Impacts of Agricultural Drainwater and Contaminants on Wetlands at Kesterson Reservoir, California
Kesterson Reservoir (Kesterson) received subsurface agricultural drainwater containing high levels of salts and other minerals from farmland in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Aquatic plants and invertebrates were sampled at Kesterson in May, August, and December of 1984. The reservoir supported a different biota and lower species diversity than a nearby control site (Volta WMA). Kesterson had a greater plant and seed biomass while Volta had a greater invertebrate abundance. Submergent habitat at Kesterson was dominated by widgeongrass (Ruppia maritima) while Volta was dominated by horned pondweed (Zannichellia palustris). Several aquatic invertebrates, including Amphipoda, Exlais, Gas...

Salinity and Drainage in San Joaquin Valley, California
This book documents the history of irrigated agriculture and drainage in the San Joaquin Valley, and describes the hydrology and biogeochemical processes of salts and selenium, remediation technologies for salts and trace elements and policy and management options. The contents are comprised of fourteen chapter-length independent treatises, each depicting with fresh perspective a distinctive salinity drainage topic. The opening chapters detail the evolution of irrigated agriculture, and depict the geochemical and hydrological processes that define the San Joaquin Valley, including the physics, chemistry, and biology attributes that impact water management policies and strategies. Next, the c...
