Root traits can be exploited to increase the physiological efficiency of crop water use under
drought. Root length, root hairs, root branching, root diameter, and root proliferation rate are …

Persistent droughts, population growth, and consequences of the climate change put
severeconstraints on agriculture in many Regions. This emergence can be ameliorated …

Steady flow toward a fully penetrating well takes place in a natural porous formation, where
the erratic spatial variations, and the raising uncertainty, of the hydraulic conductivity K are …

Unsteady flow generated by a point-like source takes place into a. In view of those
applications (pum** tests) aiming at the identification of the hydraulic properties of …

The objective of this article is to find the optimal trajectory of a pum** ship, used to clean

An elliptic partial differential equation with a singular forcing term, describing a steady state
flow determined by a pulse-like extraction at a constant volumetric rate, is approximated by a …

Accurate estimation of crop coefficients for evaporation and transpiration is of great
importance in optimizing irrigation and modeling water and solute transfers in the soil-crop …

The Richards equation has been widely used for simulating soil water movement. However,
the take-up of agro-hydrological models using the basic theory of soil water flow for …

The dependence of the soil water content ϑ upon the matric potential ψ is studied within a
fractal approach that regards the water retention curve as a sequence of well defined fractal …

Steady flow takes place into a three‐dimensional partially saturated porous medium where,
due to their spatial variability, the saturated conductivity Ks, and the relative conductivity Kr …
