Measurement of water content in the soil profile is essential for evaluating soil water dynamics. Capacitance sensors detect the soil permittivity (ε ) which can be converted into volumetric soil water content (θ v ) by equations. The relationship between θ v and ε is usually set by default parameters from the manufacturers, but field calibration would be expected to increase the accuracy of th...

estimation of seepage from water channels are necessary in evaluating water productivity in agricultural sector as affected by floodwater spreading on plains and artificial recharge of groundwater. several empirical seepage equations have been developed for this purpose. previous research results in iran have shown lots of variation in the coefficients and the empirical equations change in diff...

Abstract Application of numerical models is useful in coastal sediment studies; however, it is essential to calibrate the models in an appropriate method. Empirical equations, historical satellite imagery and other coastal data and evidence are proposed for the models calibration in the vicinity of coastal indicators around the site of projects. In this study, coastal sediment process of K...

a subsurface drainage network mainly carries unsteady flow and data are not usually available for model parameters calibration in such networks. in the present research, the finite volume method using the time splitting scheme was employed to develop a computer code for solving the one dimensional unsteady flow equations. using corrugated sub drainage pipes, an experimental prototype setup was ...
