A Wetlands Sewage Treatment System for the Community of Teslin
The Village of Teslin, with a population of 450, is located in south-central Yukon, approximately 180 km southeast of Whitehorse. Since 1977, the community has been trucking its sewage...
Pilot Drywell Study Pierce County, Washington
Subsurface disposal of stormwater runoff is widely utilized in areas with permeable or porous soils, including the Clover/Chambers Creek (CCC) Basin in central Pierce County, Washington....
Hydraulic Analysis of the Impacts of I/I on System Capacity
The USEPA Stormwater Management Model was used to evaluate the impact of infiltration and inflow on the separate sewer facilities of one of the largest sewage treatment districts in the...
Navy Targets Effective Infiltration/Inflow Elimination
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), Chesapeake Division, retained the services of RJN Environmental Associates, Inc. to perform a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES)....
Infiltration of Unconsumed Irrigation Water in Utah
The ground-water hydrology of Panguitch Valley and adjacent areas, south-central Utah, was studied during 1988-90. One objective of the study was to measure ground-water recharge from...
Effects of Soil Layering on Infiltration
The effect of sloping soil layers on infiltration depends on the textural composition of both layers at the interface, as well as the slope of the interface. The contractions of flow caused...
Time Scales for Surface-Subsurface Flow Modeling
Traditionally, interactive free surface flow and subsurface flow are analyzed separately, using infiltration rate described by an infiltration formula as the common boundary condition....
Rainfall-Runoff Characteristics of Rangitaiki and Whirinaki Watersheds
The Rangitaiki and Whirinaki watersheds in New Zealand have considerably higher storage and infiltration rates than others in New Zealand. The Rangitaiki watershed is flat compared to...
SRFR?A Model of Surface Irrigation?Version 20
The computer program, SRFR, comprises a mathematical model of flow in furrows, basins, and borders. It is designed for systematic, repeated application in the solution of design and management...
Two-Dimensional Analysis of Furrow Infiltration
A general applicable two-dimensional unsaturated-saturated model for transient soil-water flow conditions in heteogeneous soils was developed. The water flow model was applied to simulate...
Optimization of Furrow Infiltration Parameters from Advance Times and Advance Rates
Optimal design and management of surface irrigation systems requires detailed knowledge of field-wide infiltration. Evaluating infiltration parameters is difficult due to temporal and...
Improved HSPF Infiltration Calibration Procedure with a Linked GIS
A research project for the Florida Institute of Phosphate Research sought to develop an easy-to-apply integrated surface drainage model, HSPF, and groundwater model, MODFLOW, with a geographic...
Rangeland Evaluation of WEPP Hydrology
The hydrology component of the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) utilizes the W.H. Green and G.A. Ampt infiltration equation to simulate the rate and volume of excess rainfall. Excess...
Predicting Overland Flow Response: Effects of Spatially-Varying Soil Properties
A physically-based model of Horton overland flow is applied to experimental data from a simulated rainfall event in eastern Washington. The model employs the Green-Ampt infiltration equation...
Demonstration of an Infiltration Evaluation Methodology
Volatilization in Porous Media During Infiltration
Computation of Unsaturated Soil Parameters Using Upward Infiltration Empirical Data
The relationship between soil moisture content and hydraulic conductivity with the soil tension be defined to simulate unsaturated flow in a porous media. Direct measurements of these...
Rainfall Infiltration and Loss on a Bajada in the Chihuahuan Desert, New Mexico
Watershed runoff from thunderstorms is heavily dependent upon the rainfall intensity and the infiltration or loss rate of the watershed. Although there are techniques available for determination...
Temporal Characteristics of Aridland Rainfall Events
Rainfall intensity data are required to drive infiltration-based runoff models. Because data are sparse and cumbersome, a model to generate reasonable sequences of data is needed. Studying...
