Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A method to estimate of land use type such as saline lands, sand dunes, grassland etc. from topographic characteristics such as altitude, gradient and altitude difference in an irrigated arid agricultural area was developed and yearly change of saline area was estimated. It was statistically shown that sand dunes and lakes are located adjacent to each other. The water balance, which is the difference between inflow and outflow amount of water for each partial block, was found to be larger in blocks with higher area of sand dune and the saline land. From the continuous groundwater levels monitored at the middle of the dune slope, foot of the dune and the surrounding area, it was found that the variation of the levels was consisted of annual fluctuation due to irrigation, fluctuation accompanying rainfall event and daily fluctuation accompanying evapotranspiration, and that the sand dunes play roles to store the irrigated water and to supply the water to the surrounding area.
