Physical Evaluation of a Buried Drainage System
The drainage problem in the 600,000 acre (1. 5 million ha) Westlands Water District (District), located in the Central San Joaquin Valley in California is that of a perched saline groundwater...
Effects of Streambed Processes on Interaction Between Surface and Groundwater
In open channel systems, the phenomena commonly referred to as 'clogging' is caused by settling of sediment and straining of suspended material as water moves...
Time Rated Infiltrated Depth Families
A new set of infiltration families has been developed, for 'normal' soils to describe cumulative infiltrated depth versus time. This new family of curves is described...
Streamflow Losses in the Santa Cruz River, Arizona
The discharge and volume of flow in a peak decrease as the peak moves through an 89-mile (143 km) reach of the Santa Cruz River. An average of three peaks per year flow the length of the...
