1. Evaluation of Modern Irrigation Techniques with Brackish Water
Abstract : Modern irrigation techniques are becoming increasingly important in water-scarce countries especially in arid and semiarid regions. Higher crop production and better water use efficiency are usually achieved by drip irrigation as compared to other irrigation methods. READ MORE

2. Soil Erosion and Mass Movement in Agricultural Drainage Ditches
Abstract : Agricultural drainage ditches degrade over time. This degradation is often due to soil erosion, which can cause mass movement (bank failure) when the toe of the bank is eroded or the slope of the bank is too steep. Soil eroded or displaced by mass movement is either transported by the flowing water or deposited in the drainage ditch. READ MORE

3. Generation of Leachate and the Flow Regime in Landfills
Abstract : The environmental impacts of landfills are associated mainly with the emission of leachate and biogas. Sanitary landfilling aims to stabilize the landfill in a efficient and controlled way, so that the environmental impacts are minimized. When a sanitary landfill has attained its final storage quality, it can be integrated into the environment. READ MORE

4. Spatial variability of geogenic contaminants in drinking water sources : Insights into hydrogeological controls, geospatial data for safe water supply and groundwater resource management
Abstract : The presence of geogenic contaminants in drinking water is a major health concern in many parts of the world. The interaction of groundwater with different rock types and sediments in the natural geochemical environment play an important role in controlling their mobility. READ MORE

5. Unsaturated Solute Transport in a Semiarid Catchment - Nonlinear Analyses and Modelling
Abstract : Unsaturated solute transport is highly variable and therefore difficult to predict. In semi-arid areas, where water resources are limited, the presence of macropores is of great importance for crop production. The bromide ion (Br-) and dye tracers are useful for studies of water movement. READ MORE
