This book documents the history of irrigated agriculture and
drainage in the San Joaquin Valley, and describes the hydrology and
biogeochemical processes of salts and selenium, remediation
technologies for salts and trace elements and policy and management
options. The contents are comprised of fourteen chapter-length
independent treatises, each depicting with fresh perspective a
distinctive salinity drainage topic. The opening chapters detail
the evolution of irrigated agriculture, and depict the geochemical
and hydrological processes that define the San Joaquin Valley,
including the physics, chemistry, and biology attributes that
impact water management policies and strategies. Next, the
contributors address the biogeochemistry of selenium, the role of
plants in absorbing it from soils, and the processes involved in
retaining and concentrating dissolved salts in drainage water.
Further chapters describe on-farm and plot-level irrigation
provisions to reduce agricultural drainage outputs and examine
their effects on plant performance. This volume offers realistic
policy analysis of water management options for irrigated
agriculture in the Valley and assesses their respective outcomes,
if implemented. Also included is an international perspective on
the sustainability of irrigated agriculture there.
