This department is offering a grant to University of Arizona for research on water and salt management in Yuma, Arizona, located in the Lower Colorado River Basin. The study focuses on the importance of effective leaching to reduce salinity levels in irrigation water, crucial for agricultural sustainability in this region. The grant aims to address the challenges of salt content in irrigation water affecting crop yields, particularly in the context of excess irrigation required for leaching salts below the crop root zone. Closing date: Sep 06, 2017.

| Description: | Water and salt management are vital to agricultural sustainability in Yuma, Arizona, which is located within the Lower Colorado River Basin. Irrigation water contains salts and because the shallow ground water in the valleys, which fluxes up through the fine textured soil by capillarity, also contains salts, some level of excess irrigation (beyond consumptive use) must be applied to leach salts below the crop root zone. Effective leaching is especially important in the Lower Colorado River Basin because many of the crops produced are sensitive to salinity. To reduce risk of loss of crop yield, there is some level of excess irrigation (beyond crop consumptive use) that must be applied to leach salts below the crop root zone. |
