Abstract: Phytoextraction is an ecofriendly technology through which plants are used for removing heavy metal contaminant from polluted sites. The effective implementation of this cost effective emerging technology requires a ...

Abstract: Water uptake by plants is one of the major components of water balance of the vadose zone that greatly influences the contaminant and moisture movement in variably saturated soils. In this study, a nonlinear macroscopic ...

Abstract: The soil moisture flow and solute transport regimes of the vadose zone associated with specific hydrogeological conditions play a crucial role in pollution risk assessment of the underlying groundwater resources. An effort ...

Abstract: This study examined the potential of the aquatic macrophyte Eichhornia crassipes for bioaccumulating hexavalent chromium and its effects on the plant’s morphology. The macrophytes were exposed to different concentrations ...

Abstract: A numerical model is developed in this study for simulating soil moisture flow in layered soil profile with plant growth. A dynamic root compensation mechanism (RCM) is used for a nonuniform root distribution pattern to ...

Abstract: A variably saturated soil moisture flow model is developed for planted soils with depth varying properties by incorporating a nonuniform macroscopic root water uptake function. The model includes spatial and temporal ...

Abstract: Understanding the hydrochemical composition of water resources in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA, Dodoma, Tanzania) related to climate variability is essential for sustainable development. Thus, the current study ...
