Investigation of the role of filters in soil moisture conservation using rainwater harvesting techniques on steep lands

Knowledge about optimizing use of rain water under different systems is crucial for overcoming water stress and maximizing crop yield. In this regard, rain-water harvesting is one option that increases the amount of water per unit cropping area, reduces drought, and enables use of run-off. In this study, the importance of filters in rainwater catchment systems for increasing crop yields on stee...

Traditional and microirrigation with stochastic soil moisture

[1] Achieving a sustainable use of water resources, in view of the increased food and biofuel demand and possible climate change, will require optimizing irrigation, a highly nontrivial task given the unpredictability of rainfall and the numerous soil‐plant‐ atmosphere interactions. Here we theoretically analyze two different irrigation schemes, a traditional scheme, consisting of the applicati...

Adsorption of arsenic on soil under different soil moisture conditions

The adsorption study was conducted on three Japanese soils with different soil properties to characterize the adsorption pattern of Arsenic (As). Double tube method was used to find out the effect of soil moisture levels on As adsorption. For this study, besides double tube method, conventional batch method also was used. The As adsorption showed two phase kinetics. An initial and rapid adsorpt...
