Use of Clay Dispersed in Water for Decreasing Soil Water Repellency : Water Repellency Mitigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this study, we examined the efficiency of a kaolinite clayey soil to mitigate water repellency of a sandy soil with olive trees. The treatment was applied to the soil zone below the tree canopy, which displayed the highest degree of water repellency [average water drop penetration time (WDPT) value = 820 s]. Both dry (incorporated onto the top soil)

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.

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 ...

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).
