estimation of seepage from water channels are necessary in evaluating water productivity in agricultural sector as affected by floodwater spreading on plains and artificial recharge of groundwater. several empirical seepage equations have been developed for this purpose. previous research results in iran have shown lots of variation in the coefficients and the empirical equations change in diff...

rade control structures are used to control bed erosion in steep small rivers mostly in the mountains. scour downstream of this structure can lead to failure. over the past years, the effect of different variables on this phenomena have been studied, however the effect of upward seepage which is common due to head difference of the banks water table or water surface level between the upstream a...

6 [1] The role of groundwater in forming Martian valley networks is simulated in a 7 computer model as seepage erosion by contributing to surface runoff and as seepage 8 weathering by causing accelerated weathering of bedrock, which makes its subsequent 9 erosion and removal easier. Simulation results show that seepage erosion cannot mobilize 10 large grain size sediment and is marginally effec...

Simulation results show that seepage erosion cannot mobilize large grain size sediment and is marginally effective at gen...

Experiments are conducted to quantify leakage through a circular geomembrane (GMB) hole using two subgrades (underliners) not meeting modern filter criteria. Test results show that 1.9- and 5.0-fold increase in diameter causes 1.8- 6.2-fold leakage, respectively, whereas 2-fold GMB thickness an approximate 10% decrease leakage. For constant hydrostatic effective stress, 2- 3-fold water head abo...

Constructed wetlands positioned in the landscape between row crop agriculture and surface waters can be used to intercept tile drainage and serve as agricultural waste water detention basins. A potential exit pathway in constructed wetlands for detained water and possibly NO3 -N is via seepage through and under an earthen berm. The objective of this study was to determine if seepage was an impo...

Seepage into drifts in unsaturated tuff is an important issue for the long-term performance of the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Drifts in which waste packages will be emplaced are subject to degradation in the form of rockfall from the drift ceiling, induced by stress-relief, seismic, or thermal effects. The objective of this study is to calculate seepage rates, ...

We present stable isotope and geochemical data from four sediment cores from west of Prins Karls Forland (ca. 340 m water depth), offshore western Svalbard, recovered from close to sites of active methane seepage, as well as from shallower water depths where methane seepage is not presently observed. Our analyses provide insight into the record of methane seepage in an area where ongoing ocean ...
