Predicting Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity from Soil Texture
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A total of 14 methods to predict
Drain Tube Opening Effects on Drain Inflow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the effects of total opening area, location of openings and gravel envelope on radial flow to 100 mm (4 in.) diam corrugated plastic drains. Radial flow theory was used to ...
Economics of Nitrate Losses from Drained Agricultural Land
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Some of the highest losses of nitrate to surface waters come from drained agricultural land. This research studied, for Belgian farming conditions, (i) the effect of subsurface drainage density on nitrate losses and (ii) ...
Controlled versus Conventional Drainage Effects on Water Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fertilized cropland is a potential nonpoint source of nitrogen and phosphorus, which can contribute to the nutrient enrichment of surface water ecosystems. Research has shown that agricultural drainage water may contain ...
