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.

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017 This study explored the effect of soil water repellency (SWR) on soil hydrophysical properties with depth. Soils were sampled from two distinctly wettable and water repellent soil profiles at depth increments from 0-60 cm. The soils were selected because

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2018 Global climate change is projected to continue and result in prolonged and more intense droughts, which can increase soil water repellency (SWR). To be able to estimate the consequences of SWR on vadose zone hydrology, it is important to determine soil ...
