The application of additives (e.g., wheat straw (WS) or rapeseed-oil residue (RR)) to soils is a common agronomic practice, used for improving soil water retention. Through a laboratory investigation, this study examined the effects of RR and WS on infiltration, evaporation, water distribution, and water retention. The results indicated that the migration rate of the wetting front, as well as t...

abstract infiltration is one of the most important phenomena which is affected by the soil physical and hydraulic characteristics. measurement of infiltration needs the high cost and is time consuming, therefore estimation of infiltration is necessary. also, due to variability of soil moisture, it is important to determine the appropriate model for the estimating the infiltration rate. the pres...

Abstract In China, fresh water resources are scarce, while brackish abundant. Reasonable utilization of is one the important measures to alleviate contradiction shortage. order study effect irrigation on and salt transport in saline-alkali soils, one-dimensional infiltration experiments soil columns were conducted. The influence with different salinities salinized was compared analyzed. results...

This research examined the types and characteristics of soil, including porosity, water content, void ratio, degree saturation to value infiltration rate in soil located western part Semarang City, Indonesia. The test was carried out at 49 measurement points, based on a 2×2 km 2 grid division area. field using turf-tech infiltrometer. data from results were calculated estimation model Kostiakov...

Film hole irrigation is an advanced low-cost and high-efficiency irrigation method, which can improve water conservation and water use efficiency. Given its various advantages and potential applications, we conducted a laboratory study to investigate the effects of soil texture, bulk density, initial soil moisture, irrigation depth, opening ratio (ρ), film hole diameter (D), and spacing on cumu...

study of soil quality indicators were considered as a useful method in the land use management. changing the land use affect soil hydrological processes such as water infiltration process. spatial variation of water infiltration in soil plays a very important role in hydrologic processes. variability of this process is affected by the inherent and non-inherent characters of the lands. in order ...
