Sensitivity of urban flood simulations to stormwater infrastructure and soil infiltration

Journal of Hydrology, 2020
Flooding from intense rainfall is a major hazard in many urban areas. One of the major challenges in urban flood simulations is lack of data about the location and properties of stormwater infrastructure and land cover.

Fine roots determine soil infiltration potential than soil water content in semi-arid grassland soils

Journal of Hydrology, 2019
Soil water is the key limiting factor for achieving sustainable revegetation. Soil infiltration rate plays an important role in determining the inputs from precipitation, which is important for the plant growth and groundwater recharge in semi-arid ...

Infiltration in Swelling Soils

Water Resources Research, 1985
Infiltration phenomena in swelling soils were investigated theoretically. The approach taken consisted of applying both the approximate analytical techniques developed by J.‐Y. Parlange and co‐workers and conventional finite difference numerical methods to study the generalized Richards equation for one‐dimensional infiltration in a swelling soil ...

Infiltration of Water Into Soil

2023
The infiltration of water into soil has profound importance as a central component of the hydrologic cycle and as the means of replenishing soil water that sustains terrestrial life. Systematic quantitative study of infiltration began in the 19th century and has continued through to the present as a central topic of soils, soil physics, and hydrology ...

The effects of land use change on soil infiltration capacity in China: A meta-analysis.

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
Land use changes are often considered to be the main factors influencing soil infiltration. But the difference of soil infiltration capacity for different land use type is less clear.

By increasing infiltration and reducing evaporation, mulching can improve the soil water environment and apple yield of orchards in semiarid areas

Agricultural Water Management, 2021
Infiltration and evaporation are two important components of soil water balance in semiarid areas. For local orchards using drip irrigation, rainfall and irrigation events have a profound impact on soil infiltration and evaporation. As an effective water

WATER INFILTRATION THROUGH DIESEL-CONTAMINATED SOIL

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2002
The water infiltration characteristics through soil contaminated by diesel was investigated. Columns were packed with soil containing 15, 10, 5, 1, and 0 percent diesel on mass basis. Two soil types were used, namely, clay loam and sand. The results showed that the water infiltration rate through clay loam soil containing 1 percent diesel was about 50 ...
