Vadose Zone Monitoring
GSA has installed numerous automated vadose zone data acquisition systems in environments ranging from golf courses and agricultural fields to ephemeral drainage channels and mine waste cover systems. We specialize in designing custom monitoring systems to determine unsaturated flow in natural systems. Our vadose zone monitoring services include:
|
|
Design of in-situ monitoring systems to evaluate:
|
|
1.
|
Natural groundwater recharge rates
|
|
2.
|
Cover system performance efficiency
|
|
3.
|
Plant water use and evapotranspiration
|
|
4.
|
Soil-water-air dynamics
|
|
|
Design, testing and calibration of monitoring sensors
|
|
|
Development of calibrated unsaturated flow models to predict flow system dynamics
|
|
|
Training on operation, analysis, and maintenance of data acquisition systems.
