Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSoil-moisture Retention Characteristics of Earth Materials in the Weathering Profile over a Porphyritic Biotite GraniteJohn Kuna RajProblem statement: Three broad morphological zones and several sub-zones were differentiated within the weathering profile based on variations in earth materials and the degree of preservation of original bedrock minerals, textures and structures. Approach: The topmost Zone I (Grade 6) is some 12 m thick and comprises completely weathered bedrock materials (mainly a stiff, clayey sand) with indistinct relict bedrock … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,466 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of Air Entry Values on Hysteresis of Water Retention Curve in Saline SoilS. Konyai, V. Sriboonlue, V. Trelo-GesProblem statement: The saline soil in Northeast Thailand is caused by saline groundwater rise in unsaturated zone to accumulate as salt at soil surface. Approach: This problem had been exacerbated in the last few decades by human activities e.g., deforestation and salt mining. This salinity problem can be solved by capillary rise control of saline groundwater flow. Results: The soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,937 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Hydraulic Conductivity and Soil Water Retention of Inland Peat on Various Land Covers (Case Study: Natural Peat and Burnt Peat)Fengky Florante Adji et al.This research aims to examine differences in the rate of saturated soil hydraulic conductivity (permeability) and unsaturated soil hydraulic conductivity (infiltration) and soil water retention with various pressures in peatland with different land covers. The study was conducted from June to October 2021. The research was conducted at the LAHG-Sebangau and at the KHDTK-Tumbang Nusa, central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Based on … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 19 May 2023 · 6,124 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability of Hydraulic Conductivity Due to Multiple FactorsSanjit K. Deb, Manoj K. ShuklaSoil properties are greatly influenced by intrinsic factors of soil formation as well as extrinsic factors associated with land use and management and vary both in time and space. Intrinsic variability is caused by the pedogenesis and usually takes place at large time scales. The variability caused by extrinsic factors could take effect relatively quickly and could not be treated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 13 Aug 2012 · 10,219 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimplified Procedure for Unsaturated Flow ParametersNatthawit Jitrapinate, Vichai Sriboonlue, Kriengsak Srisuk, Dolrerdee HormdeeProblem statement: The unsaturated hydraulic conductivity K(θ) and Soil Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) for saline soil or soil directly contacted with saline water are not permitted using several apparatus to determining. Approach: A simplified method to determine K(θ) and SWCC by using simple apparatus is presented. Using the proposed numerical model with the van Genuchten equations and inverse calculation for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,828 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Pollution Risks in the Alluvial Aquifer of Tebessa-MorsottS. Kachi, N. Kherici, N. KachiWe studied the vulnerability and risks of pollution of the alluvial aquifer of Tebessa-Morsott that ranks amongst the major groundwater reservoirs of the region. The method used to asses groundwater vulnerability was the DRASTIC method, based on seven parameters that affect and control the groundwater flow: Depth to groundwater, Impact of the unsaturated zone, net recharge, aquifer media, hydraulic conductivity, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,812 accessesView PDF Cite
