  3. 2. Hydrogeological assessment of springs and groundwater in Carrizal, Costa Rica

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Markus Beckman; Jacob Sannum; [2020]
    Keywords : Hydrogeology; volcanic aquifer; Water balance analysis; MBR; Costa Rica; double ring infiltrometer; spring characteristics; minor field study.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The main purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of how hydrogeological conditions are affecting the local water resources in Carrizal on the Barva Volcano, Costa Rica. Hydrogeological investigations of spring characteristics, soil infiltration rates and water flow in springs and rivers were conducted at the study area in Costa Rica as part of a Minor Field Study (MFS).

  4. 3. Soil organic carbon and infiltrability in relation to distance from trees (Vitellaria paradoxa) with and without termite mounds in a parkland of central Burkina Faso

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Klara Hedemyr Joelsson; [2012]
    Keywords : Burkina Faso; parkland; agroforestry; trees ; Vitellaria paradoxa; termites; steady-state infiltrability; double-ring infiltrometer; bulk density; carbon content; macro-porosity;

    Abstract : In semi-arid Burkina Faso access to water is crucial for crop-growth. Most common cropping system in the region is parklands, where crops are grown in association with trees. READ MORE

  5. 4. Water infiltration in the Nyando River basin, Kenya

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Aida Bargues Tobella; [2009]
    Keywords : Lake Victoria basin; Nyando River basin; steady-state infiltrability; bulk density; erosion; gully; runoff; sediment generation rate; double-ring infiltrometer; rainfall simulator; trees; vegetation cover; agroforestry;

    Abstract : On-site and off-site effects of erosion in the Lake Victoria basin are some of the main contributors to the actual situation of poverty which is facing its population, one of the densest in the world. The Nyando River Basin (Western-Kenya) was identified as a regional erosion hotspot and one of the main sources of sediment and phosphorous into the Lake Victoria (ICRAF, 2001). READ MORE

  6. 5. Water infiltration under different land use in miombo woodlands outside Morogoro, Tanzania

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Helena Nord; [2008]
    Keywords : miombo; land use; management; infiltration capacity; steady state infiltrability; bulk density; soil organic carbon; agriculture; Albizia; double-ring infiltrometer; wet combustion;

    Abstract : Infiltration capacity is a measure of how much water that can enter the soil and hence become available to plant roots and micro organisms. A high infiltration capacity also means that less water is available for runoff and subsequent erosion. READ MORE
