Abstract:
Abstract. Bacteriophages are increasingly used as tracers for quantitative analysis in both hydrology and hydrogeology. The biological particles are neither toxic nor pathogenic for other living organisms as they penetrate only a specific bacterial host. They have many advantages over classical fluorescent tracers and offer the additional possibility of multi-point injection for tracer tests. Several years of research make them suitable for quantitative transport analysis and flow boundary delineation in both surface and ground waters, including karst, fractured and porous media aquifers. This article presents the effective application of bacteriophages based on their use in differing Swiss hydrological environments and compares their behaviour to conventional coloured dye or salt-type tracers. In surface water and karst aquifers, bacteriophages travel at about the same speed as the typically referenced fluorescent tracers (uranine, sulphurhodamine G extra). In aquifers of interstitial porosity, however, they appear to migrate more rapidly than fluorescent tracers, albeit with a significant reduction in their numbers within the porous media. This faster travel time implies that a modified rationale is needed for defining some ground water protection area boundaries. Further developments of other bacteriophages and their documentation as tracer methods should result in an accurate and efficient tracer tool that will be a proven alternative to conventional fluorescent dyes.

Abstract:
Gypsum in Hellas and Cyprus occurs in three different types: (a) bedded (mainly of Messinian age in Cyprus and Crete), (b) domes (mainly western Hellas and Crete), and (c) as bodies, fragments and cementing material in Triassic conglomerate formations (western Hellas). Ground failure caused by void migration to the surface, resulting from gypsum dissolution, is a common phenomenon in such areas, which are also found in other European countries (e.g., Italy, Spain, Switzerland, U.K., Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine and Russia). In this paper three different case studies of ground failure are presented: Cyprus, Crete (Viannos) and Corfu. Engineering geological, stratigraphical, geophysical, hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical studies of these areas, revealed the direct relationship between surface runoff, and ground water circulation with the rate of gypsum dissolution, the subsequent development of karst hollows, and the associated ground failure in urban and suburban environments. Two main models were defined, according to different mechanisms of gypsum dissolution. The first model is associated with the erosion activity of surface runoff, the second with the dissolving capacity of ground water. Risks to the urban and suburban environments were assessed, and guidelines as well as mitigation measures were proposed.

Abstract:
The industrial discharge carries significant level of contaminants to the surface water and ground water. Whereas the quality of freshwater is very vital because is highly use by human for drinking, bathing, agriculture and other needs. The presence of contaminants from industries within the water may reduce the yield of crops and the growth of plants; it is also harmful to the aquatic living organisms, it alters the surface water and ground water quality. Industrial pollution is one of the major factors causing degradation of the environment, affecting the water we use, the air we breathe and the soil we live on. Hence, the pollution of water is arguably the most serious threat to current human welfare. This paper review elucidates reasons of contamination of surface water by the industrial effluents, highlights major causes of ground water pollution; the work also indicates some industrial discharges and their contaminants.

Abstract:
Nowadays, ammonia nitrogen (NH4+) pollution gets more and more attention in drinking water sources. This study investigated the main behavior of biogeochemical NH4+ from groundwater to surface water in a hyporheic zone (HZ) sediment from a reservoir. The experiments were conducted using synthetic groundwater to investigate ammonium transformation. The results indicated that ammonium concentration decreased, apparently resulting from the influence of microbial oxidation and ion exchange with Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, and Na+. However, all the ammonium in the sediment was oxidized, then the adsorbed NH4+ became bioavailable by being released back when NH4+ concentration decreased in the aqueous phase. The results showed NH4+ behavior in a HZ where the aerobic and anaerobic environments frequently exchange, with different hydrological conditions controlled by a strong coupling between microbial activities, geochemistry, hydrology, and ion exchange.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the influence of strain rate in Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) of a 304L austenitic stainless steel at 300 °C in different environments (secondary vacuum, air and Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) water environment). Moreover test samples are ground to obtain a surface finish rougher than all that could be found in nuclear power plants. Different strain rates (4x10-3, 1x10-4and 1x10-5s-1) are studied, with a triangular waveform at a total strain amplitude of ±0.6%. The influence of strain rate on cyclic stress-strain behavior and fatigue life is firstly analyzed in secondary vacuum, considered as a non-active environment. Then, interactions between stain rate and environmental effects in Air and in PWR environment are presented. In all environments, a decrease in strain rate leads to a negative strain rate dependence of the stress response and a reduction in fatigue life. Finally, SEM observations of fatigue striations in PWR environment indicate a crack propagation rate enhancement when the strain rate is decreased.

Abstract:
Changes in particle size, surface properties, and composition brought about by planetary grinding of silicon in air and various permittivity liquids were investigated. Using a variety of spectroscopic techniques (ESR, IRS, and XPS), a mechanically induced surface oxidation was proved. While at grinding in air and organic liquids a part of the centers originating from dangling orbitals on SiIII are preserved, the properties of water-ground silicon are fully governed by the oxide surface shell. The most effective particle size reduction and surface protection can be reached by grinding in nonpolar liquids.

