Transdisciplinary approaches that provide holistic views are essential to properly
understand soil processes and the importance of soil to society and will be crucial in the …

Karst systems have a high degree of heterogeneity and anisotropy, which makes them
behave very differently from other aquifers. Slow seepage through the rock matrix and fast …

The water retention curve (WRC) has become a key material function to define the
unsaturated behavior of soils and other particulate media. In many instances, it can be …

Briefly tracing the history of hydrologic modeling, this paper discusses the progress that has
been achieved in hydrologic modeling since the advent of computer and what the future may …

Freshwater connectivity and the associated flow regime are critical components of the health
of freshwater ecosystems. When freshwater ecosystems are fragmented, the movements …

Batch RO desalination is a new approach to high-recovery, energy-efficient desalination. So
far, however, batch RO has been tested mostly with pure sodium chloride solutions. An …

Infiltration is a key process in aspects of hydrology, agricultural and civil engineering,
irrigation design, and soil and water conservation. It is complex, depending on soil and …

In the present work, we have analysed the experimental data presented in literature to
characterize dispersion in porous media, at different dispersion regimes. The vast amount of …

Groundwater systems are intrinsically heterogeneous with dynamic temporal-spatial
patterns, which cause great difficulty in quantifying their complex processes, while reliable …

First published in 1995, the award-winning Civil Engineering Handbook soon became
known as the field's definitive reference. To retain its standing as a complete, authoritative …
