Summary
  • This paper presents the application of the SPLASH model to simulate the behaviour of the moisture in the plant root zone, recharge and irrigation demand at the day scale. The SPLASH model is a one dimensional lumped parameter soil moisture model. This model was used to generate recharge as deep drainage from irrigated sugar cane fields in the Pioneer Valley. The model was also used to calculate the irrigation demand in those parts of the valley where there were no metered groundwater uses. The SPLASH model is not over-parameterised and only requires seven fixed user-defined parameters to define the soil hydraulic and moisture limit properties, farm irrigation practices, and plant evapotranspiration stress factors. The inputs to the SPLASH model are daily rainfall and pan evaporation and the user-defined seasonal crop factors and irrigation deficits. The SPLASH output at the day scale includes a total water balance involving effective rainfall, consumptive use, irrigation demand, run-off, percolation and recharge. The model was calibrated using observed metered use, cane yield delivered to the sugar mills, and observed water level fluctuations. Kingston's Formula was used to link consumptive use with the required irrigation demand. Close agreement was obtained between the simulated annual consumptive use, cane delivered to the mills, and observed irrigation demand. Close agreement was also obtained between the Shaw leaching fractions and average annual recharge. It was found that the SPLASH model outputs were stable and within the expected range. Over all, by incorporating metered use, cane yield and observed water level fluctuations, the problems of nonuniqueness in the optimisation calibration process were addressed. Sensitivity runs show the model results were most sensitive to crop factors and to the hydraulic properties of the soil. Comparisons were made with other soil moisture models and it was found that the SPLASH model produced more robust results and had the added advantage of lesser assumed user-defined parameters.
