Suppressive effects of geotextiles on soil water evaporation
https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5253-8628
AbstractGeotextiles find wide applications in the field for filtration and drainage. When applied on the soil surface they influence soil evaporation. The objective of this work is twofold: (a) to assess the effectiveness of four different geotextiles as cover materials on soil evaporation, (b) to study the combined effect of geotextile and perforated mechanical barriers on soil evaporation. The first set of experimental programs consisted of three soil samples i.e. kaolin, dredged mud from the port of Brisbane and a locally obtained red mud sample from Queensland, Australia tested with four types of non-woven geotextiles under four controlled climatic conditions. All the 4 geotextiles had suppression effects on soil evaporation to degrees that varied with the type of soil, ratio of pore size to thickness of geotextiles (M*), product of pore size to thickness of the geotextiles (N*) and climatic conditions. Geotextiles with a higher pore size (O95) and M* allowed water vapor to move through relatively easily leading to higher evaporation rates. Geotextile with a higher thickness and N* value provided a higher suppression effect on soil evaporation. In a recently introduced dewatering method involving perforated ventilated well method, evaporation from soil take place through geotextiles and the perforated well. Mimicking this, impacts on soil evaporation with geotextiles sandwiched between soil sample and perforated sections were also studied. Maintaining similar number and arrangement of the perforations, soil evaporation was noted to be higher with rectangular shaped perforation compared to circular shaped perforations.
