  2. Vertisol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertisol

    Vertisols of the world A more detailed map of the global distribution of Vertisols. A vertisol is a Soil Order in the USDA soil taxonomy [1] and a Reference Soil Group in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB). [2] It is also defined in many other soil classification systems. In the Australian Soil Classification it is called ...

  3. Shrink–swell capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrink–swell_capacity

    Soils with this shrink-swell capacity fall under the soil order of Vertisols. [6] As these soils dry, deep cracks can form on the surface, which then allows water to penetrate to deeper levels of the soil. [7] This can cause the swelling of these soils to become cyclical, with periods of both shrinking and swelling.

  4. Expansive clay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansive_clay

    Expansive clay, also called expansive soil, is a clay soil prone to large volume changes (swelling and shrinking) directly related to changes in water content. [1] Soils with a high content of expansive minerals can form deep cracks in drier seasons or years; such soils are called vertisols.

  5. Water treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_treatment

    Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant, Washington, D.C. Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to make it appropriate for a specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including being safely returned to the environment.

  6. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

    Chemical water analysis is carried out on water used in industrial processes, on waste-water stream, on rivers and stream, on rainfall and on the sea. [1] In all cases the results of the analysis provides information that can be used to make decisions or to provide re-assurance that conditions are as expected.

  7. Humic substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humic_substance

    The presence of humic acid in water intended for potable or industrial use can have a significant impact on the treatability of that water and the success of chemical disinfection processes. For instance, humic and fulvic acids can react with the chemicals used in the chlorination process to form disinfection byproducts such as ...

  8. Coagulation (water treatment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation_(water_treatment)

    Coagulation-flocculation process in a water treatment system. In water treatment, coagulation and flocculation involve the addition of compounds that promote the clumping of fine floc into larger floc so that they can be more easily separated from the water. Coagulation is a chemical process that involves neutralization of charge whereas ...

  9. Argillipedoturbation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argillipedoturbation

    Argillipedoturbation, sometimes referred to as self-mulching, is a process of soil mixing caused by the shrinking and swelling of the smectite clays contained in soil. [1] [2] It is an effect specific to soils of the vertisolic variety, and is triggered by the constant cycles of wetting and drying [1] It is characterized by wide (up to 2 centimetres (0.79 in)), deep (50 centimetres (20 in) or ...
