Non-destructive monitoring of soil water content (W ) and the electrical conductivity of the soil solution (ECw) has been desired for environmen tal evaluation and sustainable agriculture. Dielectric… (More)
Because an array ground penetrating radar (GPR) electrically switches any antenna combinations sequentially in milliseconds, both common-offset gather (COG) and multi-offset gather (MOG) data can be… (More)
Evaporation from the soil surface is a major cause of the salinization of irrigated soils in arid and semiarid regions. To optimize irrigation scheduling under saline conditions, it is essential to… (More)
The main problem facing farmers in the Nile Delta is water shortages at the ends of irrigation networks and canals. These problems have worsened as water demands have increased. Egypt’s Ministry of… (More)
Soil degradation resulting from accelerated water and wind-induced erosion is a serious problem in drylands, and will remain so throughout this century. The detachment and transport of soil particles… (More)
In order to find the optimal running conditions and mechanisms of ammonia removal through a soil trench system that is designed for treating pretreated methane fermentation effluent, a soil column… (More)
A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system based on a ground-coupled, densely populated antenna array was used to collect data during an infiltration experiment conducted at a test site near the Tottori… (More)
Dielectric soil moisture sensors have the potential for nondestructive and real-time monitoring of the stem water content (qst) of living trees. This study was conducted to investigate the water use… (More)
Numerical models of crop response to irrigation and weather forecasts with internet access should be fully utilized in modern irrigation management. In this respect, we developed a new numerical… (More)
A water harvesting system with ditches filled with highly permeable materials that has potential to reduce soil water evaporation has been proposed. Laboratory experiments were carried out using a… (More)
