Evaluating Pumping Plant Efficiency Using On-Farm Fuel Bills
by Danny H. Rogers Mahbub Alam
L885
Are irrigation costs are reasonable? Is irrigation is paying its way? Fuel bills have parts related to pumping plant performance and to crop and irrigation management.Revision Date: Jul 2006
Reading Pump And Engine Performance Curves
by Danny H. Rogers Mahbub Alam
L886
Pump curves show the pump’s ability to produce head and capacity, pump efficiency and brake horsepower. The engine performance curve shows proper loading of the engine for fuel economy.Revision Date: Jul 2006
Restoring a Flooded Well to Service
by G. Morgan Powell Danny H. Rogers Judith M. Willingham
MF2733
If flood water overtopped a well casing, polluted water and sediment likely entered the well and disinfection is essential. Equipment must be dried, cleaned, and checked.Published Date: Jun 2006
Managing Wastewater from Animal Wash Areas
by G. Morgan Powell Joseph P. Harner III
MF2725
Waste water from grooming animals can be absorbed by grass if the volume is small. Hard-surface pads draining to grass or wetland treatment cells are needed for large volumes.Published Date: May 2006
Glossary of Water Acronyms
MF2726
Definitions of abbreviations of terms associated with water and conservation organizations and laws.Published Date: May 2006
Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) with Livestock Wastewater
by Danny H. Rogers Freddie R. Lamm Todd P. Trooien
MF2727
SDI can be used to apply nutrient-rich, lower-quality livestock wastewater. Conserves fresh water resources. Contains nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.Published Date: May 2006
Silage Leachate: A Problem with Potential Benefits
MF2728
Silage leachate is an organic liquid that is the result of pressure in the silo or the presence of excess water. Leachate is 40 times stronger than dairy parlor wastewater.Published Date: May 2006
Effects of Conservation Practices on Water Quality: Sediment
by Kent A. McVay Daniel L. Devlin Jeffery Neel
MF2682
The quality of water downstream depends on management of non-point sources within the watershed. It is important for land managers to do their part to farm in a stable system.Published Date: Jul 2005
Terrace Maintenance
by G. Morgan Powell Kent A. McVay
C709
Information on how to maintain agricultural terraces with adequate capacity, ridge height and channel width to accomplish soil and water conservation. 8-page, 2-color.Revision Date: Jul 2004
Managing Kansas Grazinglands for Multiple Benefits
by Will Boyer Larry Huber Gary May
MF2086
Plant growth will provide vegetative cover that intercepts rain, impedes runoff, & ensures a root mass that binds soil, reduces leaching of nutrients, animal wastes, pesticides. 20 p.Revision Date: Jun 2004
Maintaining Grass Waterways
by Kent A. McVay G. Morgan Powell Ray E. Lamond
MF1064
Grass waterways and terraces are important components of a soil and water conservation program aimed at reducing erosion. Waterways often serve as an outlet for runoff from terraces.Revision Date: Apr 2004
Management Considerations for Operating a Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) System
by Freddie R. Lamm Danny H. Rogers Mahbub Alam
MF2590
SDI systems deliver water to the root zone of crops using polyethylene drip tubing permanently buried below the soil surface. There is no visual evidence of system performance.Published Date: Nov 2003
Subsurface Drip Irrigation Systems (SDI) Water Quality Assessment Guidelines
by Mahbub Alam Danny H. Rogers Freddie R. Lamm
MF2575
Prevention of clogging is key to SDI system longevity. Understand potential problems with a water source. Water quality tests include electrical conductivity, pH, etc.Published Date: Jul 2003
Shock Chlorination Treatment for Irrigation Wells
by Danny H. Rogers Freddie R. Lamm Mahbub Alam
MF2589
Shock chlorination (with high concentration of chlorine) of irrigation wells can prevent buildup of bacterial slimes that cause losses of well capacity, clogging problems for irrigation systems.Published Date: Jul 2003
Design Considerations for Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) Systems
by Mahbub Alam Danny H. Rogers Freddie R. Lamm
MF2578
Successful operation of a subsurface drip irrigation system begins with proper hydraulic design, which considers crop and soil characteristics, field size, shape, topography, and water supply.Published Date: Jul 2003
