Evaluating Innovative Nutrient Management Options and Seasonal Groundwater Recharge Dynamics in an Agricultural Source Water Protection Area
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-28)This thesis presents two interrelated studies that consider nutrient management and seasonal changes in recharge on agricultural lands within the context of source water protection. The research focuses first on the ... -
A field study of event based, seasonally affected, depression focused recharge in glaciated terrain
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-26)To observe the dynamics of depression focused recharge (DFR) and the effects of seasonality related to transient surface water features, a field scale experiment was designed and conducted within glacial terrain in southern ... -
The influences of spatially variable rainfall and localized infiltration on groundwater recharge in a water management context
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-27)Water management involves monitoring, predicting, and stewarding the quality and quantity of groundwater recharge at the watershed scale. Recharge sustains baseflow to streams and replenishes water extracted by pumping at ... -
Macropore flow and transport dynamics in partially saturated low permeability soils
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-11)Near-surface sediments play an important role in governing the movement of water and contaminants from the land surface through the vadose zone to groundwater. Generally, low permeability surficial soils restrict water ...
