Abstract

The results of an earlier study [1] are used to consider the motion of underground water flowing from an irrigation channel. The surface of the ground flow usually has an uneven shape, since in some sections there is stripwise irrigation, while at others evaporation may occur or rain may fall. The variations of the water level in the channel are assumed known. The subsequent variation of the ground water level is determined. If the level rises appreciably there can be salinization or swamped ground can form.
