As a critical factor of the groundwater balance, the deeper percolation rate plays
an essential role in determining sustainable yields for groundwater resources,
especially in water managements for consecutive drought years. Although, there are
many methods to estimate deeper percolation, investigation of deeper percolation
somehow remains a challenging task. Hence, the paper focused on to explore deep
percolation characteristics of three soil type utilizing Richard’s function (Hydrus 1D)
and observed soil moisture via field moisture sensors. The maximum deep percolation
rate of sand clay loam, sand clay, and clay are estimated to be 4.5 mm/day, 3.5
mm/day, and 2.4 mm/day, respectively. The annual percolation ratios of sand clay
loam, sand clay, and clay are 0.34, 0.27 and 0.04, respectively. The average monthly
percolation rates of sand clay loam, sand clay, and clay vary 2-4.5 mm/day, 1.5-3.5
mm/day, and 0.5-2 mm/day, respectively with the rainfall intensity of 4-14 mm/day.
The experiment gave an insight on deeper percolation characteristics as well as
potential land recharge from rainfall utilizing soil moisture approach for future
groundwater balance evaluation
The surface soil moisture content (SSMC) is of great importance to the discipline of hydrology as well as to the other relevant studies and applications. Pioneer studies have pointed out that the most promising technique to retrieve SSMC regarding to accuracy and cost-effective belongs to the micro-wave remote sensing. By means of field observed SSMC dataset collected from the Yihe watershed located on the Linyi district, Shangdong province, China, we analyzed and validated the daily AMER-E SSMC products for the year of 2006 with the focus to examine the products quality of AMER-E SSMC for further studies by using the products. The results suggested that the temporal variation trend of AMER-E remotely sensed SSMC is reasonably consistent to the field observed, but is systematic lower than the ground truth in value in the whole year. The correspondence of AMSR-E SSMC product is significant enough compared with the field observed for the whole year except of the month of July and August.
Runoff is one of the most significant hydrological variables used in most of the water resources applications. Physiographically the area is characterized by undulating topography with plains and valleys. The Soil Conservation Service Curve Numbers also known as hydrologic soil group method were used in this study. This method is adaptable and suitable approach for quick runoff estimation and is approximately easy to use with minimum data and it gives good result. From the study yearly rainfall and runoff were estimated easily. The study area covers an area of 466.02 km2, having maximum length of 36.5 km. The maximum and minimum elevation of the basin is 569 m and 341 m above MSL, respectively.

GIS has become a key source to understand the hydrological conditions of watersheds for the last few decades. Arc Hydro tool of ArcGIS has been proven its role in the automated extraction of drainage network and morphometric analysis from DEMs. The delineation of drainage network can be done either manually from topographic sheets or derived from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data by means of computational methods. In the present work, ASTER DEM has been incurred to extract drainage network with the aid of Arc hydro tool. The Vaishali River basin of Madhya Pradesh has been taken as the study area. This study has been done primarily based on a geo-spatial software ARC GIS in which ARC HYDRO a tool has been used extensively. The quantitative evaluation and analysis of about twenty morphometric parameters has been done based on the linear, areal and relief aspects. The analysis has revealed that the Vaishali River basin is a fifth order basin showing dendritic drainage pattern with drainage density of 0.40 per km and stream frequency of 0.08 per km2. Low drainage density indicates the basin has not been much affected by structural disturbances while drainage frequency and very coarse drainage texture specifies low relief and porous, permeable rocks beneath the ground surface. The form factor, circularity ratio and elongated ratio suggest the basin shape as elongated. The area has low to moderate relief and slopes displays moderate relief ratios. It is concluded that this technique is not only reduces time but also provides valuable results which are very helpful for watershed management studies.

