The vadose zone plays a significant role during artificial recharge via the infiltration basin. Its thickness, lithology, heterogeneity, among others greatly affect efficiency. main objective of this research is to establish and impacts basin features factors on water distributions. In work, an ideal conceptual model was considered, mathematical models were built using HYDRUS (2D/3D) software p...

Salt accumulation within the root zone significantly effects plant growth and development in arid semi-arid regions. Today, use of low-quality irrigation water agricultural production is increasing rapidly, because continuous depletion pollution resources. This means more salt transferred to soil profile. It great importance predetermine practices for sustainable crop production. For this purpo...

Despite increasing use of pressurized irrigation methods, most projects worldwide still involve surface systems. Accurate estimation the amount infiltrating water and its spatial distribution in soil is great importance design management furrow Moment analysis has previously been applied to describe subsurface using input data from numerical simulations rather than field measured data, assuming...

Enhanced water use efficiency (WUE) is the key to sustainable agriculture in arid regions. The installation of capillary barriers (CB) has been suggested as one potential solutions. CB effects are observed between two soil layers with distinctly different hydraulic properties. A helps retain upper, relatively fine-textured layer, suppressing losses by deep drainage. However, retaining a shallow...

This study investigated the moisture distribution characteristics of a soil wetting body under different influencing factors to inform design and management moistube irrigation system. A mathematical model movement was established based on Hydrus-2D software. The suitability simulation verified by laboratory experiments. Numerical simulations were carried out with investigate influence texture,...

Abstract Measurements of the soil water characteristic (SWC) and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity [ K ( h )] curves, which are at core modeling flow transport processes in porous media, laborious prone to experimental errors. To overcome some current limitations, we examined potential feasibility shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging imbibition into dry during a controlled laboratory experiment c...

Evaporation from the soil surface (E) can be a significant source of water loss in arid areas. In sparsely vegetated systems, E is expected to be a function of soil, climate, irrigation regime, precipitation patterns, and plant canopy development and will therefore change dynamically at both daily and seasonal time scales. The objectives of this research were to quantify E in an isolated, drip-...
