Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex processes influencing selenium distribution in California's San Joaquin Valley. The author examines the valley's drainage systems, focusing on three agricultural fields with varying drainage durations and selenium concentrations. Through isotopic enrichment and chemical composition analysis, the author sheds light on how saline water, enriched with selenium, interacts with fresher irrigation water. The study reveals a displacement process where less saline water gradually replaces more saline water, leading to changes in the chemical composition of the shallow groundwater. The book explores the relationship between selenium and sulfate concentrations, providing insights into the factors controlling selenium levels. By examining the impact of agricultural drainage systems on selenium mobility, this book contributes to our understanding of water quality management in arid regions and the potential implications for environmental health.
