TRANSCRIPT
Provides a concrete image of thewater flow phenomena in soilsThe new edition of a bestseller, Water Flows in Soils bridges thefields of soil physics—where descriptions of water flow tend to bemicroscopic—and hydrology—where they tend to be macroscop-ic. Unlike other physics laden texts, this work conveys the funda-mental concepts of water flow in soils with clear and essentiallynonmathematical explanations. Using abundant illustrations, fig-ures, and equations, the author introduces soil water flow, takingboth a phenomenological and analytical approach. He elegantlyelucidates the basic and advanced principles of water movement insoils.
See what’s new in the Second Edition:• Revised information on the inverse analyses of infiltration and
water flow in deep soils
• Up-to-date subjects relating to fingering flows
• Ponding times of slopes
• Water flow under temperature gradients in fields and in opensoil columns
• Recent experimental and theoretical progress in the effects ofmicrobiological factors on water flow in soils
• Topics such as the detection of subsurface water flow using222Rn in paddy field and zero flux plane analysis in uplandfields
• Non-similar media concept and its extension intounsaturated soils
• Examples and appendices that increase understanding of thetopics
More than 750 figures, tables, and equations provide a concreteimage of the water flow phenomena in soils. Tightly focused andpacked with examples, the book is a practical resource for gradu-ate students of agricultural and environmental engineering, andresearchers in soil physics.
