  2. Drainage equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_equation

    A drainage equation is an equation describing the relation between depth and spacing of parallel subsurface drains, depth of the watertable, depth and hydraulic conductivity of the soils. It is used in drainage design. Parameters in Hooghoudt's drainage equation. A well known steady-state drainage

  3. Acid mine drainage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_mine_drainage

    The chemistry of oxidation of pyrites, the production of ferrous ions and subsequently ferric ions, is very complex, and this complexity has considerably inhibited the design of effective treatment options. [6] Although a host of chemical processes contribute to acid mine drainage, pyrite oxidation is by far the greatest contributor.

  4. Drainage density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_density

    According to Montgomery and Dietrich’s equation, drainage density is a function of vertical hydraulic conductivity. Coarse-grained sediment like sand would have a higher hydraulic conductivity and are predicted by the equation to form a relatively higher drainage density system than a system formed by finer silt with a lower hydraulic ...

  5. Groundwater model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_model

    Spacing equations of subsurface drains and the groundwater energy balance applied to drainage equations [5] are examples of two-dimensional groundwater models. Three-dimensional models like Modflow [6] require discretization of the entire flow domain. To that end the flow region must be subdivided into smaller elements (or cells), in both ...

  6. Groundwater recharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_recharge

    Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process, where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater. Recharge is the primary method through which water enters an aquifer. This process usually occurs in the vadose zone below plant roots and is often expressed as a flux to the water table surface.

  7. Hydrological transport model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrological_transport_model

    River in Madagascar relatively free of sediment load. An hydrological transport model is a mathematical model used to simulate the flow of rivers, streams, groundwater movement or drainage front displacement, and calculate water quality parameters.

  8. Water balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_balance

    [2] [3] In hydrology, a water balance equation can be used to describe the flow of water in and out of a system. A system can be one of several hydrological or water domains, such as a column of soil, a drainage basin, an irrigation area or a city. The water balance is also referred to as a water budget. Developing water budgets is a ...

  9. Leaching model (soil) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaching_model_(soil)

    The downward limb of the leaching curves, as in figure 3, can be described with the leaching equation: [1] Ct = Ci + (Co - Ci) exp (-E L .T.Qp/Ws) where C = salt concentration, Ct = C in the soil at time T, Co = C in the soil at time T=0, Ci = C of the irrigation water, E L = leaching efficiency, Qp = average percolation rate through the soil ...
