Geostatistical Survey and Amelioration of an Inland Salt Affected Area in the Lake of Texcoco, Mexico
1999
The area formerly occupied by the Texcoco Lake, near Mexico City, was subjected to drainage since the past century, to prevent flooding of the city; however, the progressive desiccation and the geological origin of the area gave place to the appearance of strongly salt and sodium affected soils. Lacking vegetation, these soils are very susceptible to wind erosion, and has been attempted to provide the area with a plant cover, using mostly native species. However, there are extensive areas where the levels of salts and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) are so high that the introduction of plants has not been successful; in these places, some kind of amelioration is needed, but since a gen…
Geostatistic study of salt distribution in “laguna de Salinas”. Alicante. Spain
1999
The distribution of different types of salts and the dynamic processes leading to their distribution in a playa saltlake of 3x2 Km wide, were drawn using statistics and geostatistics of the data obtained by augering the soil at different depths, following a regular square grid sampling scheme. The lake is now colonised by Halophytes which density corresponds inversely with the salinity gradient, although the main surface of the lake remains bare.
Using LEACHM model for evaluation and optimization of the use low quality water in citrus
2018
Para evaluar el riesgo de salinizacion en suelos con cultivo de cítricos se utilizó el modelo LEACHM que fue calibrado y validado en 7 perfiles de la cuenca sedimentaria de Torreblanca (Castellón, España). Se aplicó un análisis de escenarios mediante la combinación de: cultivos, clima, suelos, tipo de riego y calidad de las aguas y se analizaron estrategias alternativas mediante la utilización de mezclas de aguas. Los índices estadísticos mostraron un buen ajuste del modelo en la zona radicular entre 200-600 mm y una sobreestimación de la humedad en los horizontes inferiores. En cuanto al riesgo de salinización los resultados confirmaron el uso inapropiado de las aguas con CE>3 dS/m. Se …
