Likewise, the unsaturated zone because of diffusional losses to the atmosphere.
2.
In the unsaturated zone, the pore pressure is determined by tensiometers.
3.
Important parameters are the storage coefficient, as well as the capillarity of the unsaturated zone.
4.
In areas with sufficient precipitation, water infiltrates through pore spaces in the soil, passing through the unsaturated zone.
5.
The phreatic zone, below the phreatic surface where rock and soil is saturated with water, is the counterpart of the vadose zone, or unsaturated zone, above.
6.
It is not uncommon to see the capillary fringe treated as a boundary condition separating the water table from the unsaturated zone, without defining it as a significant part of either.
7.
Current work using this code includes simulation of methane hydrate formation, CO 2 sequestration, oil shale extraction, migration of both nuclear and chemical contaminants, environmental isotope migration in the unsaturated zone, and karst formation.
8.
The lower boundary of the unsaturated zone is the top of capillary fringe controlled by the local average ground water table derived from the catchment average water table and topographic soil index which include the spatial variability of the topographic and soil parameters.
9.
The "'vadose zone "', also termed the unsaturated zone, is the part of Earth between the land surface and the top of the phreatic zone, the position at which the groundwater ( the water in the soil's pores ) is at atmospheric pressure ( " vadose " is from the Latin for " shallow " ).
