Transient flow of water in saturated-unsaturated soil profiles

In this thesis tile transient flow of water, during tile drainage process in saturated-unsaturated soil profiles, was studied. Drainage experiments were performed on two different soil profiles. The first experiment undertaken was tile drainage of a vertical column of sand. This experiment was performed on two sands of differing grain size and grading. The second experiment undertaken was the drainage towards a well from a wedge of sand (cake slice) using yet a different coarse sand.
