with assumption of no mixing between fresh and saline water, practical relative yield exceeds the theoretical relative productivity when assuming the condition of mixing between fresh water and salt water, the practical relative yield has distinction on the theoretical yield at depth of 0-90-cm in Maas 1984 equation.
