Using pedotransfer functions in vadose zone models for estimating groundwater recharge in semiarid regions

Using Pedotransfer Functions in Vadose Zone Models for Estimating Groundwater Recharge in Semiarid Regions

Soil Hydraulics Properties Estimation by Using Pedotransfer Functions in a Northeastern Semiarid Zone Catchment, Brazil

Hydrological modeling of the unsaturated soil zone fluxes allows the transfer processes simulation through the hydrological active soil zone. The pedotransfer functions (FTP) are useful tools in the modeling process. They contain analytical functions derived through statistic optimization process using a large amount of soil information data. This paper aims to analyze the level of reliability ...

Pedotransfer functions for estimating soil moisture content using fractal parameters in Ardabil province

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Soil moisture curve is an important characteristic of soil and its measurement is necessary for determining soil available water content for plant, evapotranspiration and irrigation planning. Direct measurements of soil moisture coefficients are time-consuming and costly. But it is possible to estimate these characteristics from readily available soil propert...

Estimating Hydraulic Conductivity Using Pedotransfer Functions

Site Selection for Groundwater Artificial Recharge in Silakhor Rangelands Using GIS Technique

Groundwater is among the most important resources of drinking water supply ofthe worldwide population. Use of recharge area is one of the methods for artificiallyrecharging groundwater. Selection of suitable sites for artificial recharge is very importantand must be carried out accurately. There are different types of land use, only rangelandsare appropriate for artificial recharge because of t...
