River basin hydrosalinity modeling
ABSTRACT Tanji, K.K., (1981). River basin hydrosalinity modeling. Agric. Water Manage., 1981. Hydrologic-salinity modeling at the river sub-basin and basin spatial scales in the Western U.S.A. are evaluated. In the past two decades, significant advances have been made in basin hydrosalinity modeling. These models are providing increased understanding of the complexity of water and salt flows in large-scale systems. Most models, however, have been developed for specific problems and do not lend themselves for application to a wide variety of salinity problems. Much more work is needed in the areas of field verification of models and increasing their utility for management and policy-making decisions.

Salination of soil by salts in the irrigation water
This paper is a partial report on the quality of irrigation water. It is principally concerned with the salts of irrigation water which form salines in the soil. A method has been suggested for calculating the potential salinity of water and listed as ‘effective salinity.’ New conversion factors have been listed for changing from milliequivalents to parts per million or pounds of salt per acre foot for the soluble salts of effective salinity. A new standard has been suggested for the total salts of irrigation water based on the effective salinity, followed by a discussion concerning the application of this standard to irrigated agriculture.
