The computer simulation hydrologic model, DRAINMOD and modified DRAINMOD (Luo et al., 2000) for cold condition, was used to predict the performance of surface drainage and yield of canola as post-rice cultivation during the wet growing season of [2004][2005] in Rasht, Iran.Performance of surface drainage system treatments with 2 m spacing and 15 cm drain depth as compared with plots having no drainage (4 Â 10 m 2 ), were used to evaluate the models. Evaluation of predicted daily groundwater table depths as compared with measured values shows that the root mean square error (RMSE) was about 10.2 and 9.9 cm for DRAINMOD versus 11.0 and 11.5 for modified DRAINMOD in 2 m drain spacing and no drainage treatment respectively. Original DRAINMOD and modified DRAINMOD predictions for groundwater table depth was on average about 4 and 7% less than measured values for the surface drainage treatment and 22 and 14% greater for the no drainage treatment, whereas the standard error of original DRAINMOD was 1.4 and 1.51 (cm), respectively. The average absolute deviations were 8.67 and 9.22 (cm). However, by using the modified DRAINMOD these values were decreased to 1.34, 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
