Rivers are essential for loess deposit formation. River systems which relate directly to loess
deposit formation include the Danube and the Rhine; the Mississippi and the Missouri; the …

Morpho-tectonic study plays an important role in deciphering the effects of tectonic activity in
the geomorphic evolution of the drainage basins. Romushi watershed forms one of the …

The stages of landscape brought by Wainganga river cycle of erosion are precisely
characterized and determined by progressive returns of maximum relief ratio (above 70%) …

River basin planning is a systematic approach to the specific problems related to availability
and access to water for various purposes, and to simultaneously ensure the ecological …

Hydraulic parameters define the water retention, θ (ψ), and the unsaturated hydraulic
conductivity, K (θ), functions. These functions are usually obtained by fitting experimental …

Laboratory measurements to derive the soil water retention curve, θ ψ, are time consuming
and expensive. We present a cost-effective alternative using particle size distribution (PSD) …

Soil hydraulic properties play a primary role in water infiltration and movement, and transport
of nutrients and contaminants through the soil profile. However, the determination of soil …

Needs, definitions, and methods for assessing landscape aesthetic experience as an
ecosystem service within the New Zealand context are reviewed. Formal and transactional …

We developed a novel, lognormal, pore-scale, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity model, K
(ψ) M odel, which does not require saturated hydraulic conductivity, K s, as an input …

Dual-porosity models have been shown to improve models of soil–water movement and
enhance the water balance of structured soils. In this study we introduce novel, continuous …
