Abstract Changes in the infiltration, drainage, soil-water characteristics and unsaturated
hydraulic conductivity were evaluated in field plots of a sandy loam soil irrigated with waters …

The effect of total electrolyte concentration (TEC) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of
irrigation water on unsaturated hydraulic properties, viz. unsaturated hydraulic conductivity …

The current book compiles and puts together information on extent and distribution of poor

Soil hydraulic conductivity depends on the composition of exchangeable cations and the
composition and concentration of the electrolytes in the soil solution as well as soil texture …

Soil water evaporation, redistribution of surface applied salts and unsaturated hydraulic
conductivity were determined in field plots of a silt loam soil kept either untilled or tilled to a …

Despite the development of new irrigation systems, surface irrigation is still one of the most
common irrigation methods owing to the low cost of initial investment, low energy supply …

Hydro-physical behaviour is described in terms of ability of the soil to retain, release and
transmit water within and across the soil system. The processes of infiltration, profile water …
