This field study constitutes an evaluation of resistivity surveys as a method of following subsurface water transport. An ABEM Terrameter LS was used to detect chloride enriched infiltrating water. A resistivity profile was established at a field site in Omma outside of Sjöbo, Sweden. The profile followed a slope starting atop a glacifluvial sand deposit […]

The search for sustainable sources of energy has found a realistic replacement to fossil fuels in ethanol and methanol. In response to this trend, sugarcane plantations have rapidly increased in Brazil. In this study, this sugarcane expansion was mapped for the River Grande basin in the northern São Paulo, considering the real extension of the […]

Tunisia is a country with limited water resources and is in need of irrigation to sustain the agriculture. Treated wastewater is used as an irrigation water source in some areas. The use of saline treated wastewater can lead to soil salinization which could pose a serious threat to the agriculture. A field study was performed […]

Utilizing passive floodwater harvesting for artificial recharge and spate irrigation in arid and semiarid areas is an opportunity to use marginal water to improve the livelihood of rural community. In the present study, groundwater modeling to estimate recharge, and field experiments for spate irrigation of barley, were carried out to investigate the performance and potential […]

Infiltration trenches are commonly applied for treatment of urban stormwater. However, the opinions whether their main purpose is to detain peak flows or to reduce pollutant loads of urban stormwater, are varying. In Sweden, there is also a lack of accurate data of the pollutant removal efficiencies and the results of the performed studies are […]
