Modelling Recharge from Irrigation Developments with a Perched Water Table and Deep Unsaturated Zone
Modelling of recharge under irrigation zones for input to groundwater modelling is important for assessment and management of environmental risks. Deep vadose zones, when coupled with perched water tables, affect the timing and magnitude of recharge. Despite the temporal and spatial complexities of irrigation areas; recharge in response to new developments can be modelled semi-analytically, with most outputs comparing well with numerical models. For parameter ranges relevant to the western Murray Basin in southern Australia, perching can reduce the magnitude of recharge relative to irrigation accessions and will cause significant time lags for changes to move through vadose zone. Recharge in the vicinity of existing developments was found to be similar to that far from existing developments. This allows superposition to be implemented spatially for new developments, thus simplifying estimation of recharge. Simplification is further aided by the use of exponential approximants for recharge responses from individual developments.
