For phosphorus (P) transport from upland areas to surface water systems, the primary transport mechanism is typically considered to be surface runoff with subsurface transport assumed negligible. However, certain local conditions can lead to an environment where subsurface transport may be significant. The objective of this research was to determine the potential of subsurface transport of P al...

We review the organizational principles of the cortical vasculature and the underlying patterns of blood flow under normal conditions and in response to occlusion of single vessels. The cortex is sourced by a two-dimensional network of pial arterioles that feeds a three-dimensional network of subsurface microvessels in close proximity to neurons and glia. Blood flow within the surface and subsu...

We present a Bayesian framework for reconstruction of subsurface hydraulic properties from nonlinear dynamic flow data by imposing sparsity on the distribution of the solution coefficients in a compression transform domain. Sparse representation of the subsurface flow properties in a compression transform basis lends itself to a natural regularization approach, i.e. sparsity regularization, whi...

abstract land surface hydrological models has importance in the determination of soil moisture and temperature, the rate of evapotranspiration, stream flow by emphasis on the land surface physical and dynamic process descriptions. in this research, vic land surface hydrological model has been used for the land surface temperature and stream flow determination. the vic runoff simulation in each ...

Constructed wetland technology has been widely applied around the world to treat domestic wastewaters from the single family home to small communities. Constructed wetlands can be classified as either surface flow wetlands (similar to natural wetlands) or subsurface flow wetlands, where the wastewater flows through a media. Subsurface flow constructed wetlands can either be horizontal flow syst...

BACKGROUND The ability to visualize subsurface blood vessels and measure flow may be useful in certain experimental and clinical settings. METHODS Color Doppler optical coherence tomography was used to visualize and measure blood flow in subsurface vessels in vivo in a rat skin flap model. Local "hemostatic" interventions (epinephrine or sclerosant injection, heat probe, and laser) were then ...

Riparian buffers are a proven practice for removing NO from overland flow and shallow groundwater. However, in landscapes with artificial subsurface (tile) drainage, most of the subsurface flow leaving fields is passed through the buffers in drainage pipes, leaving little opportunity for NO removal. We investigated the feasibility of re-routing a fraction of field tile drainage as subsurface fl...

Interactions between surface and groundwater are a key component of the hydrologic budget on the watershed scale. Models that honor these interactions are commonly based on the conductance concept that presumes a distinct interface at the land surface, separating the surface from the subsurface domain. These types of models link the subsurface and surface domains via an exchange flux that depen...

agricultural droughts are droughts that affect the crop production or the ecology of a region. ravar city that is located in margin of desert and the north of kerman province is one of these areas. due to the existence of enough underground water that entrance to desert and high evaporation to improving agricultural and cultivar activities, it needed to study the construction of underground dam...

3D hydrological modeling was performed, using CATHY (acronym for CATchment HYdrology model), with the basic objective of checking whether the model could reproduce the effects of subsurface agricultural drainage on stream flows and soil water storage. The model was also used to further our understanding of the impact of soil hydrodynamic properties on watershed hydrology. Flows simulated by CAT...
