Water repellency of soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2002
Adverse effects of soil water repellency (hydrophobicity) are of concern during or following rainfall or irrigation, and are often preceded by conditions of high atmospheric relative humidity (RH). Assessments of repellency are, however, commonly conducted on air‐dried samples at ambient laboratory conditions.

Soil Water Repellency

1992
Water repellent soils exhibit hydrophobic properties when dry, resisting or retarding water infiltration into the soil matrix (Brandt, 1969a). Infiltration rates may be reduced by an order of magnitude, even in soils which visually appear to wet “normally” (Wallis et al., 1991).

Water Repellent Soils

2018
Capillary forces in unsaturated soils depend on the surface tension of water, the dimensions of soil pores and on the contact angle of the interfaces of the solid phase of soil (soil matrix) and liquid water. The contact angle (angle of wetting) is assumed to be zero, but in real soils is higher, depending on the properties of the thin surface layer ...

USEFUL SOIL-WATER REPELLENCY INDICES

Soil Science, 2008
Water repellency (WR) has been classically characterized at fixed (usually oven-dry) soil water content (θ g ) in terms of the soil water contact angle (CA), a. However, a has been previously reported to depend upon θ g in a nonlinear fashion, such that WR increases from a wettable state close to saturation (θ g-min ) up to a maximum, α max ...

Manure-Induced Soil-Water Repellency

Soil Science, 2011
AbstractThis laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the potential of nine manure samples from dairy (n = 7), beef (n = 1), and swine (n = 1) to cause water repellency (WR) in six soils; in addition, the duration of WR in two soils was assessed in an incubation study.

Post‐fire Soil Water Repellency

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2004
Fire‐induced soil water repellency is a key control on post‐fire runoff and erosion rates, but there are few data on the persistence of soil water repellency and the soil moisture threshold at which water repellent soils become hydrophilic. This study used repeated sampling to quantify changes in soil water repellency over time and

Modeling infiltration into water repellent soil

2023
Infiltration is an important hydrological process impacting ecology, forestry, agronomy, civil- and environmental engineering. Most infiltration models assume soils to be “wettable”, i.e., water in the soil forming an effective contact angle with the soil matrix that is close to zero.
