Qualifying the Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity and Corresponding Infiltration Processes

Alakayleh, Zuhier (2019-12-05)

Many engineering systems such as the hydraulic barriers and infiltration practices are designed based on the understanding of water infiltration through the subsurface. Among the soil hydraulic properties, the saturated ...

Quantifying Flow and Sediment Yield of an Ungauged Catchment using a Combination of Continuous Soil Moisture Accounting and Event-based Curve Number Method

Tamang, Sagar (2017-08-17)

A serious aggradation problem has been identified in the Soapstone branch, a tributary to Little Choctawhatchee River. A study of historical aerial imageries shows deforestation of the catchment by a significant amount in ...

Rainfall Simulator Construction and Evaluation of Erosion Control Practices

Manning, Christin (2021-12-03)

This thesis addresses the performance of erosion control products using the Auburn University Stormwater Research Facility ASTM D6459 rainfall simulators. Five products were tested for the ALDOT project Evaluation of ALDOT ...

Scour Potential of Cohesive Soils

Walker, Melvin (2013-05-13)

Determination of erosion parameters in order to predict scour depth is imperative to designing safe, economic, and efficient bridge foundations. Scour behavior of granular soils is generally understood, and design criteria ...

Sequestration of Cadmium Using Stabilized Iron-based Nanoparticles and Removal of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Using Ion Exchange Resins and Photo-regenerable Adsorbent

Tian, Shuting (2021-11-29) ETD File Embargoed

Over years, I have been involved in several research projects that are highly cross-disciplinary. As such, the dissertation encompasses sequestration of cadmium (Cd) in contaminated water and soil using novel stabilized ...

Simulations of watershed response to land use and climate change in the Saugahatchee Creek Watershed using the WARMF model

Shrestha, Sushban (2011-07-28)

During recent years, land surfaces have been markedly transformed with artificial land cover limiting natural forests, accompanied by urbanization. The atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases is believed to be ...

Study of Ice Jam Events on Missouri River During the Winter Seasons

Bhattarai, Nikit (2022-08-05)

Rivers are hugely affected by river ice processes for a significant portion of the year causing river ice jams in Northern rivers such as the Missouri River in Montana. Ice jamming is an accumulation of ice in a river, ...

Surface and Subsurface Transport of Phosphorus from Surface and Subsurface-applied Poultry Litter

Lamba, Jasmeet (2009-11-30)

A plot scale experiment was conducted in a pasture at the Sand Mountain region of north Alabama, USA. Nine plots of 1.52 m by 3.05 m were constructed with sheet metal borders to isolate runoff. The soil was a Hartsells ...

An UHPLC-MS/MS Quantitative Method for Trace Analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Environmental Media from Alabama Estuaries

Liu, Lan (2018-04-27)

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) comprise a large group of anthropogenic industrial compounds that are highly persistent due to their chemical structure. Because of the wide use of PFASs in textile manufacturing, ...

Understanding and Estimating Travel Times of Overland Flows on Planes

KC, Manoj (2014-04-23)

Estimating travel time of overland flow is one of the important studies in hydrology. A quasi-two-dimensional overland flow model (OFM) with the options of dynamic, diffusion, and kinematic wave approximation integrated ...

Understanding Unsteady Flow and Modeling Water Quality Dynamics in the Coastal Systems under Various Hydrological and Climate Scenarios

Devkota, Janesh (2014-05-12)

Three dimensional hydrodynamic Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) model was used to simulate flow, temperature, dye, age of tracer, and salinity in the Alabama coastal systems. The study area Perdido Bay and Wolf Bay ...

Understanding Unsteady Flow Dynamics, Temperature, and Dye Distributions of Density Currents in a River-Reservoir System under Different Upstream Releases and Meteorological Scenarios

Chen, Gang (2016-05-05)

Three dimensional hydrodynamic Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) model was applied to simulate flow, temperature and dye distributions in the river-reservoir system. The study is in a river-reservoir system (124.2 ...

Water Balance Analysis Using WARMF in Support of an EFDC Hydrodynamic Model

Weems, Thomas (2013-07-11)

An Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) model was previously developed for Bankhead Reservoir, located in northwest Alabama. The EFDC model inaccurately predicted water surface elevations in the reservoir, due to sources ...
