    Estimate the evaporation and groundwater seepage rates for a material pile

    There is an ASTM for pan evaporation, but this is pore water so I would need to come up with some factor to related evaporation at depth to pan evaporation. I have looked into the pan evaporation rate, and if I apply it at its full value, I get that there is enough evaporation to completely...

    Estimate the evaporation and groundwater seepage rates for a material pile

    The material is classified as a silt based on USC, so I would not be able to drill holes smaller than the particle size. Also, I do not think this would provide me the information I am after (the seepage to groundwater). Even if I were able to measure the seepage through the bottom of the...

    Estimate the evaporation and groundwater seepage rates for a material pile

    I have a material that is piled and stored until it is dry enough to transport. I know the initial water content when it is placed and I know the water content when it is dry enough to transport, so I can estimate the amount of water lost by the pile as a whole while its drying. Conceptually...