Effect of Air Relative Humidity Harvest on Soil Moisture Content under Morocc...IJERA Editor
In this work, we aim to analyse the effect of the harvest of air relative humidity on soil water content. Some experiments were conducted on hilly areas with various hypsographic and microclimatic conditions greatly affecting daily fluctuations of air relative humidity. The metrological data’s were obtained by using a Campbell Scientific equipments station recorder on data loggers every half hour. Time Domain Reflectometers (TDR) is used for calculating water content at different soil layers. The effect of many parameters such as: minimal and maximal air atmospheric humidity, potential of soil water and minimal temperature of air on harvesting air relative humidity is also discussed. The experimental results indicate that soil moisture content in the upper soil layer fluctuates with the same manner to diurnal fluctuation of relative air humidity. These fluctuations due to the harvest of relative air humidity decreased with increasing soil depth and daily amplitude of relative air humidity. The water adsorbed according to this phenomenon increased with increasing maximal relative and decreasing minimal temperature. The contribution of this soil water collected is about 40% of losses due to evaporation process. The correlation between principal climatic data and soil water adsorption by harvest relative air humidity is presented in this paper in order to incorporate it in the total water balance during water infiltration.
Remote Sensing & GIS based drainage morphometryAkshay Wakode
Remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) techniques are increasingly being used for morphometric analysis of drainage basins throughout the world. GIS facilitates the manipulation and analysis of spatial information obtained using remote sensing. Integrating GIS and RS provides an efficient mechanism not only to upgrade and monitor morphometric parameters but also to permit spatial analysis of other associated thematic database. As compared to the conventional morphometric studies, remote sensing provides extant ground reality inputs for assessing changes in drainage patterns, density soil characteristics and land-use/land form changes in real life. Morphometry by and large, affects the hydrological processes rather indirectly through their dependency on several other factors such as soil, geology, vegetation cover and climate (Schmidt et al. 2000). The interrelationship between morphometric parameters varies from basin to basin under diverse topography and climatic condition. Understanding these relationship would enable the identification of the dominant parameters acting on a particular basin. An extensive and detailed analysis accounting for the various morphometric parameters under linear, areal and relief aspects of measurements was performed. The test site is located along the foothills of the Western Ghats, near the city of Pune and comprises of three large scale basins. The three rivers viz. Ghod, Bhima and Mula-Mutha, which are amongst the largest in the state, broadly consist of 23 sub-basins of Ghod, 22 of Bhima and 11 of Mula-Mutha.

This paper describes the application of a spatially distributed hydrological model WetSpa (Water and Energy Transfer between Soil, Plants and Atmosphere) using radar-based rainfall data provide by the United States Hydrology Laboratory of NOAA's National Weather Service for a distributed model intercomparison project. The model is applied to the
river basin above Tahlequah hydrometry station with 30-m spatial resolution and one hour time--step for a total simulation period of 6 years. Rainfall inputs are derived from radar. The distributed model parameters are based on an extensive database of watershed characteristics available for the region, including digital maps of DEM, soil type, and land use. The model is calibrated and validated on part of the river flow records. The simulated hydrograph shows a good correspondence with observation (Nash efficiency coeffiecient >80%, indicating that the model is able to simulate the relevant hydrologic processes in the basin accurately.
Flood is the most devastating environmental hazard throughout the world causing loss of precious human lives
and damage to infrastructure. They occur by unusual overflow of water over the banks of rivers or channels
thus inundating the surrounding area. The magnitude and intensity of floods depends on hydrological and
physical characteristics of the catchment and river channel. Adverse effects of these floods can be alleviated
through mapping of floodplain which is essentially the area around the channel which is likely to be flooded.
One of the methods of floodplain delineation is modeling the river flow using computer models such as the
Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). In this study the application of 2D HEC-RAS
river model is used to develop a floodplain map of river Kabul.

ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF SPATIAL INTERPOLATION OF RAINFALL ON THE STREAMFLOW ...civej
Precipitation within a river basin varies spatially and temporally and hence, is the most relevant input for
hydrologic modelling. Various interpolation methods exist to distribute rainfall spatially within a basin.
The sparse distribution of raingauge stations within a river basin and the differences in interpolation
methods can potentially impact the streamflow simulated using a hydrologic model. The present study
focuses on assessing the effect of spatial interpolation of rainfall using Theissen polygon, Inverse distance
weighted (IDW) method and Ordinary Kriging on the streamflow simulated using a physically based
spatially distributed model-SHETRAN in Vamanapuram river basin in Southern Kerala, India. The
SHETRAN model in the present study utilises rainfall data from the available rain gauge stations within the
basin and potential evapo-transpiration calculated using Penman-Monteith method, along with other input
parameters like soil and landuse. Four years of rainfall and evapo-transpiration data on a daily scale is
used for model calibration and one year data for validation. The performance of the different spatial
interpolation methods were assessed based on the Mean Annual flow and statistical parameters like NashSutcliffe
Efficiency, coefficient of determination. The ordinary kriging and IDW methods were found to be
satisfactory in the spatial interpolation of rainfall.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Accurate estimation of runoff and sediment yield amount is not only an important task in physiographic but also important for proper watershed management. Watershed is an ideal unit for planning and management of land and water resources. Direct runoff in a catchment depends on soil type, land cover and rainfall. Of the many methods available for estimating runoff from rainfall, the curve number method (SCS-CN) is the most popular. The curve number depends upon soil and land use characteristics. This study was conducted in the Upper Cauvery Karnataka using remote sensing and GIS. SCSCN method has been used for surface runoff estimation for Eight watersheds of Upper Cauvery. The soil map and land use were created in the GIS environment, because the curve number method is used here as a distributed model. The major advantage of employing GIS in rainfall -runoff modelling is that more accurate sizing and catchment characterization can be achieved. Furthermore, the analysis can be performed much faster, especially when there is a complex mix of land use classes and different soil types. The results showed that the surface runoff ranged from 170.12-599.84 mm in the study area, when rainfall rates were received from 1042.65-1912 mm. To find the relationship between rainfall and runoff rates, The straight line equation was used, That was found there a strong correlation between Runoff and precipitation rates, The value correlation coefficient between them was 86%. The Average depth of runoff is more in watershed A4, Average runoff coefficient is less in Watershed B2, the correlation coefficient is high in A4 to a value of almost 95%. Through of these results, the study recommends take advantage of runoff rates by reserving them at collection of Watershed and then using them for agricultural purposes in the vicinity. This would be better than reserving water from the total area which is 10874.65 square kilometers, and then will evaporate or infiltrate before reaching the dam lake

