“…Łabędzki (2015) reported decreased interest in utilization of water facilities and the cessation of irrigation system maintaining and conservation, which has a negative impact on the wetlands in the Noteć River valley. Iran Abbasi et al (2015) noted that development of modern irrigation and drainage networks is one of effective strategies of preventing water losses and optimal usage of water resources in agricultural section.…”

Aim of the studyThis paper presents the role and importance of the gravity-fed irrigation system for increasing the soil water resources and surface retention in sandy alluvial soils. Material and methodsThe research was conducted on the Kopernia object (64.2 ha) within the Nida River Valley (Pińczów County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship) focused on the sub-irrigation systems formed in the second half of the 20th century. In order to identify the changes in soil water retention at the object, certain characteristics of soil profile were measured, such as gravitational water and volumetric water content in alluvial soil at different depths of groundwater table position. For determining surface retention the archival materials (technical project) as well as field tests e.g. ditch inventorisation, soil samples collection, were used. Additionally, in laboratory, the selected physical and water properties of alluvial soils were determined. Results and conclusionsOn the basis of both the inventorisation of ditches and hydrotechnical constructions as well as field and laboratory tests, it was shown that during the proper operation of the irrigation system, water can be stored in the soil profile in the amount from 42 115.2 m 3 to 62 916 m 3 , with 10 821 m 3 of water in the ditches as a result of surface retention. Some of irrigation systems could be used to expand wetlands, also to increase small water retention. However, such changes would require large financial contributions and time to carry out these adjustments to current water policy and climate change.

Sustainable water resources management involves social, economic, environmental, water use, and resources factors. This study proposes a new framework of strategic planning with multi-criteria decision-making to develop sustainable water management alternatives for large scale water resources systems. A fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making model is developed to rank regional management alternatives for agricultural water management considering water-resources sustainability criteria. The decision-making model combines hierarchical analysis and the fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The management alternatives were presented spatially in the form of zoning maps at the level of irrigation zones of the study area. The results show that the irrigation management zone No.3 (alternative A3) was ranked first based on agricultural water demand and supply management in five among seven available scenarios, in which the scenarios represents a possible combination of weights assigned to the weighing criteria. Specifically, the results show that irrigation management zone No.3 (alternative A3) achieved the best ranking values of 0.151, 0.169, 0.152, 0.174 and 0.164 with respect to scenarios 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7, respectively. However, irrigation management zone No.2 (alternative A2) achieved the best values of 0.152 and 0.150 with respect to the second and third scenarios, respectively. The model results identify the best management alternatives for agricultural water management in large-scale irrigation and drainage networks.

“…Soil stabilization can be defined as a common word for any physical, chemical, biological or combined process of modifying the properties of an ordinary soil to meet an engineering purpose [14]. Soil stabilization can be undertaken by a diversity of ground improvement practices such as compaction, strengthening, drainage and inclusion of natural and synthetic substances or an arrangement of chemical and physical techniques [15,16]. The key purpose of soil stabilization is render the soil and make it stable enough to meet basic requirements of the specific engineering project.…”

Impact of rice husk ash (RHA) and nylon fiber on the bearing capacity of organic soil

In the southwest part of Bangladesh, the regular systems of foundation are not suitable for the massive structure because an organic soil layer exists at a distance of 3-6 m from the ground surface. The existence of organic soil layer causes excessive settlement due to its high compressibility and low shear strength. To solve this matter, soil improvement is needed indispensably because it drops the construction expense and decreases the risk of further damage to the structures. Soil stabilization is an important method in the field of construction. The techniques of stabilization are used to enhance the strength of expansive or poor organic soil. In Bangladesh, huge amounts of industrial wastes are being produced every year due to fast urbanization and industrialization. Disposal of these waste materials is important as these are creating harmful effects on the environment. Rice husk ash (RHA) and nylon fibers are enormously available as industrial waste are dangerous if not disposed technically. Utilization of these industrial waste in ground improvement is likely to offer an admissible solution. This research represents the investigational results acquired from tests performed on organic soil stabilized with RHA and strengthened with randomly distributed nylon fibers. To investigate the impact of RHA and nylon fiber on strength properties of organic soil, standard proctor compaction, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), unsoaked and soaked CBR tests were conducted first on the soil samples partially replaced by RHA with dose 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and then soil plus optimum percent of RHA and different content of nylon fiber (0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%, 1%, 1.2%). The experimented results disclose that inclusion of different dosages of RHA and nylon fiber in organic soil leads to increase in the optimum moisture content and decrease in maximum dry density. The experimental results also express that the suggested technique is very effectual to improve the strength properties of poor organic soil in words of UCS, unsoaked and soaked CBR values. The result of this research work can be used as a guideline for soil improvement and can be used in the field of civil engineering.
