Assessment of soil slurry saturation and slurry infiltration in pig slurry storage ponds using electrical resistivity tomography

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Effective management of pig slurry in semi‐arid settings is critical to protect soils and aquifers. This study integrates multi‐profile electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) compiled into stitched 3D volumes with a calibration based on modified Archie's law derived from laboratory resistivity–moisture tests to obtain semi‐quantitative soil ...

Performance of five common soil moisture sensors using default calibration equations in low‐salinity conditions

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil moisture monitoring plays a critical role in water resource management, hydrological modeling, and climate studies, making sensor accuracy and reliability increasingly important. This study evaluates the performance of five soil moisture sensors—the CS655, HydraProbe, TDR‐315N, TEROS 12, and ThetaProbe—using their default calibrations ...

Effects of soil profile configuration‐based weathered coal residue addition on soil water infiltration and evaporation

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Optimizing soil profile configuration is crucial for ensuring food security in arid and semi‐arid regions by regulating soil water distribution. Applying exogenous materials is an effective method to construct functional soil profiles. Most existing studies focused on amending topsoil with exogenous materials, while the impacts of applying ...

The optimality‐based active region model for fingering flow in the vadose zone: Theory, model validation, and generalization

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Traditional macroscopic models for water flow in the vadose zone often assume local equilibrium within a representative element volume. However, under fingering flow this assumption breaks down on a macroscale involving sub‐grid figuring because local equilibrium does not hold between the fingering and non‐fingering domains.

Spatiotemporal Contaminant Occurrence and Risk Assessment in the Arroio Dourado River Under the Influence of Agriculture and a Deactivated Dumpsite

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
Integrated monitoring and risk assessment of an agricultural river influenced by a deactivated dumpsite. ABSTRACT This study evaluated the impacts of agricultural activities and a decommissioned landfill on the Arroio Dourado River and identified critical sampling periods and strategic monitoring locations.

Assessment of a Passive Sampler for Aquifer Microbial Community Profiling and Comparison of Porous Media Applied in a Managed Recharge Scenario

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
Few methods exist for passively sampling aquifer microbes, largely due to limited access to adaptable sampler designs. The choice of adhesion media plays a critical role in determining which microbes are captured and classified after deployment.

Sustainability in Managed Aquifer Recharge Projects: A Case Study of Three European Union Funded Projects

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is presented as a water management approach that fits well within the broad sustainability agenda. Three European MAR projects' outcomes were analyzed to assess how these projects interpret sustainability. This article argues that MAR projects are pushed to a narrow interpretation of sustainability by funder ...

Water Quality Affects Water Source Allocation and Competition Between Sectors Globally

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Human activities, including domestic water use, agriculture, and energy generation, cause increasing challenges in meeting water demands, not only due to water shortages, but also poor water quality. Nevertheless, there remains limited understanding of how water quality influences the allocation of water per source across different sectors at ...

Fielding Floods for Flourishing Farms: A Framework for Assessing the Reuse of Small Flood Reservoirs as Irrigation Reservoirs

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Due to the increased intensity and frequency of droughts under a warming world, agricultural irrigation demand (AID) is likely to increase in many regions of the world—not just in semi‐arid and arid regions, but also in temperate regions. Small reservoirs have often been touted as a decentralized solution to increase water supply resilience ...
