Description

In 2001, the SURDEV software suite was created through a collaboration among the International Institute for Land Reclamation and Improvement (ILRI), Wageningen Environmental Research, and the Institute of Land and Water Management of the Catholic University of Leuven (ILWM) in Belgium. This suite includes three specialized programs: BASDEV, designed for level basins; BORDEV, tailored for sloping borders; and FURDEV, which focuses on graded furrows. Surface irrigation utilizes the force of gravity to effectively distribute water across agricultural fields. As gravity pulls the water, it traverses the fields from one end to another, allowing it to seep into the soil during its flow. Among the various surface irrigation methods, the most prevalent include level basins (which may or may not have level furrows), sloping borders, and sloping furrows, all aimed at efficiently delivering water. The primary goal of these irrigation techniques is to ensure that crops receive water in precise amounts, at optimal times, and in a consistent manner, which ultimately fosters a uniform crop growth while minimizing water wastage. Furthermore, the careful application of these practices can lead to improved agricultural productivity and sustainability.

Description

SWAT MAPS, or Soil, Water, and Topography maps, serve as detailed soil foundation maps designed to facilitate the precise application of fertilizer, seeds, soil amendments, pesticides, and water management practices. These maps are developed through a proprietary method that takes into account various factors including soil texture, organic matter content, topsoil depth, and salinity, all of which can significantly affect crop yield and fertilizer efficiency. Among these factors, water availability is the most critical determinant of yield and fertilizer effectiveness. The SWAT MAPS divide field areas into ten distinct management zones based on the differentiation of dry and wet regions. Topographical elements are categorized by different landscape features found within the field, such as hilltops, mid-slopes, and depressions, which can all affect soil moisture retention, erosion rates, organic matter content, acidity (pH), and nutrient availability. Each SWAT MAP consists of ten zones, which allows for tailored management that addresses the variability present in your agricultural land. This targeted approach ensures that farmers can optimize their resources and maximize productivity while maintaining soil health.
