7 Abstract Streambed drainage was measured at the 8 cessation of 26 ephemeral streamflow events in Rillito 9 Creek, Tucson, Arizona from August 2000 to June 2002 10 using buried time domain reflectometry (TDR) probes. An 11 unusual drainage response was identified, which was char12 acterized by sharp drainage from saturation to near field 13 capacity at each depth with an increased delay betwee...

Combined with the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) extends its abilities from static to dynamic working environment for urban drainage network. In this paper, a framework of Web-GIS for the urban drainage network management system is presented. This three-layer system framework is based on the J2EE technologies. The principles of data structur...

[1] The unsteady state drainage of water from a vertical sand column with and without a finer layer on the top was studied theoretically and experimentally to investigate the airflow generated by the finer layer. The sand column, saturated at its lower portion and initially in the condition of hydrostatic equilibrium, is drained at its bottom at constant head. The results show that significant ...

[1] The nocturnal drainage flow of air causes significant uncertainty in ecosystem CO2, H2O, and energy budgets determined with the eddy covariance measurement approach. In this study, we examined the magnitude, nature, and dynamics of the nocturnal drainage flow in a subalpine forest ecosystem with complex terrain. We used an experimental approach involving four towers, each with vertical prof...

The soil resources of Sierra Leone remain an integral part sustainable agricultural development but knowledge the suitability soils and their management requirements for a variety land uses is still lacking to greater extent. In this view, detailed survey three chiefdoms in Northern was undertaken evaluate genesis interpret soil-landscape properties relationships using toposequence free style a...
