An Integrated Approach for Modeling Water Flow and Solute Transport in the Vadose Zone
As geographical information systems (GIS) are increasingly being applied to surface and subsurface flow and transport modeling issues, it becomes important to more clearly define potential advantages and achievable objectives with this technology. This chapter describes an integrated conceptual framework for predicting basin-scale solute loading rates through and from the vadose zone. The appro...
متن کاملThe Effect of Soil Heterogeneity on the Vadose Zone Transport of Bacteria for Bioaugmentation
Heterogeneity in hydraulic, physical and chemical properties of porous media can not only limit microbial dispersion but may also complicate the quantification of microbial transport processes and resultant microbial activities. The objectives of this research were to determine the potential for bacterial transport through an unsaturated soil block under transient flow conditions and to determi...
متن کاملA geostatistical modeling study of the effect of heterogeneity on radionuclide transport in the unsaturated zone, Yucca Mountain.
Retardation of certain radionuclides due to sorption to zeolitic minerals is considered one of the major barriers to contaminant transport in the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain. However, zeolitically altered areas are lower in permeability than unaltered regions, which raises the possibility that contaminants might bypass the sorptive zeolites. The relationship between hydrologic and chemic...
متن کاملRole of vadose-zone flow processes in regional-scale hydrology: review, opportunities and challenges
At the regional scale, vadose-zone processes are recognized for controlling both short-term dynamics in watershed hydrology and long-term water balances of hydrologic basins. In this paper we explore the various conceptual and mathematical models that have been proposed or could be considered to represent water fluxes in the vadose zone at the catchment, watershed or regional scale. Such models...
