Rainwater Collection and Storage in Thailand: Design, Practices and Operation
This paper reviews the design of rainwater harvesting systems used for potable water supply in Thailand, its implementation, socio-economic aspects, operation and maintenance, water quality aspects and current practice. Rainwater harvesting has become popular in rural areas of Thailand because of population growth, inaccessibility, contamination and unreliability or unavailability of central wa...
متن کاملGeneralized Storage-Reliability-Yield equations for rainwater harvesting systems
Although rainwater harvesting (RWH) is gaining popularity as a sustainable water supply source in urban as well as rural areas, estimating required storage remains an important design challenge. This paper develops a robust, yet computationally simple equation for calculating required storage capacity for a RWH system, which is generally applicable in the United States (U.S.). A simulation mode...
متن کاملSpectral Determination of Plant Water Content of Wheat Canopies
The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between spectral reflectance measurements and the water content of wheat canopies based on the Water Index WI (R900/R970) of Peñuelas et al. (i) and a modified version of this index. For this purpose, reflectance measurements over a full phenological cycle of four wheat canopies using an ASD FieldSpec II spectroradiometer have been performed....
متن کاملVariance in Bidirectional Reflectance over Discontinuous Plant Canopies
An exploratory study of the variance of the bidirec(Deschamps et al., 1994) instruments. Also, directional measurements have been made in a variety of laboratory tional reflectance over discontinuous plant canopies indicates that the patterns in variance can be related to the or field settings. However, soon there will be considerable directional imagery available, particularly from the propert...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Method and Transport in Plant Canopies Equation
Plant canopy reflectance is calculated usinlg the got~ernin~ equation f)r photon transport. The integral equation of tran.sfer is solved by the Monte Carlo method. The main emphasis is on statistical estimation and simulation of the Marcov chain. The leaf dimensions are taken into account in obtaining the hot-spot effect of the canopy. Finally, nmnerieal results fi~r transport equation obtained...
