Electrokinetic techniques for the determination of hydraulic conductivity

A review on enhancement techniques of electrokinetic soil remediation

During the last decade, the expansion of urbanization and industrial activities caused serious environmental problems such as soil pollution. Novel technologies are required to remediate soil contamination with toxic contaminants, including heavy metals and organic pollutants. In recent years, there have been increasing attempts to improve soil remediation efficiency. Electrokinetic (EK) is an ...

Scaling and Fractal Concepts in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity: Comparison of Some Models

Measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, is normally affected by flow patterns such as macro pore; however, most current techniques do  not differentiate flow types, causing major problems in describing water and chemical flows within the soil matrix. This study compares eight models for scaling Ks and predicted matrix and macro pore Ks, using a database composed of 50 datasets...

Determination of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity by internal drainage assuming a uniform soil water profile

An evaluation of genetic algorithm method compared to geostatistical and neural network methods to estimate saturated soil hydraulic conductivity using soil texture

ABSTRACT-Determining hydraulic conductivity of soil is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. In this study, Algorithm Genetic and geostatistical analysis and Neural Networks method are used to estimate soil saturated hydraulic conductivity using the properties of particle size distribution. The data were gathered from 134soil profiles from soil and lander form studies of the Ardabil Agricul...
