A Mechanized System for Establishment of Forage Shrubs in Water Harvesting Micro-catchment Structures

The Effects of Micro Catchment Runoff Harvesting System on Soil Moisture Enhancement

Rainfall harvesting and storage in soil depth through micro catchment contribute to curtail water deficiency of plants. The objective of this research that was conducted in Kaboodeh-Olya village in Kermanshah province, Iran, was to compare the effects of three different micro catchment systems on soil moisture storage including flat, crescent and rhombus shaped. The experimental research was pe...

Micro-Catchment Rain Water Harvesting Systems and fruit seedlings: Strategies and Research challenges

     The use of Rain-Water Harvesting (RWH) systems for fruit seedling planting in addition to helping to make optimal use of runoff and soil and water conservation, will also help the production of agricultural and horticultural products. Accordingly, this study has focused on the investigation of the effects of RWH systems on the growth of fruit seedlings and their establishment, especially i...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Investigations of Rainwater harvesting system from Rooftop catchment (Case study: babolrood catchment)

A Mechanized Anchorage System for Quick Deployment Structures

Research was conducted for the development and evaluation of an alternative ground anchorage system for US Army quick deployment structures. The following criteria were required: mechanized anchor installation with manual backup, ability to anchor TEMPER structures with internal pressure of 2.6 psf (124.5 Pa) in 65 mph (29.1 m/s) winds, functionality in all expected deployment soil types, and t...
