Dripping Rainfall Simulators for Soil Research—Design Review

Dripping rainfall simulators are important instruments in soil research. However, a large number of non-standardized have been developed, making it difficult to combine and compare the results different studies which they were used. To overcome this problem, is necessary become familiar with design performances current simulators. A search has conducted for scientific papers describing dripping (DRS) that thematically related research using DRS. Simulator analysis was performed integrally, more than one dripper (DRS>1) (DRS=1). Descriptive numerical data extracted from sorted by proposed categories, according types subtypes used determined. The six groups elements could consist determined, as well their characteristics, representation statistical analyses available parameters. characteristics analyzed presented, facilitating selection future Description accordance basic simulator should provide all easier replication step closer reduction diversification standardization intended
