Physical Controls on Irrigation Return Flow Contributions to Stream Flow in Irrigated Alluvial Valleys
Irrigation can be a significant source of groundwater recharge in many agricultural regions, particularly in arid and semi-arid climates. Once infiltrated, irrigation recharge can travel via subsurface flowpaths that return to the river system in a lagged manner, supplementing natural streamflow wee...
