Description

Systematic characterization of alluvial sediment physical properties through grain size analysis and bulk density measurements to derive hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and van Genuchten parameters for unsaturated flow modeling.

Typical Equipment

  • soil sampling tools
  • grain size analysis equipment

Output Measurements

  • hydraulic conductivity
  • porosity
  • residual water content
  • saturated water content
  • van Genuchten parameters
