Reuse of Agriculture Drainage Water – Case Studies: Central Valley of California and the Nile Delta in Egypt
Agricultural drainage water (ADW) is mainly the excessive water that runs off the agricultural field at the low end of furrows, border strips, basins, and flooded areas during or after surface irrigation. It can be reclaimed and beneficially reused for the irrigation of fields at lower elevations without any treatments and pumping. In many cases, the runoff can be collected and stored in lined ponds (e.g., with a membrane liner) for later reuse. In contrast, the stored water should not be allowed for infiltration into groundwater aquifers when it has a high chemical content. In this chapter, we will (1) discuss the reuse of ADW in large agricultural regions in California, such as the Central Valley (2) summarize the different strategies for ADW reuse and its practices in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The conclusion of the chapter is presented and recommendations for the long-term usage of ADW. Also, the assessment of the long-term impact of using drainage water from the environmental aspect is summarized.
