Capillary rise experiments were performed in columns filled with glass beads and Berea sandstones, using visual methods to register the advance of the water front. For the glass-bead-filled columns, early time data is well fitted by the Washburn equation. However in the experiments, the...

Knowing the crop water uptake pattern and soil water movement within the root zone is important for the optimum design of irrigation and drainage systems. The objective of this study was to monitor the soil water redistribution within the potato root zone after irrigation and to quantify shallow...

The irrigation districts of the upper Yellow River basin are highly productive agricultural areas of North China. Due to the severe water scarcity, application of water-saving practices at both farm and district levels are required for sustainable agricultural development. An integrated...

Due to the increasing high rate of economic development and population, groundwater resources of Jiansanjiang in China are affected by both anthropogenic and natural factors. In order to achieve optimal local allocation of water resources and promotion of local economic development, a suitable...

<Para ID="Par1">The objective of this study was comparative study of artificial neural networks (ANN) and wavelet artificial neural networks (WANN) for time-series groundwater depth data (GWD) forecasting with various curve fractal dimensions. The paper offered a better method of revealing the change...</para>

This study is the first to develop food supply and demand projections over the 21st century for Uzbekistan by considering the combined effects of climate change and soil salinization. The study results suggest that rising summer temperatures and soil salinity will considerably reduce wheat...
