Water regime of urbanized soils and grounds in the aeration zone in Rostov Velikii Town: Analysis of experimental data

Abstract

The most active and widespread negative anthropogenic processes in built-up territories is the underflooding and overmoistening of soils and grounds in the aeration zone. Prediction of water regime in aeration zone soils in Rostov Velikii Town, affected by many-century economic activity, is considered. The prediction procedure uses experimental data on hydrophysical soils properties. The results of parameterization and verification of moisture transport process in the aeration zone and the results of its calculation for years with different moisture content in different urban landscapes are given.
