Infiltration in Two Sand Dune Areas in Saudi Arabia
Field infiltration experiments at several locations in two sand dune areas in Saudi Arabia were conducted. Results of these field tests are compared with predictions of the Green and Ampt...
Infiltration into Thick Unsaturated Alluvial Deposits: A Preliminary Study
An infiltration and dye transport study in an unsaturated alluvial deposit was conducted using a square flooding type infiltrometer over a 50 hour period. Red and blue dyes were added...
Dynamic Perspective on the Capillary Barrier Effect at the Interface of an Upper Fine Layer with a Lower Coarse Layer
The theoretical principles behind the determination of infiltration rate into a coarse layer overlain by a tight layer are reviewed. As a descending unsaturated wetting front hits the...
Stormwater Infiltration Design Based on Rainfall Statistics and Soil Hydraulics
When comparing stormwater infiltration with other methods for stormwater drainage an appropriate design procedure is necessary. The method proposed for future Danish guidelines is based...
Stormwater Management Practices in New Jersey?Suggestions for Improvements
The State of New Jersey, due to large population density and intensive development, has become a frontier in regulating the stormwater runoff. This paper presents an overview of current...
Furrow Irrigation Education
A furrow irrigation simulation computer model based on the volume-balance method is described. The model is used to develop information on furrow system performance that can be used in...
BASIN 2.0 for the Design of Level-Basin Irrigation Systems
The purpose of this paper is to present a computer program for the hydraulic design of level-basin irrigation systems. The first of three design modes provides design based on the advance...
Real Time Forecast of Landfill Leachate Flow
A computer model was written to describe the generation of landfill leachate due to large precipitation events. The landfill is described as a multi-layer system, each layer having its...
An Application of Nonhomogeneous Poisson Process in Sediment Infiltration Into Gravel Bed
The compound homogenous Poisson process (CNHPP) model (Shen & Todorovic, 1971 ) is found applicable in sediment infiltration into gravel bed due to the unsteady and nonuniform...
Management of Sewer System Rehabilitation for the Overflow Abatement Program in Nashville, Tennessee
To comply with a state order to abate overflows of wastewater from the sanitary sewerage system, the Nashville, Tennessee, Metropolitan Department of Water and Sewerage Services has undertaken...
Commuter Infiltration, The Unaddressed Issue
Traffic Impact Reports usually assign project-related traffic only to the adjacent collector and arterial highways. Usually the reports do not attempt to address possible commuter infiltration...
Stochastic Analysis of Seasonal Hydraulic Conductivity
Infiltration data collected by a ring infiltrometer tests, for summer, fall, and spring seasons, were used to determine hydraulic conductivity using Philip's two-term infiltration equation....
Simulation of Runoff and Infiltration of Disturbed Land
Disturbances of land due to human and natural causes change the porosity and hydraulic conductivity of the soil. A simulation model of conjunctive surface-subsurface flows can be used...
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....
