Irrigation-induced erosion and subsequent sediment loss is a serious agricultural and environmental problem. Recent recognition of this problem has stimulated the development and evaluation of erosion and sediment-loss- control technology. Research results indicate that the application of the technology available today can reduce sediment loss by 70-100%. Important practices include irrigation-water-management, sediment-retention basins, buried-pipe tailwater-control systems, vegetative filter strips, tailwater- recovery systems, keeping crop residues on the soil surface and in furrows, and implementing conservation tillage practices.
