   Keywords : Rainwater Infiltration; Alluvial Plain; Chocaya Basin; Hydraulic Conductivity; Double Ring Infiltrometer DRI ; Hydrus-1D; Electrical Resistivity Tomography ERT ; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The objective of this study was to assess the rainwater infiltration process in the unsaturated zone in an alluvial plain. Particularly, this study is focused on the Chocaya basin in central Bolivia. READ MORE

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. Quantifying relationships between X-ray imaged macropore structure and hydraulic conductivity

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Muhammad Arslan Ahmad; [2016]
   Keywords : critical pore diameter; modelling; pedotransfer functions; physics based approaches; SoilJ; 3-D visualization; soil characterization;

   Abstract : Computer based simulation models which estimate hydraulic properties of soil usually make use of statistical approaches such as multiple regressions that relate hydraulic properties to widely measured soil properties like textural fractions, organic matter content and bulk density. The problem is that hydraulic properties are usually only weakly correlated to these properties, because it is more strongly dependent on the characteristics of larger pores in the soil. READ MORE

5. 4. Spatial variation of infiltration properties in Paria, Oruro, Bolivia

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Martin Rosén; [2015]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Water is necessary for all life and one of the most important natural resources. The water resources problems were the reason why the project Development of the Altiplano area in Bolivia: a collaboration between Lund University (Sweden) and San Andres University in La Paz (Bolivia) was started.

6. 5. Measuring soil infiltrationrates in cultivated land : A case study of Ifakara, Tanzania

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Maja Hemlin Söderberg; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : An increased global food demand requires an increase in agricultural land use, which in turn affects the hydrologic cycle. A central process in this regard is infiltration of rainfall through the land surface. While there are standard values available for different soil types, land cover also has a documented influence on infiltration rates. READ MORE
