This study aimed to gain new insights into urban hydrological balance (in particular, the evaporation from paved surfaces). Hourly data were obtained simultaneously two high-resolution weighable lysimeters. These lysimeters are covered in pavement sealing types commonly used for sidewalks Berlin, namely cobble-stones and concrete slabs. A paired experiment field conditions is designed determine...

A field experiment was conducted to study the consumptive use of water leaf (Talinum triangulare) on a constructed small scale combined weighing and non-weighing Lysimeter. This considered design construction lysimeter that characteristics non-weighing. The main components facility are mild steel, load cell, Arduino nano, micro secure digital (Micro SD) card, liquid crystal display (LCD) screen...

Nitrification inhibitors (Thiourea and nitrification inhibitor “A”) with urea fertilizer were used to enhance the nitrogen efficiency. Nitrification inhibitors and the amount of nitrogen were applied through urea fertilizer to rice seed in Column Lysimeters. The whole experiment was conducted with following treatments such as; urea application as a control at 2gN/10kg (200 kg N/ha), urea applic...

Plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used in high intensity vegetable production regions such as Florida. Drip irrigation can be much more efficient than sprinkler irrigation since only the root zone of the cropped area is irrigated. However, improper irrigation management can lead to wasted water and leaching of soluble chemicals such as nitrate. In this project, several irrigation t...

The decline in water quality in Lake Taupo has been attributed to nitrogen (N) leaching from surrounding land areas. Pastoral agriculture has been identified as a significant contributor to this N transfer to the lake through animal urine deposition. There is therefore an immediate need for new management options to reduce N losses. The objective of this study was to measure the effectiveness o...

Physical changes that occur on the surface of fired shots due to firing and impact with soil may increase the dissolution of muniton metals. Increased metal dissolution could potentially increase metal transport and leaching, affecting metal concentrations in surface and groundwater. This research describes the relationship between the surface changes on fired tungsten-nickel-iron (94% W:2% Ni:...

Abstract Understanding transport and fate processes in the subsurface is of fundamental importance to identify leaching potentials herbicides or other compounds groundwater resources. HYDRUS‐1D was used simulate water flow solute arable land lysimeters. Simulations were compared observed drainage rates stable isotopes (δ 18 O) drainage. Four different model setups investigated statistically eva...
