Complete Water Balance for Rijnland Water Authority - Case Study

Complete Water Balance for Rijnland Water Authority In May 2017, the Rijnland Water Authority started using measuring equipment that helps provide better insight into the impact of climate change on water management. This involves three Eijkelkamp Smart Lysimeter measuring stations, which in addition to evapotranspiration data also provide data about the amount of precipitation, wind and soil ...

High resolution accurate mass spectrometry as a technique for characterization of complex lysimeter leachate samples

Lysimeter studies can be used to identify and quantify soil degradates of agrochemicals (“metabolites”) which have the potential to leach to groundwater. However, the apparent metabolic profile of ...

Global warming’s ecosystem double whammy

Plants and soils act like sponges for atmospheric carbon dioxide, but new research finds that one abnormally warm year can suppress the amount of carbon dioxide taken up by some grassland ecosystems for up to two years. The findings, which followed ...

Drain Gauge Lysimeters

Characterize variability without stressing your budget. The only accurate way to understand the amount of nutrients or chemicals leaching into the groundwater is to directly measure deep drainage. Large, controlled-tension weighing lysimeters are the most accurate way to make this measurement, but the considerable power and funding requirements of a weighing lysimeter plus the complexity of setup ...
