Water Flow In Soils

by Tsuyoshi Miyazaki

Overview

The new edition of a bestseller, Water Flow in Soils bridges the fields of soil physics-where descriptions of water flow tend to be microscopic- and hydrology - where they tend to be macroscopic. Unlike other physics laden texts, this work conveys the fundamental concepts of water flow in soils with clear and essentially nonmathematical explanation

Editorial Reviews

Bridges the gap between hydrology and soil physics by examining soil water flow in laboratories and in the field and providing nonmathematical explanations. Discusses such topics as the fundamental concept of water flow in uniform soils, in slopes, and in deep zones; preferential flows such as bypassing, funnelling, and fingering; the influence of temperature gradients, including thermally induced flows; and the effects of microbiology and the physical properties of the soil. For graduate students of agriculture and engineering and researchers in soil physics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
