Conservation tillage has become an attractive form of agricultural management practices for corn and soybean production on heavy textured soil in southern Ontario because of the potential for improving soil quality. A controlled drainage system combined with conservation tillage practices has also been reported to improve water quality. In Southwestern Ontario, field scale on farm demonstration sites were established in a paired watershed (no-tillage vs. conventional tillage) on clay loam soil to study the effect of tillage system on soil structure and water quality. The sites included controlled drainage and free drainage systems to monitor their effect on nitrate loss in the tile drainage water. Soil structure, organic matter content and water storage in the soil profile were improved with no-tillage (NT) compared to conventional tillage (CT). No-tillage also increased earthworm populations. No-tillage was found to have higher tile drainage volume and nitrate loss which were attributed to an increase in soil macropores from earthworm activity. The controlled drainage system (CD) reduced nitrate loss in tile drainage water by 14% on CT site and 25.5% on NT site compared to the corresponding free drainage system (DR) from May, 1995 to April 30, 1997. No-tillage farming practices are definitely enhanced by using a controlled drainage system for preventing excessive nitrate leaching through tile drainage. Average soybean yields for CT site were about 12 to 14% greater than the NT site in 1995 and 1996. However, drainage systems had very little effect on soybean yields in 1995 and 1996 due to extremely dry growing seasons.

Abstract Increasing interest focuses on utilizing wetlands to reduce nutrient loading to surface waters. The current study examines soil P storage capacity in three treatment wetlands designed to decrease N loading from an agricultural tile drainage system in Illinois. Adjacent farm field and restored floodplain wetland soils were also evaluated. Results demonstrate that wetland soils sequestered P; however, the magnitude of P retention varied significantly across treatment systems and floodplain wetlands related to differences in soil properties. Soil P storage capacity increased in the direction of water flow, but varied across treatment wetlands; soils ranged from P sinks (5.8 ± 1.5 mg P kg−1) to potential P sources (−17.2 ± 2.0 mg P kg−1). Farm fields displayed the highest water soluble P levels (11.3 ± 1.5 mg P kg−1) and represented the largest potential source of P with a mean storage capacity of −48.6 ± 6.8 mg P kg−1. A phosphorus saturation ratio threshold value of 0.10 differentiated between potential P sources and sinks. Findings suggest wetlands receiving P loadings from tile drainage accumulate soil P over time, but maintaining P removal efficiency in treatment wetlands may require periodic management to decrease soil P concentrations via nutrient removal and/or soil amendments.

Ability to predict daily leachate volumes in greenhouse production enables strategic planning for the remediation of waste water. A case study greenhouse site (1620ft2) on Cornell campus was chosen because of the tile drainage system installed beneath. Roses `Sonya', `Royalty', and `Mary DeVor' were grown in 1170ft2 of bench and fertigated at bench level with automated spray nozzles. Data collection occurred over a 1.5 year period. Factors considered in modeling included: leaf area, irrigation and leachate volumes, and atmospheric / greenhouse environmental conditions (solar radiation, precipitation, temperature). Separate day and night models resulted, the night model included a condensation factor. Correlation existed between environmental factors, irrigation volume and leachate volume in the day model. In the night model a relationship between environmental factors and condensation was evident.

The sediment formation mechanisms of a newly constructed reservoir in Ehime, Japan were evaluated by characterizing the soil particles (SP) and particulate phosphorus (PP) in the runoff and reservoir sediments. The SP and PP loads from the runoffs of the main river in the watershed considerably increased, when the specific discharge rates were over 300 l/s/km2 (high flow conditions). When the specific discharge rates exceeded over 300 l/s/km2, 19% of the watershed generated over 80% of the SP and PP loads. When the specific discharge rates were under 300 l/s/km2 (low flow conditions), the contributions of the previously mentioned 19% area to the SP and PP loads were smaller. Significant amounts of smectite were found in the sediments in the reservoir and in the soil samples obtained at the forest exposed area in this 19% area while it was negligible in citrus orchards and paddy fields that constituted the remaining land surfaces. The forest area exposed by recent landslides was significant for the SP and PP in the reservoir. Judging from the outcomes, land use information alone may not be sufficient to detect critical sources of SP and PP in the runoffs and reservoirs. To identify and confirm crucial areas for the SP and PP in the runoffs, the investigations should be conducted under high flow conditions and the composition of clay minerals in the sediments should be checked against the clay mineral distributions of soils in the watershed.

Polythermal Glacier

Glacial and glaciohydrologic processes that control the glaciofluvial sediment delivery from Erikbreen, a polythermal glacier on the north coast of Spitsbergen (79°40'N, 12°30'E), were studied during the summer seasons of 1990,1991 and 1992. Erikbreen differs from most glaciers of similar size in Svalbard, by the high flow velocity and a heavily crevassed surface. Water tracing experiments were conducted to study the geometry and stability of subglacial conduits, and the influence of the drainage system on subglacial sediment withdrawal. The withdrawal of sediments was monitored in the proglacial stream. High concentrations of suspended sediments were found. The type of drainage system and the presence of unconsolidated sediments at the glacier bed exerts the main control on the glaciofluvial sediment delivery. Annual delivery of suspended sediments varies by a magnitude, runoff being the controlling variable.
