Frequently Asked Questions
What experiments can this apparatus perform?
Rainfall/runoff relationship studies and runoff hydrograph determination, groundwater flow and interflow investigation, well hydraulics (cone of depression, drawdown curves), and moving-storm simulation studying river feature development over time.
How is rainfall simulated?
Via 8 spray nozzles in two banks of 4, with a valve controlling how many nozzles operate to simulate rainfall over all or half the catchment, including a moving-storm effect.
How is groundwater studied?
Through two wells with stainless steel mesh sleeves and 20 piezometer tappings connected to a water manometer, allowing determination of the water table profile and cone of depression.
