In addition, because chemical solutions are often mixed with NAPLs, the detection of contaminant is more complicated.

Overuse of fertilizers is costly both economically and environmentally. We evaluated regional agricultural cultivation practices to determine optimal irrigation and fertilizer, timing and amounts, to maximize production while minimizing nutrient-driven eutrophication of local water bodies.<br \/>\nAgricultural fields are used not only by farmers, but also by wildlife. We studied the effects of the Tundra Swan on nutrient levels in rice paddies. Tundra Swans, from Far East Russia, overwinter in flooded paddy-fields from November to March. They roost in the paddy-fields at night and forage nearby in other agricultural fields during the day. We measured Tundra Swan manure-nutrient component of paddy-field soil and water nutrient concentrations to determine optimal farmer-applied fertilizer amendments required for rice production, without over-applying.<br \/>\nOur ultimate goal is to find a win-win-win relationship among the environment, humans (farmers), and wildlife with respect to water quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30ab\u30e9\u30e01\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067 --><\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/irrigation-and-drainage-f01.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30ab\u30e9\u30e02\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067 --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30ec\u30a4\u30a2\u30a6\u30c8\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067 --><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!-- \u898b\u51fa\u3057\u304c\u8907\u6570\u3042\u308b\u5834\u5408\u306f\n\n<hr\/>\n\n\u3067\u533a\u5207\u308a\u7dda\u3092\u5165\u308c\u307e\u3059\u3002 --><\/p>\n<h2>Study on irrigation management for stabilizing agricultural production<\/h2>\n<div class=\"columns\">\n<p><!-- \u8907\u6570\u306e\u30ab\u30e9\u30e0\u306e\u30ec\u30a4\u30a2\u30a6\u30c8\u3092\u4f7f\u7528\u3059\u308b\u5834\u5408\u306f\n\n\n<div class=\u201dcolumns\u201d>\n\n\uff5e\n\n\n<div>\n\n\u3067\u5168\u4f53\u3092\u56f2\u307f\u3001\u30ab\u30e9\u30e0\u3054\u3068\u306b\n\n\n<div>\uff5e<\/div>\n\n\n\u3067\u56f2\u307f\u307e\u3059\u3002\u30ab\u30e9\u30e0\u30ec\u30a4\u30a2\u30a6\u30c8\u3053\u3053\u304b\u3089 --><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u3000Water is critical for agriculture and irrigation practice is an important part of farm management. Irrigation water is often wasted or poorly applied (i.e., amount or timing) leading to lowered agricultural production from poor crop health or damage. It is important to evaluate water resource availability to effectively manage irrigation timing and amounts required for efficient crop production.<br \/>\nWe assessed watershed-level water availability upon a local irrigation scheme. Data were gathered through field observations and farmer questionnaires. Data were evaluated by computer modeling. At the watershed level, irrigation water allocation is spatially unbalanced among upstream, midstream, and downstream observations. We attempted to determine alternative management methods and\/or improve current methods for efficiently allocating irrigation water equally to the fields.<br \/>\nBy improving irrigation water use efficiency through better allocation management, there is an apparent increase in water availability. This will lead to an expanded cultivation area, higher production, and ultimately, better agricultural stability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30ab\u30e9\u30e01\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067 --><\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/irrigation-and-drainage-f02.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30ab\u30e9\u30e02\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067 --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u30ec\u30a4\u30a2\u30a6\u30c8\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067 --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Area : Irrigation and Drainage Prof. MOROIZUMI Toshitsugu &gt;&gt;&gt; website Study on evapotranspiration and soil water content for water r &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/research\/department-of-rural-environment-management\/irrigation-and-drainage\"> read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":112,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"research.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-681","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/681"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":765,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/681\/revisions\/765"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/kokusaisyakaizin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
