Lysimetry has been acknowledged in the literature as the most effective means of assessing
deep percolation rates through landfill final covers. Designing lysimeters requires several …

Lysimeters are considered the most appropriate instrument for assessing percolations rates
through landfill final covers. Their design, however, must take into consideration the …

One of the most challenging parameters to estimate in leachate generation quantification is
the percolation rate through a landfill cover. Since leachate generation is critical to …

Measurement of net percolation from the base of a cover system into the underlying waste
material is very often a key component of a cover system monitoring program. The units of …

Landfills are the most widely used facilities for solid waste disposal. Landfill covers are used
to reduce the quantity of water that infiltrates into solid waste landfills, isolate solid waste …

Measurement of the net percolation from the base of a cover system into the underlying
waste material is a key component of a cover system monitoring program. The units of …

Lysimeters are commonly used for field-scale assessment of water balance of earthen caps,
commonly referred to as evapotranspirative (ET) caps. While lysimeters are the only direct …

Temporal atmospheric pressure variations introduce an artifact into percolation
measurements in free‐draining lysimeters. This anomaly is associated with transient …

The infiltration component of the water budget in a soil cover layer is difficult to measure
under field conditions. Often, zero-tension (or pan) lysimeters are used for that purpose …

Lysimeters are a valuable tool to study the water household in soils under close to natural
conditions. One major drawback is that they are cut off at the lower boundary. This …
