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
Example of a surface water balance: An example is given of surface runoff according to the Curve number method. [3] The applicable equation is: Osu = (Rai – Ws) 2 / (Pp – Ws + Rm) where Rm is the maximum retention of the area for which the method is used Normally one finds that Ws = 0.2 Rm and the value of Rm depends on the soil ...
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 ...
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 ...
An example of a criterion factor is the depth of the water table: A drainage system influences this depth; the relation between drainage system design and depth of water table is mainly physical and can be described by drainage equations , in which the drainage requirements are to be found from a water balance .
An example of these efforts was developed at the Southeast Water Laboratory, [19] one of the first attempts to calibrate a surface runoff model with field data for a variety of chemical contaminants. The attention given to surface runoff contaminant models has not matched the emphasis on pure hydrology models, in spite of their role in the ...
[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 ...
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 ...
