Abstract / Summary:
CSIRO Land and Water Technical Report 1/99
This report documents the development, testing and use of a water balance model (BASINMAN) for farms with subsurface pipe drainage and an onfarm evaporation basin. Previous studies of evaporation basins have tended to concentrate on the basin processes whilst ignoring the linkages to the drainage system and the farmed area.
The BASINMAN model was developed with the aim of increasing our understanding of the hydraulic relationships between the farmed area and basin system. From this we aimed to better optimise the design of on-farm basins to minimise the basin area whilst controlling waterlogging. The model is intended to assist with developing best management and design practices for on-farm evaporation basins and the subsurface drainage system.
