  2. Watertable control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watertable_control

    Optimization of the depth of the water table is related to the benefits and costs of the drainage system (Figure 3). The shallower the permissible depth of the water table, the lower the cost of the drainage system to be installed to achieve this depth. However, the lowering of the originally too shallow depth by land drainage entails side ...

  3. Drainage research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_research

    A drainage system influences this depth; the relation between drainage system design and depth of water table is mainly physical and can be described by drainage equations, in which the drainage requirements are to be found from a water balance. [1] The depth of the water table as a criterion factor needs to be translated into a criterion index ...

  4. Water table - Wikipedia

    A plot of sugarcane yield versus depth of water table in Australia. The critical depth is 0.6 m. [4] [5] Most crops need a water table at a minimum depth. [6] For some important food and fiber crops a classification was made [7] because at shallower depths the crop suffers a yield decline. [8]

    Various sensors and sampling devices could be ported through the liner where they were pressed against the borehole). Mr. Carl Keller acquired the manufacturing rights to the system in 1995 and developed a version that could be deployed below the water table for depth-discrete groundwater monitoring.

  6. Drainage equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_equation

    the permissible long term average depth of the water table (Dw) on the basis of agricultural drainage criteria; the soil's hydraulic conductivity (Ka and Kb) by measurements; the depth of the bottom of the aquifer (Di) the design drain spacing (L) can be found from the equation in dependence of the drain depth (Dd) and drain radius (r ...

  7. Groundwater recharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_recharge

    Wetlands help maintain the level of the water table and exert control on the hydraulic head. [5] [6] This provides force for groundwater recharge and discharge to other waters as well. The extent of groundwater recharge by a wetland is dependent upon soil, vegetation, site, perimeter to volume ratio, and water table gradient.

  8. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(hydrology)

    Air line method is a convenient and nonintrusive method used to measure water levels that is often used for the repeated testing of wells over 300 feet deep. [13] This method obtains water table depth using a pressure gauge and water displacement. [14] Wetted tape method is a commonly-used method for measuring water levels up to roughly 90 feet ...

  9. Hydrological optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrological_optimization

    Hydrological optimization applies mathematical optimization techniques (such as dynamic programming, linear programming, integer programming, or quadratic programming) to water-related problems. These problems may be for surface water , groundwater , or the combination.
