Apple trees consume a large amount of water, causing soil desiccation which reduces the
land quality in the Loess Plateau. The development of efficient water-saving irrigation …

In the past decades, there has been an increase in traffic volumes and loads on pavement
roads. Thus, there has been a need to enhance the properties of road pavements using …

A subsurface irrigation system with ceramic emitters (SICE) without a pump has been
developed to limit energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Yet whether …

Improvement of agricultural practices under limited water availability is a key solution for arid
and semi-arid areas food shortage problems. Pressurized irrigation technologies have made …

Water, a limited resource in most parts of the world, has always been a threat to arid and
semi-arid zones. Using the sub-irrigation method with the clay capsule technique is one of …

Fissures and paleosols are important factors affecting the slope stability of loess. However,
the mechanism of water and air migration in the unsaturated zone of loess induced by …

A subsurface porous pipe irrigation system has been widely used, water seeps from the
porous pipe into the soil. Such systems can carry out both conveyance and seepage in the …

We investigated the conceptual capability of Moistube irrigation (MTI) to discharge under
zero applied positive pressure and under varied climatic conditions by inducing an artificial …

A clay capsule is one of the porous pipes in a sub-irrigation system that can release water
near the root zone. This paper has attempted to improve the physical and hydraulic …
