| Sediment and associated nutrients flowing to the Snake River with furrow irrigation runoff and unused irrigation water have been a concern in the Twin Falls irrigation tract in southern Idaho. Converting furrow irrigated fields to sprinkler irrigation is one practice that has been promoted, and received financial assistance, to reduce sediment loss. Five small watersheds (330 to 1480 acres) with 10 to 70% sprinkler irrigation were monitored from 2005 to 2008 to determine if converting to sprinkler irrigation reduced sediment and nutrient losses from these watersheds. Eliminating runoff from furrow irrigated fields by converting to sprinkler irrigation will reduce sediment and nutrient losses from fields. However, there were no significant correlations... |

| There continues to be a need to predict furrow irrigation erosion to estimate on- and off-site impacts of irrigation management. The objective of this paper is to review the current state of furrow erosion prediction technology considering four models: SISL, WEPP, WinSRFR and APEX. SISL is an empirical model for predicting annual soil loss from furrow irrigated fields. SISL could potentially be a useful model if a new method was developed to calculate base soil loss for areas other than southern Idaho where it was developed. The WEPP model uses physically-based equations to predict erosion in irrigation furrows, which are assumed to be the same as rills. Primary difficulties with the WEPP model are defining erodibility parameters for furrow irrigation and... |
