Helweg, Otto J, and Labadie, John W, Accelerated salt transport method for managing ground water quality: .

Summary

This paper briefly reviews the problem of ground water degradation from irrigation and present approaches to controlling ground water quality. As an alternative to these approaches, a management scheme called the Accelerated Salt TRANsport (ASTRAN) method is proposed as being a feasible solution to the problem of salt build-up in irrigated areas. A management algorithm for implementing the ASTRAN method is described. Results from modeling studies indicate that the ASTRAN method is cost-effective and encourages conjunctive use of ground water and surface water. Published in Journal of the American Water Resources Association, volume 12, issue 4, on pages 681 - 694, in 1976.
