Theoretically, Hooghoudt's equation can also be used for sloping land. [8] The theory on drainage of sloping land is corroborated by the results of sand tank experiments. [9] In addition, the entrance resistance encountered by the water upon entering the drains can be accounted for. Definitions of drainage of sloping land and entrance resistance
The energy balance of groundwater flow can be applied to flow of groundwater to subsurface drains. [2] The computer program EnDrain [3] compares the outcome of the traditional drain spacing equation, based on Darcy's law together with the continuity equation (i.e. conservation of mass), with the solution obtained by the energy balance and it can be seen that drain spacings are wider in the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
According to the figure, the drainage period is from November to March (120 days) and the discharge of the drainage system is D = 180 / 120 = 1.5 mm/day corresponding to 15 m 3 /day per ha. During winters with more precipitation than normal, the drainage requirement increase accordingly.
Part 1 of the Philadelphia-centric crossover premiered on ABC Jan. 8 and saw the "It's Always Sunny" gang spar with the teachers at Abbott while volunteering to fulfill a community service ...
The main conclusion of the study was that the HBV model can be used to predict material transport on the scale of the drainage basin during stationary conditions, but cannot be easily generalised to areas not specifically calibrated. In a different work, Castanedo et al. applied an evolutionary algorithm to automated watershed model calibration.
