Title Investigation of Seepage Reduction by Soil-Water Chemical Reactions in Irrigation Canals
Creator Hernandez, Pedro A.
Date 1972-05-01
Coverage Paul 42.61, -113.78
Subject hydraulic conductivity; silt; canal seepage;
Description A procedure for estimating potential changes in the hydraulic conductivity of a silt layer in a canal was developed following McNeal's method for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of soils in the presence of mixed-salt solutions. The reason for using this method was to analyze the effect on seepage from the canal. A series of experiments on soil columns was conducted in order to determine the surface sealing effect by fine sediments and metabolic products of micro-organisms activity....
