Salt accumulation in irrigated loamy soil; Lower Euphrates Valley, Syria
In arid and semi-arid regions, soil salinity is a common problem threatening fertility of irrigated lands. The Lower Euphrates valley in Syria suffers from salt accumulation in soil because of the inappropriate climatic conditions, using the traditional methods in irrigation; flood irrigation. HYDRUS 1-D model was used to simulate water flow, salt transport and root water uptake processes in this area. Data from seventy soil profiles were acquired from the pedological reports obtained from the Ministry of Irrigation in Syria. Representative monthly evapotranspiration (ET0) values in Deir Ez-Zor were taken from the FAO CLIMWAT database. The seventy soil profiles were grouped in fourteen zones distributed over the study area. For each zone, the monthly recharge and its salt concentration was estimated. The model was run for 24-month duration. The results showed increasing in soil salinity and, consequently, increasing in salts load transmitted into groundwater. Accordingly, mitigation measures have been suggested.
