The effect of long-term irrigation with municipal treated wastewater on the saturated hydraulic conductivity of a silt loam soil and its estimation- a case study

علوم آب و خاک, 2017
Treated wastewater may influence soil structure, porosity and as a consequence, soil saturated hydraulic conductivity. This study aims to assess the effect of wastewater on saturated hydraulic conductivity; and to determine the suitable soil solids ...

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.

Soil texture governs the influence of different microplastics on soil hydraulic properties

Vadose Zone Journal
Adequate water availability in soil is crucial for optimal plant growth. However, even small amounts of microplastics (MPs) can disrupt the soil pore structure, impacting water retention and hydraulic conductivity, and consequently plant‐available water.

New Standards for Probabilistic Fitting of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity

World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2007, 2007
The KSTAT Standard Committee of the Environmental Water Resources Institute (EWRI) and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) initiated activities in year 2005. Over the last two years, the KSTAT Committee has produced two preliminary standard-guidance documents expected to be published by ASCE following public review. This paper summarizes the

The Linkage Between Near‐Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity and Tritium Leaching

European Journal of Soil Science
ABSTRACT Macropore flow in structured soils is an important process determining the transport of water, contaminants, and nutrients in the soil. Therefore, we also expect a close connection between hydraulic conductivity ( k ( h ...

Design and Modeling of a High‐Displacement, Skin‐Integrated Flexible Electromagnetic Actuator for Haptic Interfaces in Virtual Reality

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A flexible, skin‐integrated electromagnetic actuator is developed for wearable virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) haptic systems. A tunable design model enables control over displacement and resonance frequency. The system is validated through a custom VR application with a 6 × 4 actuator array, demonstrating real‐time, spatially targeted tactile ...

Examining the Mid to Long‐Term Variability in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Sandy Soils and Its Influencing Factors Under Constant Head Test in the Laboratory

Water Resources Research
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is a crucial parameter that influences water flow in saturated soils, with applications in various fields such as surface water runoff, soil erosion, drainage, and solute transport. However, accurate determination of

Soil physical quality indices of mining-induced disturbances in soil within the Loess region of western China

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management
Soil sampling and in situ measurements were conducted at 24 locations at three time points from May 2015 to April 2016. The statistical analysis showed that the variabilities of soil water content and soil penetration were moderate, while particle size ...
