Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Contour ditch irrigation is also known as wild flooding. It consists of a series of ditches spaced 25 to 100 m apart. There is a slight slope along these ditches and usually, the downslope bank is lower so that the water, when checked, is not restrained from flowing into the field along the entire ditch. Sometimes, water release into the field is accomplished by making cuts through the down-slope bank or using siphons. Theoretically, in contour ditch irrigation the water moves down the slope as a uniform sheet. Successive ditches located down the slope pick up the surface runoff and redistribute it to lower portions of the field. 4, record 3, English, - contour%20ditch%20irrigation

Irrigation par submersion. Lorsque la pente naturelle est nulle ou presque, le ruissellement devient impossible. Un débit supérieur à la perméabilité du sol devient nécessaire pour conduire l'eau à l'extrémité des parcelles. L'eau s'accumule alors en une nappe épaisse qui s'infiltre peu à peu. Plusieurs variantes sont possibles : les bassins fermés par des levées [...] Les cuvettes reliées à des canaux [...] Enfin les rigoles d'infiltration que l'on remplit d'eau en vue d'une lente infiltration, sont un système d'arrosage que l'on peut rattacher à l'irrigation par «infiltration» ou «à la raie». 3, record 10, French, - irrigation%20par%20submersion

Willow Creek Lake is a flood control project designed to protect the city of Heppner, Oregon. In 1903, Heppner experienced one of the most devastating floods in the history of the United States. Two hundred forty-seven people perished in a flash flood. The project will prevent a recurrence of a similar disaster. Storage for irrigation is also part of the project. A lake for water conservation and irrigation is maintained at elevation 2063.

There are bound to be rainstorms whose water the soil cannot fully absorb-a point of major importance in arid and semi-arid areas, for this water can be collected and used to improve productivity locally. The following four water management methods and erosion control structures apply :. runoff harvesting(catching runoff for supplementary irrigation) ;. total absorption or infiltration;. runoff diversion(redirecting excess water) ;. runoff spreading(distribution of runoff energy).... Structures to dissipate runoff energy. When rainfall exceeds the soil' s absorption capacity, the sheet runoff can be controlled by spreading it across the whole slope rather than concentrating it in channels and outlets, where it can cause problems. Its energy can be dispersed by keeping the speed below 25 cm... Such dispersion across the slope is achieved partly by cropping techniques that keep the soil surface rough(clods, many grass stalks, effect of weeds and mulching, etc.) and partly by structures such as permeable microdams, which temporarily slow the flow, allow some sedimentation, spread the flood, reduce peak flows and improve absorption. 1, record 14, English, - runoff%20spreading

There are basically 3 types of irrigation methods : Surface irrigation-Gravity system. Sprinkler irrigation-Pressurized system. Drip irrigation-Pressurized system. Surface Irrigation. Surface/gravity irrigation is characterized by the movement of water across the surface of the irrigated field. A distinction is made between the 2 main surface methods : a) Flood irrigation. b) Furrow irrigation. Surface irrigation is not economical with water, cannot be used in slope areas, not suitable for some crops and requires much labour.

Aménager les ressources en eau consiste à entretenir et éventuellement élargir un parc d'ouvrages hydrauliques (barrages, digues, puits, stations d'épuration). Gérer des ressources en eau consiste à utiliser ces ouvrages selon un certain nombre de consignes d'exploitation ainsi qu'à répartir, selon certaines règles, les ressources entre les utilisateurs. Ces deux notions, différentes, sont souvent confondues sous le vocable de «gestion des ressources en eau» [...] Le type d'aménagement et le mode de gestion des ressources en eau dépendent du système de préférence adopté, c'est-à-dire au fond d'un choix politique. 3, record 16, French, - am%C3%A9nagement%20des%20ressources%20en%20eau
