hydraulic attributes play important role in hydrological studies, soil conservation, designing irrigation and drainage systems, soil conservation, and controlling soil erosion in watersheds. their measurements are very tedious and time consuming and due to high spatial variability, a large number of measurements are required for obtaining reliable values. nowadays, prediction of these attribute...

A new version of the computer program 1DTempPro extends the original code to include new capabilities for (1) automated parameter estimation, (2) layer heterogeneity, and (3) time-varying specific discharge. The code serves as an interface to the U.S. Geological Survey model VS2DH and supports analysis of vertical one-dimensional temperature profiles under saturated flow conditions to assess gr...

[1] Measurements have been made of the effect of compaction on water retention, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and porosity of two English soils: North Wyke (NW) grassland clay topsoil and Broadbalk silty topsoil, fertilized inorganically (PKMg) or with farmyard manure (FYM). As expected, the FYM topsoil had greater porosity and greater water retention than PKMg topsoil, and the NW clay tops...

The foam generated by the mixture of air and water has a much higher viscosity and lower mobility than those of pure water or gas that constitutes the air-water foam. The possibility of using the air-water foam as a flow barrier for the purpose of groundwater and soil remediation is explored in this paper. A nanoparticle-stabilized air-water foam was fabricated by vigorously stirring the nano-f...

to examine hydraulics of lnapls in soil, the retention curves of diesel fuel and water were both determined by hanging column method. the soil retention parameters were obtained based on van genuchten, brooks-corey and campbell’s models. in addition, the soil hydraulic conductivity for both fluids were predicted based on mualem- brooks-corey, burdine- brooks-corey, mualem-van genuchten and camp...

cial neural networks have become a common tool for modeling complex “input–output” dependencies. In the past, neural network models have been used as a special class of pedotransfer functions (PTFs) using feed-forward back propagation or radial basis functions to approximate any continuous (nonlinear) function (Hecht-Nielsen, 1990; Pachepsky et al., 1996; Schaap and Bouten, 1996; Minasny and Mc...
