Summary:
SaltMod is a computer program for the simulation and prediction of the salinity of
soil moisture, ground and drainage water (groundwater), the depth of the water table,
drain discharge and leaching of salts in irrigated agricultural lands under different
(geo)hydrologic conditions, varying water management options, including the (re)use of
ground water for irrigation by pumping from wells (conjunctive use), and several crop
rotation schedules. The model aims at sustainable land use and environmentally sound optimal water management for sustainability.

Details: The latest version 1.0.1.0 of 5 November is called SaltMod, previous versions carried the name SaltModW .
Optionally, farmers' responses can be simulated adjusting agriculture and
irrigation to water logging and salinity.
Values of reference evapotranspiration needed in SaltMod can be found from the
CropWat model and ClimWat data base that can be downloaded from the
FAO website.
For irrigation efficiencies used in SaltMod one may consult the publication
"Surface Irrigation Software, SURDEV" by M.Jurriëns, D.Zerihun, J.Boonstra
and R.A.L.Kselik.
For free download of the scanned publication in PDF format go to the Alterra-ILRI
