    • Interaction of the Saturated and Unsaturated Soil Moisture Zones. 1. Analytical Solution of the Linearized Richards Equation. 2. The Role of Climate in Shaping the Phreatic Surface 

      Miller, Scott Allan; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-08)
      In Part I, dimensionless analytical expressions are derived describing the hydrologic processes and the moisture distribution of a high water table unsaturated soil column, by linearizing Richards' equation. The finite ...

    • Solar Pond Feasibility Study for Egypt: Preliminary Report 

      Salhotra, Atul; Adams, E. Eric; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1983-01)
      The report presents a preliminary feasibility study for salt gradient solar ponds in Egypt. Chapter 1 gives a brief review of the technical and economic aspects of solar ponds. Chapter 2 includes a discussion of the ongoing ...

    • A Comparison of Linear and Nonlinear Random Field Estimators 

      Angulo, Carlos Enrique Puente; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-11)
      The estimation of random fields from limited samples is an important issue in most fields of geophysics, such as Hydrology and Meteorology. Work by Matheron and others at the Paris School of Mines has popularized Kriging ...
