Measurements of water repellency and infiltration of the soil [PDF]

, 2013
Soil water repellency is a reduction in the rate of wetting caused by the presence of hydrophobic coatings on soil particles. The occurrence of the absorption of water from the surface of the ground in its interior is called infiltration.

Persistence of water repellency in coarse-textured soils under various types of forests in NW Spain

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2019
The primary purpose of this work was to assess the persistence of water repellency in the surface horizon of coarse-textured soils under natural Quercus robur ecosystems, and Pinus pinaster and Eucalyptus globulus plantations, in the northwest of the ...

Soil hydrophysical properties as affected by solid waste compost amendments: seasonal and short-term effects in an Ultisol

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2019
Application of compost is known to improve the hydraulic characteristics of soils. The objective of this study was to examine the seasonal and short-term effects of solid waste compost amendments on selected hydrophysical properties of soil during dry ...

Water quality and surfactant effects on the water repellency of a sandy soil [PDF]

, 2011
Differences in irrigation water quality may affect the water repellency of soils treated or untreated with surfactants. Using simulated irrigations, we evaluated water quality and surfactant application rate effects upon the water repellency of a Quincy
