Cultivation of Halophytes and Salt Tolerant Forages to Reduce Drainage Volumes on the West-side San Joaquin Valley To compare water use (evapotranspiration) rates of highly salt-tolerant native plants (halophytes) such as Salicornia, Atriplex, and salt-grass, utilizing plant transpiration to reduce irrigation drainage volumes. Project Number: 00-01-003 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California State University, Fresno Director: Benes, Sharon Implementation of a Comprehensive Irrigation Research and Education Program To provide farmers with direction and strategies for increasing water use efficiency. Program will offer field training in new water management techniques, demonstration of efficient irrigation methods, and farm strategies to use when water shortages occur. Project Number: 00-01-025 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California State University, Fresno Director: Zoldoske, David Integrated Management of Irrigation and Drainage Systems on the West Side of the San Joaquin Valley To confront issue of saline drainage water containing selenium, boron, arsenic, and other potentially toxic elements. Study is of integrated irrigation of cotton using shallow ground water. Project Number: 00-02-002 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California State University, Fresno Director: Ayars, Jim Phytoremediation of Selenium-laden Sediment Residing in San Luis Drain To test phytoremediation, using selected plants in association with microbial activity to extract, accumulate, and volatilize selenium in soil and thus reduce the amount of soluble Se entering drainage water and remaining in drainage sediment. Project Number: 00-02-004 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California State University, Fresno Director: Banuelos, Gary Irrigation Management Practices for Improving Water and Nutrient Use Efficiency and Crop Productivity in Peach To increase production profitability and reduce fertilizer and water use on the farm; features evaluation of new management practices for growing peaches, including microirrigation systems with young trees. Project Number: 00-02-008 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California State University, Fresno Director: Bryla, David Evaluation of Lagoon Buffer as a Best Management Practice for Dairy Effluent Stream Reduce pH levels in dairy effluent by adding small amounts of hydro acid into stall flush lines. Scientists are developing methods the results of adding the acid to effluent. Project Number: 00-02-015 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California State University, Fresno Director: Goorahoo, Dave Testing of a New Forage Grass (Pennisetum Sp.) with a Subsurface Drip Irrigation System to Determine the Relationship between Water Consumption, Yield, and Nutritional Value Examine the relationship between water consumption, yield, and nutritional value of elephant grass (Pennisetum) grown under different subsurface drip irrigation regimes. Elephant grass has potential for use as a cattle feed. Project Number: 00-02-035 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California State University, Fresno Director: Rothberg, Morton Evaluation of 100% ETO Irrigation Strategies and Nitrogen Fertility Regime for Tall Fescue Turf in the San Joaquin Valley To test irrigation strategies that will meet state requirements for reduced water use on turf grass. Elements of the study will include use of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer and compost as a top-dressing fertilizer. Project Number: 00-02-046 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California State University, Fresno Director: Zoldoske, David Estimating Evaporation on Irrigated Agricultural Lands in California Improve utilization of California’s water resources by providing better estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) and water balance information. Data will be obtained from current, highly-controlled irrigation projects. Project Number: 00-03-008 Funding Round: 1 (1999-2000) Research Focus Area: Water and Irrigation Technology ARI Member Campus: California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Director: Burt, Charles Irrigation Water Management Education Project To promote the efficient usage of water by agriculture and urban users. Project will provide water, hydraulics and irrigation learning opportunities to irrigation designers, interested professionals, and university and high school students.
