A brief overview of the causes, impacts and amelioration of soil water repellency - a review
Soil and Water Research, 2008 This article describes the phenomenon of soil water repellency, starting from the fundamental principals of water transport and storage in soil. Soil water repellency is a reduction in the rate of wetting and retention of water in soil caused by the ...

Strength and Water-Repelling Properties of Cement Mortar Mixed with Water Repellents [PDF]
Materials, 2021 In this study, the compressive strength and water contact angle of mortar specimens prepared by mixing two types of water repellent with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and rapid-hardening cement mortar were measured before and after surface abrasion.

Water-entry pressure in water repellent soils: a review [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Water repellent soils can be naturally promoted (e.g. after wildfires) or synthetically induced by mixing with hydrophobic compounds (e.g. polydimethylsiloxane).

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2013 Soil water repellency determines the water available in the soil system, the runoff generation and the geomorphologic processes. This study examines the soil wettability during the summer of 2008 and 2009 in forest soils with different fire history, and ...

Effect of kaolinite and Ca-montmorillonite on the alleviation of soil water repellency
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2004 The effects of adding 1-3% (weight) kaolinite or Ca-montmorillonite on the wettability of silica sand, made highly water repellent with stearic acid, was studied during wetting and prolonged drying phases at 50°C.
