Research progress in the furrow irrigation erosion

First, from the view of the erosion mechanism, the main achievements in the furrow irrigation erosion (FIE) affected by the characteristics of irrigation water and the mode of irrigation action are analyzed.The primary differences between the furrow erosion from irrigation and the erosion from rainfall in the farmland are explained.Next, the prediction model for the furrow irrigation erosion is introduced, and the primal problems of the prediction model is brief described.Then, the prevention and the cure technique for the FIE are presented.Finally, the tentative plan on the research of FIE in China is proposed.
