Predicting infiltration and surface runoff from reconstructed spoils and soils. Research report Oct 80-Apr 83
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5856625
A laboratory system was fabricated to measure infiltration and runoff from spoil and soil profiles constructed in rectangular bins. Construction, calibration and operation of a rainfall simulator is discussed and instrumentation used to measure transient infiltration and transmittance of water through experimental profiles is described. Spoil and soil materials from surface mines in Eastern and Western Kentucky were transported to the laboratory and used in constructing experimental profiles in rectangular bins. An extensive series of infiltration experiments were conducted utilizing a rainfall simulator and soil moisture monitoring instrumentation.
