Webinar: The fight against runoff – a study of hydrology applications
Hydraulic conductivity used to be a measurement reserved for those with ample technical expertise, time, and resources for the arduous measurement process.
The accurate, automated measurements of the SATURO and KSAT make it easier than ever for non-specialists to understand the infiltration properties of the soil impacting their project. In this 30-minute webinar, research scientist Leo Rivera explores applications where the measurement of hydraulic conductivity is making a huge impact, including:
Studying the risk of landslides, mudslides, and flash floods that frequently occur after wildfires
Engineering designs for low impact development
Designing systems for better infiltration, minimizing runoff into urban drainage systems
Studying the impacts of land management on soil hydraulic properties and soil health
