Sensitivity of Vadose Zone Water Fluxes to Climate Shifts in Arid Settings

Biodegradation in the Vadose Zone

Wastewater Treatment for a Possible Water Reuse in Semi-arid Climate Zone

The main objective of this work was to investigate on the possible conjunction of electrochemical processes (electrooxidation and electrocoagulation) for the treatment of dyes bearing wastewater for a possible valorisation in irrigation fields. The used methods were also tested separately to see the extent of the treatment yield of each technique. Experiments were conducted in laboratory confec...

Climate risk management for water in semi–arid regions

Background: New sources of hydroclimate information based on forecast models and observational data have the potential to greatly improve the management of water resources in semi-arid regions prone to drought. Better management of climate-related risks and opportunities requires both new methods to develop forecasts of drought indicators and river flow, as well as better strategies to incorpor...

An Improved Dual-Permeability Model of Water Flow and Solute Transport in the Vadose Zone

onstrated under field conditions (e.g., Flury, 1996; Jarvis, 2002). We introduce an improved, one-dimensional, non-steady-state dualIn recent years, our knowledge of the mechanisms that permeability model (MACRO 5.1). The model simulates water flow generate and sustain preferential movement of water and solute transport in the vadose zone of structured soils by coupling and solutes has been inc...

Determination of ground water quality associated with lignite mining in arid climate

Ground water and surface water create a range of problems in lignite mining utilizing surface mining methods. In order to create a safe and economic mining environment, it is essential to carry out mining after dewatering the rock mass surrounding the lignite mines by advance dewatering techniques. This paper briefly describes the ground water regimes including pressure gradients associated wit...
