Under conditions of high pressure on water resources, it is essential to quantify the water balance. There are tools to perform the water balance, but unfortunately, they are expensive and hardly accessible in developing countries. The objective of this study was to quantify the water balance using a low-cost lysimeter (LCL). Rainfall was measured using rain gauge. Soil water content (and infiltration were measured in the LCL, which was out in the open. The site of study was a place in La Malinche volcano (Mexico). Evaporation was calculated using the water balance equation. In order to evaluate the LCL efficiency, measurements were registered for two years (2015-2016). The distribution of the rainfall data was assessed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (K-S). The Mann-Whitney test (M-W) was used to compare rainfall, and infiltration for the two years. HYDRUS-1D software was used to simulate soil water storage () in the LCL. The efficiency of HYDRUS-1D was evaluated with Nash-Sutcliffe test (N-S). The total annual rainfall was 992.1 mm for 2015 and 1025.1 mm for 2016. The K-S test showed that rainfall data had exponential distribution in both years. The M-W test evidenced that rainfall, and infiltration were not significantly different (p>0.05) for the two years. Rainwater infiltration was 6.4% for 2015 and 5.9% for 2016. Most of the rainfall was evaporated, reaching percentages around 94%. N-S test showed that there was a good simulation of the LCL by HYDRUS-1D software. The water balance indicated that currently, La Malinche recharge area is insufficient to compensate the water consumption of Puebla and Tlaxcala. The use of low cost lysimeter would be of great help in expanding basin-scale water balance studies.

Uygulanması fiziksel açıdan zor ve pahalı olmasının yanı sıra, değişen arazi yapısındaki heterojenliklerden kaynaklı olarak birçok lizimetre düzeneği gerektirmesi ve sonuçlarının yerel olması yöntemin kısıtlamaları olarak sunulmaktadır [3,4].

Evapotranspirasyon, hidrolojik çevrimde kritik bir rol oynar. Ancak havza ve tarla ölçeğinde miktarının tahmini zordur. Bilim insanları, bu konuyu incelemek amacıyla yaygın erişilebilir ölçülmüş değişkenlere dayanan tahminler sağlayan ampirik denklemler geliştirmişlerdir. Blaney-Criddle, Jensen-Haise, Makkink, Turc, Priestley-Taylor ve Hargreaves-Samani adlı altı ampirik yöntemin performansları, Konya Kapalı Havzası'ndaki beş istasyondan alınan günlük meteorolojik veriler kullanılarak FAO-56 Penman-Monteith yöntemi ile karşılaştırılmış ve tartışılmıştır. Turc, Hargreaves-Samani ve Priestley-Taylor yöntemlerinin FAO-56 Penman-Monteith'e alternatif olarak ön plana çıktığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca, sulama sezonu dikkate alındığında Turc, altı yöntemden en iyisi olmuştur. Sadece günlük sıcaklık verisine ihtiyaç duyan Hargreaves-Samani yönteminin bölge özelindeki performansının yadsınamayacak derecede başarılı olduğu vurgulanması gereken bir diğer noktadır.

“…Pollution of water resources by nitrate from agricultural sources is one of the main reasons for freshwater disqualification worldwide (Jin et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2005;Orban et al, 2010;Thorburn et al, 2003). In many cases, severe eutrophication of surface water bodies, including streams, lakes, and even coastal waters of seas and oceans has been attributed to the inflow of nitrate contaminated groundwater and stream water (Anderson et al, 2002). As such, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regards nitrate contamination in groundwater as an event requiring immediate action, while a Nitrates Directive was established by the European Community to prevent water pollution by nitrate (EPA US and Office of Water, 1994;European Community, 1991).…”

“…Values of C max for different crops were reported between 88 to 200 ppm nitrate (Kurtzman et al, 2013;Levy et al, 2017). Soil nitrate concentration is commonly estimated through measurement of soil porewater samples, which are obtained using a suction cup or soil sample extraction (Abdulkareem et al, 2015;Dahan et al, 2009;Evett and Parkin, 2005). The porewater sample or soil sample extract is then analyzed for nitrate by standard laboratory procedures, or with special kits for quick analysis in the field (Liebig et al, 1996).…”

Abstract. Lack of real-time information on nutrient availability in cultivated soils inherently leads to excess application of fertilizers in agriculture. As a result, nitrate, which is a soluble, stable, and mobile component of fertilizers, leaches below the root zone through the unsaturated zone and eventually pollutes the groundwater and other related water resources. Rising nitrate concentration in aquifers is recognized as a worldwide environmental problem that contributes to water scarcity. The development of technologies for continuous in situ measurement of nitrate concentration in soils is essential for optimizing fertilizer application and preventing water resource pollution by nitrate. Here we present a conceptual approach for a monitoring system that enables in situ and continuous measurement of nitrate concentration in soil. The monitoring system is based on absorbance spectroscopy techniques for direct determination of nitrate concentration in soil porewater without pretreatment, such as filtration, dilution, or reagent supplementation. A new analytical procedure was developed to improve measurement accuracy while eliminating the typical measurement interference caused by soil dissolved organic carbon. The analytical procedure was tested at four field sites over 2 years and proved to be an effective tool for nitrate analysis when directly applied on untreated soil solution samples. A soil nitrate-monitoring apparatus, combining specially designed optical flow cells with soil porewater-sampling units, enabled, for the first time, real-time continuous measurement of nitrate concentration in soils. Real-time, high-resolution measurement of nitrate concentration in the soil has revealed the complex variations in soil nitrate concentrations in response to fertigation pattern. Such data are crucial for optimizing fertilizer application and reducing pollution potential of groundwater.
