Simulating solute transport in an aggregated soil with the dual-porosity model: measured and optimized parameter values [PDF]

, 1994
The capability of the first-order, dual-porosity model, which explicitly accounts for non-ideal transport caused by the presence of ‘immobile’ water, to predict the non-ideal transport of non-sorbing solute in a constructed aggregated soil has been ...

Impact of Tile Drainage on Evapotranspiration in South Dakota, USA, Based on High Spatiotemporal Resolution Evapotranspiration Time Series From a Multisatellite Data Fusion System

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2017
Soil drainage is a widely used agricultural practice in the midwest USA to remove excess soil water to potentially improve the crop yield. Research shows an increasing trend in baseflow and streamflow in the midwest over the last 60 years, which may be ...

Water balance components of the potential agricultural grabens along the Rift Valley in northern Ethiopia [PDF]

, 2019
Region: Ethiopia's Rift Valley. Focus: matching agricultural water demand and supply is a growing policy challenge in drylands. We investigated the water balance components in Raya (3507 km(2)) and Ashenge (80.5 km(2)) grabens. The rainfall depth, river
