Abstract: Existing technologies have been tailored to deliver cost-effective irrigation on a railway embankment and excavated steep slopes (referred to as batters) within a semiarid environment. Irrigation is to aid the establishment ...

Abstract: An advanced technology cost-effective drip irrigation system design and setup on environmentally sensitive elevated steep slopes (batters) of a coal train derailment site in Central Queensland, Australia, are presented. ...

Abstract: The focus of this paper is the optimum use of mulch (biodegradable erosion control blankets and waste ballast) on steep slopes (batters) to aid the establishment of grasses for erosion control. Biodegradable blankets are ...

Abstract: Emitters inserted in drip irrigation laterals cause local head loss, generally estimated as a product of a coefficient and the velocity head. This local head loss coefficient and the emitter discharge curve hydraulic ...

Abstract: In this paper, simple methods for validating the emitter characteristics of driplines and pump performance curves for dripline network design and simulation are presented. Pressure compensating driplines were tested and ...

Abstract: Grass establishment on railway embankment steep slopes for erosion control in Central Queensland, Australia, is aided by drip lateral irrigation systems. The effective field values of the lateral parameters may be different ...

Abstract: Railway formation (embankments and cuttings) in Queensland are experiencing increased maintenance costs due to rainfall induced erosion and sedimentation problems. The erosion problems can be reduced by establishing grass ...
