Scientists and practitioners agree that integrated water resource management is necessary, with an increasing need for research at the regional scale (103
These, if in sufficient quantity and with sufficient activity, may dominate not only the soil strength but also its thermal sensitivity owing to their large temperature-dependent volume and strength changes19, partly related to their larger water content. The presence of minerals of the smectite ...
highlight the importance of understanding soil-moisture dynamics and their control on hydro(geo)logical responses. These results were then used as input in a water balance to calculate groundwater recharge. Two approaches were used to assess the accuracy of these groundwater balance estimates: (1)...
However, a strong reduction in drainage compensated for the increased water loss. The overall larger extractable soil moisture content, in particular during winter, enhanced the surface run-off. An impact on the seasonal cycle of the soil moisture content was also noticeable. The soil moisture ...
Furthermore, the reusability of the modified masks was analyzed in terms of the water contact angle achieved after immersion. The drainage test showed insignificant leaching of the Si coating suggesting strong interaction between the polyurethane and surface modifiers and SEM micrographs confirmed that ...
For the crusted peat experiment, peat-filled trays were sprayed with 2 L water in a fine mist (2.8 mm precipitation), and left to air dry for 36 h. This treatment produced a thin (2–3 mm) dry crust at the peat surface. CAMPBELL ET AL.— WIND EROSION IN MILLED PEATLANDS 87 Both...
This study deals with the free-surface supercritical flow through a double-right-angled bend (DRAB), which can be found in storm drainage networks in steep terrains. Laboratory experiments showed that strong backwater effects and water-surface oscillations are generated upstream of the DRAB, especial...
All tidal waterways exhibit the characteristics of changing from a coarse to fine grain size from the mouth to the open water. 3.3.2. Distribution Characteristics of Sorting Coefficient The sorting coefficient reflects the uniformity of sediment grain size and is often used as an environmental ...
The value of 1 mm was taken as a rock thickness interacted with water for rock weight calculation. As a result of our calculations, we accept the water–rock ratio as 31.65. Figure 3. Weathering crusts on sulfide-containing dump material. The time of water–rock interaction was taken as ...
Precipitation patterns, water flow direction, and local land-use practices affect surface water (SW) and shallow groundwater (SGW) nutrient concentrations in riparian wetlands. Given physical process complexities, spatiotemporal quantification of nutrients and physical factors influencing nutrient concentrations...
