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...

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...

Radon Entry & Control Versus Indoor Dynamics
The measurements of air infiltration, interzonal transport and exfiltration as the diagnostic procedures have been significantly influential in the selection, implementation and evaluation...

Pressure Differences Affecting Radon Entry in New Residential Construction
Various conditions in a house can commonly produce house negative pressures up to 20 Pascals relative to the soil gas pressure. Depressurization of the house relative to the soil gas will...

Estimation of Infiltration Rates from a Landfill
The Landfill Source Model (LSM) provides a physically-based, computationally efficient estimate of leachate emanating from a landfill. The model is PC-based and simulates a number of surface...

The MSU Sprinkling Infiltrometer: A Device to Measure Time-to-Ponding
Time-to-ponding can be determined quickly and with minimal disturbance to the soil surface by the use of a sprinking infiltrometer developed at Michigan State University (MSU). Solenoid...

Infiltration of Water to the Ground in a Flood-Control Reservoir with Seepage
As storm water management in urban area with increasing amount of runoff, flood-control reservoir with the bed having large permeability to enrich the groundwater is considered. A dynamical...

Infiltration Trenches for Urban Runoff Control
A two-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the transient flow in a variably saturated porous medium for the study of infiltration trenches. Parameters such as...

Sewer Rehabilitation?Metro Chicago
After a number of public hearings in the late 1960's and early 1970's which focused on sewer backup problems in the Sanitary District's separate...

Successful Rehabilitation of Sewers at Hawaii Kai
Two common problems in sanitary sewer deterioration are hydrogen sulfide attack to concrete pipe and structures and infiltration leakage into the system. Within the 100 miles (160 km)...

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Results From Stege Sanitary District
Seven sewer agencies, including Stege Sanitary District, in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area embarked on a 20-year capital improvement program in 1987. The 300 million construction...

Use of In-Place Lateral Reconstruction for Correction of Infiltration/Inflow
Extensive sewer collection system rehabilitation programs have done much and will continue to correct infiltration/inflow problems. However, re-evaluation of some of the earlier projects...
