Abstract

ABSTRACT Fluctuations in depth of the water table midway between subsurface-drainage/subirrigation conduits in a sump-controlled water table management system were predicted within an average deviation of 8 cm in DRAINMOD simulations conducted for a Commerce silt loam soil in the Mississippi Delta. The average daily sump water level from a field experiment was used as a model input to establish changes in the drainage outlet water level boundary conditions.
