  5. 44. Spatial distribution of hydraulic conductivity in the Rio Sucio drainage basin, Nicaragua : a minor field study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Magnus Eckeskog; [2006]
    Keywords : saturated hydraulic conductivity; physical geography; geography; geologi; geomorfologi; hydrologi; hydrogeologi; constant compact head permeameter; interpolering; geostatistik; mättad hydraulisk konduktivitet; GIS; geografi; naturgeografi; geostatistics; interpolation; hydrogeology; hydrology; geomorphology; geology; soil; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Vattendragen i Nicaraguas centrala bergsområden är utsatta för hög miljöpåverkan. I över hundra år har kvicksilver använts för att utvinna guld i dessa områden, vilket förorenat vattenresurserna. Det har gjorts få undersökningar av områdets vattenkvalité, vilket främst beror på avsaknaden av infrastruktur. READ MORE

  6. 45. The influence of land-use change, root abundance and macropores on saturated infiltration rate - a field study on Western Java, Indonesia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to examine the infiltration rate of water and some parameters affecting it. Especially the land usage, the abundance of roots and macropores were investigated. A field study was carried out on western Java in Indonesia, on the slope of Mount Salak. The study compared four different land uses; i. READ MORE