A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PERFO...IAEME Publication
The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated. A simple random sampling methodology was employed to congregate data as of the respondents. Generating the hypothesis along with testing is eventuated.

By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.

Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.

Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

8], iii) one-dimensional soil water flow model [9-11]; iv) infiltration test using single ring,
double rings, the well permeameter [12, 13], v) inverse modeling technique [14-16], vi)
ground water level fluctuation method [5, 17, 18], vii) Chemical/ radioactive method [19, 20].
However, these methods sometime are difficult and expensive in the field test. Moreover, the
water balance in unsaturated zone cannot be evaluated easily and lead incorrectly equated
with the sustainable yield of an aquifer. Along the development of technology, soil water
content can be monitored via Arduino soil moisture sensor [21]. This approach shows
potential useful to validate soil profile under water movement process. Hence, the aim of the
paper is to explore deep percolation characteristics of three soil types utilizing Richard’s
function (Hydrus 1D) and observed soil moisture via field sensors. First, the field
measurement system was designed and installed in three locations in the Saigon Basin,
Vietnam. Second, the daily deep percolations of 3 soil types (sand clay loam, sand clay, and
clay) were simulated using the Hydrus 1D model. The water retention parameters were
calibrated and verified from Oct 2017 to Dec 2018 by field experimental data in the study
area. Third, relationships of effective rainfall and deep percolation were analyzed to detect the
deep percolation functions for 3 soil types in the study area by simulated results from Apr
2017 to Dec 2018. These investigations gave an insight on deeper percolation characteristics
as well as potential land recharge from rainfall utilizing soil moisture approach for developing
groundwater modeling to evaluate groundwater balance in the future.
Figure 1 Study area field measurement area
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was conducted by installing soil moisture sensors in 3 field sites with automatic
data collection. These soil samples were collected to calibrate with soil moisture sensors in
the lab. Then, the percolation flows were simulated using Richard’s function (Hydrus 1D).
The water retention parameters were estimated by inverse modeling utilizing observed soil
moisture in the field. The performance of soil moisture simulation is justified due to statistic
parameters and the regression. Finally, the functions of percolation rate with effective rainfall
(rainfall – evapotranspiration), rainfall intensity (rainfall/no of days), percolation rate
(percolation/effective rainfall) of three soil types were determined. The procedures of study
are shown as Figure 2.

Figure 3 Approach of field installation and measurement (a: bore-log design; b: inject sensor into soil;
c: calibration soil moisture; d: field measurement data; e: monitor soil moisture)
The motivation of soil moisture sensor in this paper is adapted from low-cost soil moisture
profile probe [21]. The soil moisture sensor developed includes 2 parts: sensing parts and
reading board. First, the copper sensing part consisted of two wide bars, with a width and
length of 25 and 55 mm, respectively. There was a 1 mm gap between the two bars. These
two bars work as a resistor. The wiring part extended to the end of the copper plate and was
connected to a soil moisture module. Then, the soil moisture sensing parts and wiring are
attached to the aluminium bar. The circuit includes five soil moisture sensing parts to measure
the electrical resistance of soil at 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, and 5m. Second, to measure the soil
moisture, Arduino board, which is an open-source electronics platform, is utilized during field
measurement. The reader board consists of soil moisture module and Lambda board. The soil
moisture module measures the soil resistance, while the Lambda board records the data
hourly. The power is supplied from USB 5v 1A. The data was recorded in cloud and
downloaded weekly. The soil moisture of each soil type is calibrated with moisture
measurement in the lab. Then, the measurements in three field sites are converted to soil
moisture. The soil moisture approach is summarized and shown in Figure 3.

