The value of hydraulic conductivity (K) has considerable theoretical and practical significance for the water economy of soils and plants. Measurements of hydraulic conductivity conducted for peat soils in the process of soil monolith drying and wetting indicated the occurrence of capillary hysteresis in the soils under study. Data presented in the paper may indicate that the phenomenon is directly affected by the physical-hydraulic properties of the soils. The hysteresis loop surface areas determined in the study may be insufficient to fully reflect the true situation as there is a lack of measurements of the soil water potential in the zone close to full saturation. Values of the surface area calculated according to statistical methods differ from values calculated according to Brooks and Corey’s formulae. A significant factor affecting the difference is the value of effective conductivity (Kₑ) which is one half of the conductivity at full saturation (Ks).
Water permeability of moderately wet soils, i.e., their unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and water diffusivity are seldom measured directly, yet are often needed by numerical models to simulate transport processes. These functions can be evaluated from steady state water content and temperature profiles in heat pipes - closed columns of uniformly moistened soil subjected to temperature gradient. For such systems Sw = DT/D(θ) = -dθ/dT where Sw is the thermogradient coefficient, DT is the thermal water diffusivity, D(θ) is isothermal water diffusivity and dθ/dT is the rate of change of water content with temperature deduced from steady state profiles of θ(x) and T(x), x - is the distance from one of column ends. DT varies in a relatively narrow range and can be assumed as a constant.Then D(θ) can be estimated as DTSw where Sw is measured in various locations along soil columns. Using water retention data, the steady water content profile can be procedure for estimating D(θ) can then be applied to estimate hydraulic conductivity, K(θ). Soil columns ranging in length from 5 to 10 cm, exposed to thermal gradients of l°C/cm for periods as short as 7 d, at initial suction values ranging from 1 to 1.5 MPa, can be used to estimate D and K with uncertainties of factor of five or less in the suction range from 0.03 to 3 Mpa.
A number of factors are known to influence the hydraulic conductivity (K) of soils. While a large number of laboratory and field methods have been developed over the years, most of them are applicable mainly for the measurement of hydraulic properties in saturated soils. Moreover, those methods omit such factors affecting hydraulic conductivity as soil volume changes (swelling or shrinkage) and external load simulating the location of the soil tested. The purpose of this paper is to present direct and simple methods for estimation of hydraulic properties, mainly conductivity of unsaturated soils. The methods proposed are based on evaluation of soil-water potential and water outflow from a soil sample. The test methods allow the 1- and 3-dimensional stress states of the soil and pore-fluid to be monitored. The procedure allows also to monitor the changing soil moisture using the TDR technique. The modified apparatus (triaxial apparatus, consolidometer and tempe pressure cell), soils and procedures are described first, and then the results of tests are presented and reviewed. Interpretation of test results is made using the Multi-step method. Results obtained showed that the stress states simulating the location of soil affected the hydraulic parameters significantly. The test results confirmed the usefulness of the methods proposed for testing the porous medium with the geometrical changes of soil (swelling/shrinkage) considered.
The heterogeneity of both unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and water retention was measured with a high spatial resolution on a transect using an evaporation method. Fifteen undisturbed 100 cm 3 soil cores were taken on a transect every 10 cm from the topsoil of a water repellent sandy site. Five dynamic water retention curves and four unsaturated conductivity curves were determined for each core. We conducted measurements without further saturation in the laboratory in order to achieve field-like conditions. The initial water contents were hetero- geneous, indicating different hysteretic conditions and water repellent areas. The scattering of the water retention curves was high, while the heterogeneity of unsaturated conductivity curves was unexpectedly low. Two scaling approaches were used to describe the heterogeneity: one with and one without considering hysteresis. The concept of scaling applies well to describing the heterogeneity of both hydraulic functions. Including hysteresis leads to similar results than excluding hysteresis. The distribution of the hydraulic conductivity and the water retention were inde- pendent from each other. The results give important information for numerical simulation of the water flow with heterogeneous hydraulic functions.
The hydraulic conductivity of zero-valent iron treatment zone of permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) may be decreased by reducing the porosity caused by gas production and solids precipitation. The study was undertaken in order to evaluate the influence of chloride and heavy metals on the hydraulic conductivity of ZVI and nZVI using hydraulic conductivity tests as well as continuous column tests. Results show that the lead retention in the solution had no impact for hydraulic conductivity in ZVI sample, on the other hand the calculated hydraulic conductivity losses in nZVI sample (from 4.10·10–5 to 2.30·10–5 m·s–1) were observed. Results also indicate that liquids containing the mixture of heavy metals may cause signifi cant decrease in hydraulic conductivity (from 1.03·10–4 to 1.51·10–6 m·s–1). During the column tests, several number of clogging of the reactive material caused by iron hydroxides precipitation was observed over the course of injection of heavy metals solution. In contrast, the hydraulic conductivity of ZVI and nZVI is unaffected when they are permeated with chloride ions solution (k = 1.03·10–4 m·s–1). Finally, the results indicate the need to take account of changes in the hydraulic conductivity of reactive materials for successful implementation of PRBs technology.
The knowledge of hydraulic conductivity in unsaturated zone K(h) has a great theoretical and practical importance for soil water balance. The existing measurement methods of that parameter are rather complicated, so increasing interest appears in alternative, calculation methods. The article presents the results of laboratory tests of hydraulic conductivity of selected samples of peat soils, by dried monoliths method, and their comparison with calculated values obtained by Van Genuchten's formula with Mualem, Burdine and Brutsaert variation.
