1 Prevention of acid waterload in the Siikajoki Pyhäjoki area (HaKu) Project participants: Agrifood Research Finland, MTT Finnish Game and Fisheries, RKTL Geological Survey in Finland, GTK Oulu University, OU

2 Presentation 1. HaKu project in general 2. Fish stocks and water quality (in forest ditches): main results year Preliminary results from MTT Ruukki Research Station: Drainage systems for preventing acid load from fields to river 1. Test area, materials and methods 2. Weather results 3. Water level, quality and flow 4. Barley yields from the test areas 1. Project future

3 Project basics Target: Find the methods how to prevent the acid water flow damage Siikajoki- and Pyhäjoki rivers Duration: Functions in Mini Catermass 1. Mapping ASS (GTK): location and features of ASS 2. Investigating water quality in the project area (RKTL, OU) 3. Methods to prevent oxidation in ASS, including field and forest areas (MTT, OU) 4. Reporting the results of the project and recommending land use in ASS areas (all participants)

4 HaKu project area: Siikajoki river and Pyhäjoki river and their watersheds MTT Ruukki

5 Water quality and fish stocks: main results (year 2010) 1. Fish stocks are getting better (dramatic decrease in fish stocks in 2006, especially in Siikajoki and Luohuajoki rivers) 1. Water flowing to the rivers from fields seems to be more acid than water coming from forests Photo: Jermi Tertsunen More fish stock results:

6 More closely: Supplementary ditching in year 2006 Surface: 1m thick peat layer Summer 2010: water level in the ground about 1 m More results: tuomas.saarinen@oulu.fi Photo: Tuomas Saarinen Runoff water from ditched forest areas

7 ph, EC and water height in forest ditch (Site 1/3) Sulphide layer about 1 m deep Minimum ph at the end of September (<4,5) Maximum EC in the beginning of August (~100 ms/ m) Thick peat layer prevents the oxidation? Tuomas Saarinen (Oulu University) tuomas.saarinen@oulu.fi

8 Underdrainage systems comparing 3 different kind of underdrainage systems Measuring water quality, flow and level in the ground Also soil and plant samples Yield (amount, quality)

9 Test area: Siikajokiriver 1. Irrigation and water recycling 3. Normal underdrainage All drainage areas are 2 ha each The whole field is 6 ha Drainage areas (3) are isolated with 10 m wide area with out draining Slag was added to every half of the test areas 2. Controlled underdrainage

10 Basics of the systems Normal underdrainage: very effective in moving water away from the field Controlled underdrainage: very effective drainage system, but water level in the field is under control Subsurface irrigation and water recycling: the maximum ground water level controlling (stable water level), no runoff to the environment in the summer

31 The water level in ditches affects to the flow from the underdrained area in normal underdrainage system The water quality in the irrigated area after summer was better than in other areas The overflow was highest in irrigated area in the autumn It took a long time for controlled and normal underdrainage systems before the overflow /runoff to the river started

34 Area for yield measuring Growth without slag

35 In future in our test area we will have Control ON over the whole year in the irrigated and controlled areas The water flow from the normal ditch to the normal underdrainage system must be prevented somehow in the spring and in the autumn Method for measuring flow in the spring (all test areas) Pipes for measuring the ground water level Interviews with land owners in the project area: Willingness /possibilities to carry out different kind of methods to prevent the acid flow

36 Summary: underdrainage results Results from the underdrainaged area are extremely bad Two warm and dry summer Situation just after the underdrainage system was made Draining was made very deep Rainfalls in autumn and melting snow in the spring caused the acid flows There are big differences in water quality between fields even if the distances are small The effect of irrigation to the grain yield and quality should be taken to account in subcidies to the land owners

37 Many solutions and applications, many experiences and exciting situations

38 Project future Same functions until year 2012 Mapping Water quality: river, watersheds (forests, fields) Fish stocks survive Methods preventing the acid flow (underdrainage systems eg.) Interviews with land owners Raporting results and discussing with local decision makers Co-operation especially with Jermi Tertsunen (ELY) and the new ASS project Water neutralization in noticed ASS problem areas (separated from the HaKu -project in spring 2010) Catermass -project