3. RESULTS
From the field sensor measurement, soil moisture movements of 3 soil types in wetting and
drying phases are shown in Figure 3. The movement of soil moisture in sand clay loam is the
highest. Clay shows the lowest movement in soil moisture. The soil moisture increases after
rainy season and decrease after dry season. The measurement data show that installed soil
moisture sensors gave reliable values under natural field conditions. Then, the analysis
relationship between percolation rate and effective rainfall of three soil type can apply the
field soil moisture data via installed sensors.

Table 2 shows the soil retention parameter values after calibration and verification. The
soil retention parameters are proportional with percentage of sand. The α, n, K parameters
decrease in deeper depths. The sand clay loam has highest hydraulic conductivity. The lowest
hydraulic conductivity is clay. In addition, the parameters of sand clay and clay showed
agreement with defaulted values from Hydrus1-D [23]. However, the hydraulic conductivity
of sand clay loam is lower than the defaulted value due to the higher silt ratio in the soil
sample than referred value.

Figure 7 demonstrates the hysteretic soil-water retention curves (SWRC) of three soil
types at the depths of 1, 5 m from soil surface. The results illustrated good fitting shape of the
unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function near saturation. Moreover, the simulations show
that hysteresis of percolation rate between drying phase and wetting phase relies on void
space and pore size distribution, which are in agreement with experimental results from
Yang, 2004 [24]. In example, with the lowest pore-size index, water is difficult to pass
through clay, which cause large hysteresis for clay soil (as in Table 2). In addition, the
percolation fluxes decrease in each soil depth due to the evapotranspiration influence at soil
surface.

The average monthly percolation rates of three soil type pattern correspond to effective
rainfall. The deep percolations proceed mainly in wet period, while dry period gave very low
percolation (as an example in Figure 8). The percolation rate at 5 meter depth is in range 0-4
mm/day. Table 3 shows average percolation rates of three soil type in dry and wet periods of
2017-2018. Due to the permeability property of soil, the derived percolation rate in fluxes in
deeper depth are lower than in upper depth of each soil type in the study area. The amount
percolation is the highest for sand clay loam and the lowest for clay. The experiment data are
in accordance with the percolation rate of sand clay loam (2.3 mm/day) in Phitsanulok,
Thailand [25, 26].

Figure 8 Average monthly percolation rate of sand clay and effective rainfall
The percolation fluxes were compared with effective rainfall to find the percolation rate
function of the study area. Figure 9a demonstrates percolation rate function with average
monthly effective rainfall. The highest percolation rate is sand clay loam and the lowest is
clay. The deep percolation rates are affected from rainfall intensity. Under rainfall intensity 4-
14mm/day, the average monthly percolation rate of sand clay loam, sand clay, and clay are in
range 2-4.5 mm/day, 1.5-3.5 mm/day, and 0.5-2 mm/day, respectively. Besides, this
experiment also reveals that grain size of soil and percentage of sand has strong relationship
with percolation flux in wet period (as shown in Figure 8 and 9b), i.e., the higher sand
percentage gives higher percolation rate.

4. CONCLUSIONS
The field sensor measurement system was successfully installed in three locations in the
Saigon Basin, Vietnam and the daily deep percolation of 3 soil types (sand clay loam, sand
clay, clay) were analyzed by using the Hydrus 1D model calibrated by the daily field
experimental data from Oct 2017- Dec 2018 in the study area.
The average monthly percolation rates of three soil type pattern correspond to effective
rainfall, rainfall intensity and soil type. The deep percolation proceeds mainly in wet period,
while dry period gave very low percolation (as an example in Figure 8). The percolation rate
at 5 meter depth is in range 0-4 mm/day. Average percolation rates of three soil type are

analyzed in dry and wet periods of Apr 2017-Dec 2018. Due to the permeability property of
soil, the derived percolation rate in fluxes in deeper depth are lower than in upper depth of
each soil type in the study area. The percolation is the highest for sand clay loam and the
lowest for clay. The average monthly percolation rate of sand clay loam, sand clay, and clay
varies 2-4.5 mm/day, 1.5-3.5 mm/day, and 0.5-2 mm/day, respectively to rainfall intensity 4-
14mm/day. Besides, grain size of soil and percentage of sand has strong relationship with
percolation flux in wet period, i.e., the higher sand percentage gives higher percolation rate.
This experiment presented an insights approach to estimate better deep percolation from
effective rainfall via field soil moisture sensor system. The approach assisted to give better
understanding relationships of deep percolation with effective rainfall, rainfall intensity and
soil type. The experiment gave an insight on deeper percolation characteristics as well as
potential land recharge from rainfall utilizing soil moisture approach for future groundwater
balance evaluation.
