A mechanistic model was developed to simulate one-dimensional pesticide transport in two-stage vertical flow constructed wetland. The two pesticides taken under study were carbendazim and chlorothalonil. The water flow patterns within the constructed wet...

To counter the impacts of climate change and urbanization, engineers have developed ingenious solutions to reduce flooding and capture stormwater contaminants through the use of Low Impact Developments (LIDs). The soil is generally considered to be compl...

The process of how soil moisture profiles evolve into the soil and reach the root zone could be estimated by solving the appropriate strong nonlinear Richards? equation. The nonlinearity of the equation occurs because diffusivity D is generally an expone...

Water infiltration is simulated by obtaining the time infiltrated depth evolution and humidity profiles with the numerical solution of the two-dimensional Richards? equation. The contact time hypothesis is accepted in this study and used to apply a uniqu...

The protection of an unsaturated zone is essential for groundwater-quality security. Neglecting pollutant changes in the saturated zone can affect the accuracy of groundwater-quality assessments. Unlike water sampling, the nonreproducibility of soil samp...

The characterization of vadose zone processes is a primary goal for understanding, predicting, and managing water resources. In this study, the issue of soil water monitoring on a vertical profile in the small forested Strengbach catchment (France) is in...

Finite element discretization of the pressure head form of the Richards equation leads to a nonlinear model, which yields numerical convergence difficulties. When the numerical solution to this problem has either an extremely sharp moving front, infiltra...
