Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. To examine particle migration from the rootzone layer into underlying gravels of increasing size in situations where no intermediate layer is present. 2. To assess the effects of different intermediate and drainage layers on moisture retention in the rootzone layer. 3. To review the particle size criteria for the selection of intermediate layer and drainage layer materials." States that "for two layered profiles, constructed in 300 mm diameter columns under laboratory conditions, increases in the size of the underlying gravel caused a slight increase in water retention in the rootzone after gravitational drainage." Also, "based on the results, it is proposed that in two layered profiles criteria for the bridging factor between the rootzone layer and the drainage layer should be relaxed. Furthermore, the amount of material between 0.25 mm and 1.0 mm within the intermediate layer can be increased when three layered profiles are used." This two-year study began in 1996. |
