Use of the CREAMS (Chemicals, Runoff, and Erosion from Agricultural Management Systems) model to represent soil moisture under various trench cover designs for waste burial

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7132969
The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of CREAMS in conjunction with the tabular values for predicting soil water behavior in trench covers at semiarid sites. Two approaches are presented: the first approach uses the parameters for a given texture class; and the second approach bounds system behavior using a combinatin of maximum and minimum suggested parameters for a given texture class. In this case, the predicted water content values are expected to envelop the observed values thus providing the user with upper and lower limits for predictive pruposes. 9 refs., 3 figs.
