Soil-Water Interactions: Mechanisms Applications, Second Edition, Revised Expanded

by Shingo Iwata

Overview

Emphasizing pioneering achievements, this work offers a clear and systematic description of various soil-water phenomena and their applications to soil problems such as water retention and the flux of water in soils and clays. This second edition contains material on the physical properties of adsorbed water, the application of fractal theory to solute and water flows in field soils, fingering research, and more.

Irrigation Science

Combining a quantitative, mathematical analysis of the mechanisms of soil-water interactions with a physicochemical description of such processes, this volume offers a systematic overview of various soil- water phenomena and their application to soil problems such as water retention and the flux of water in soils and clays. Drawing on the Japanese and Russian literature as well as English-language research papers, this revised and expanded edition contains new material on the physical properties of absorbed water, the application of fractal theory to solute and water flows in field soils, fingering research, the heterogeneity of hydraulic conductivity and how to handle it, and solute movement in field soils, including experimental and theoretical results with convection-dispersion equations.
