A profile probe (PP) is a handy instrument for simultaneously measuring volumetric water
content (θ) at shallow multiple depths in the field. The accuracy of the θ measurement is …

Accurate measurement of volumetric water content (θ) is essential for studying soil-water
interaction efficiently. The accuracy of various types of θ measuring sensors needs to be …

Water balance covers for landfill closure are used as a barrier which act with the natural
processes to reduce percolation. The ideal performance of water balance cover is …

The hydrologic performance of evapotranspiration (ET) cover system for waste containment
is significantly influenced by the hydraulic characteristics of cover soil such as saturated …

The objective of this study is to estimate multiple-cycles of the soil-water characteristic curve
(SWCC) using an innovative volumetric pressure plate extractor (VPPE), which is …

A 30 m long× 20 m wide capillary barrier cover (CBC) test site was constructed at the
Jiangcungou landfill in Xi'an, China. The cover consisted of a compacted loess layer with a …

Final cover system for landfill closure is one of the most significant components of a landfill.
Recently, water balance cover systems, also referred to as evapotranspiration (ET) cover for …

Evapotranspiration (ET) landfill covers are an emerging final cover system in contrast to the
widely implemented conventional practice for landfill closure. Performance of an ET cover …

One of the main purposes of landfill cover system is to prevent the water infiltration into the
waste mass and eventually minimize the generation of leachate. In this effort, the most …

The multi-layered cover systems (MLCS) are usually constructed over near surface
hazardous landfills to isolate waste from the atmosphere. The existing design and …
