Drainage
The Agricultural Drainage Program collects, evaluates, reports information
and conducts studies and demonstration projects focusing on drainage
problems in the San Joaquin Valley. The resulting data and information
on agricultural drainage issues enable better definition of drainage
problems and lead to implementation of management plans. |

|
Integrated Drainage Management
Integrated On-Farm Drainage Management (IFDM) is a state-of-the-art
management system that provides for drainage water reuse to improve
water availability for crop production and to minimize salt and selenium
risks to water quality and the environment. |
| |
|
|
|
Drainage Treatment
Investigate technologies for treating agricultural subsurface drainage
water. Technologies involve removing salt by reverse osmosis, reducing
and removing selenium through biological processes, and managing salt
by using solar salt-gradient ponds and agro forestry. |
| |
|
|
|
Drainage Monitoring
Determine the aerial extent of drainage problem areas (groundwater
level within 20 feet of ground surface) and the quality and quantity
of subsurface drainage for the San Joaquin Valley. Collect, maintain,
and evaluate water quality data and produce the annual San Joaquin
Valley Drainage Monitoring Report. |
| |
|
|
|
Desalination
Provide technical assistance concerning desalination and advanced
treatment of brackish agricultural wastewaters – including process
selection, economic factors, operations and maintenance, environmental
requirements, and pilot treatment studies. |
| |
|

Proposition 204
Under The Safe,
Clean, Reliable Water Supply Act, the Department seeks to develop
methods of using and concentrating salts, and reducing contaminants
in the State’s subsurface agricultural drainage water by soliciting
proposals from public entities seeking funding for research activities
consistent with the goals of the program. |