Abstract:
Abstract. The strong winds prevalent in high altitude and arctic environments heavily redistribute the snow cover, causing a small-scale pattern of highly variable snow depths. This has profound implications for the ground thermal regime, resulting in highly variable near-surface ground temperatures on the metre scale. Due to asymmetric snow distributions combined with the nonlinear insulating effect of snow, the spatial average ground temperature in a 1 km2 area cannot be determined based on the average snow cover for that area. Land surface or permafrost models employing a coarsely classified average snow depth will therefore not yield a realistic representation of ground temperatures. In this study we employ statistically derived snow distributions within 1 km2 grid cells as input to a regional permafrost model in order to represent sub-grid variability of ground temperatures. This improves the representation of both the average and the total range of ground temperatures. The model reproduces observed sub-grid ground temperature variations of up to 6 °C, and 98 % of borehole observations match the modelled temperature range. The mean modelled temperature of the grid cell reproduces the observations with an accuracy of 1.5 °C or better. The observed sub-grid variations in ground surface temperatures from two field sites are very well reproduced, with estimated fractions of sub-zero mean annual ground surface temperatures within ±10 %. We also find that snow distributions within areas of 1 km2 in Norwegian mountain environments are closer to a gamma than to a lognormal theoretical distribution. The modelled permafrost distribution seems to be more sensitive to the choice of distribution function than to the fine-tuning of the coefficient of variation. When incorporating the small-scale variation of snow, the modelled total permafrost area of mainland Norway is nearly twice as large compared to the area obtained with grid-cell average snow depths without a sub-grid approach.

Abstract:
A new spatially telescoping approach was proposed to improve measurement flexibility and account for hydrologic scale in field studies of groundwater-surface water (GW-SW) interaction. We applied this spatially telescoping approach in a study GW-SW interactions along Lucile Creek, Alaska. Catchment-scale data were used to screen areas of potentially significant GW-SW exchange, indicating groundwater contribution from a deeper regional aquifer along the middle to lower reaches of the stream. This initial assessment was tested using reach-scale estimates of groundwater contribution during base flow conditions. The reach-scale measurements indicated a large increase in discharge along the middle reaches of the stream accompanied by a shift in chemical composition towards a regional groundwater end member. Point measurements of vertical water fluxes were used to evaluate spatial and temporal variability of GW-SW exchange within representative reaches. The spatially telescoping approach identified locations of GW-SW exchange and improved interpretation of reach-scale and point-scale measurements.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of the study is to investigate the variability in riverbed permeability fields in an unprecedented spatial resolution and quantify the impacts on controlling hyporheic exchange fluxes. Geophysical surveys were conducted deploying GPR on the floodplain and within the channel. At locations identified to be representative for the range of streambed hydrofacies in investigated stream reach, multi-level mini-piezometer networks were installed in the streambed. The results of GPR surveys in both sites provided different radar reflections which indicated a range of different radar facies and helped to delineate the type and extend of high and low conductive materials. The localised high Darcy fluxes inside high conductivity piezometers indicated rapid discharge of groundwater due to the enhanced connectivity to deeper groundwater. Whereas, low flow velocity within and around low conductivity peat and clay lenses indicated that these layers substantially inhibit groundwater upwelling, resulting in enhanced streambed residence and reaction times. The increase in residence time and the related depletion in the volume of DO facilitated the development of conditions necessary for nitrate reduction. In contrast, preferential flow paths and short residence times in highly conductive drift deposits resulted in no significant changes in nitrate concentrations along hyporheic flow paths.

Abstract:
This thesis examines how global environmental crisis narratives and discourses have influenced environmental policy and practice in conservation programmes for the Okavango Delta, Botswana. In particular, it highlights the contested nature of biodiversity conservation and the embedded power relations in the framing, definition and crafting of solutions to the problem of biodiversity degradation at local, national and international levels. The thesis therefore examines, based on these framings, the consequences of global environmental agreements, such as the Ramsar Convention and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, for local livelihoods in terms of access to and control over local environmental resources in the Okavango Delta. Using a political ecological conceptual lens and related literature on common pool resource management and community-based natural resource management, this thesis traces the changing perceptions, narratives and discourses relating to the Okavango Delta over time, and assesses how these have shaped changes in policy for the Delta's use and management. It specifically analyses the implementation of international programmes and their role in facilitating these changes. Through an in-depth study of dynamic human-environment interactions around fisheries and other wetland resources, this thesis shows how international interventions have not only increased conflicts but also facilitated the strict regulation of these resources. The thesis therefore analyses how framing these and other common pool resources as being of ‘international significance' alters control over them and affects the livelihood security of the local people that depend on these resources. It concludes that such restrictive conservation policies and management approaches have led to a transfer of control over wetland resources from local subsistence users to other, more powerful, commercial interests, especially those in the international tourism industry.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Over the past two decades, there has been an increase in the use of water sources for irrigation, as well as an increase in Escherichia coli outbreaks linked to fresh produce. The full extent and type of E. coli contamination present in natural water sources is unknown and the contamination sources have also not been confirmed. The aim of this study was to enumerate and characterise E. coli from both irrigation water and potential contamination source sites. Total coliform and E. coli counts found in contamination source sites were as high as log 7.114 and log 6.912 MPN.100 mL-1, respectively. Total coliform and E. coli counts for irrigation sites were lower, with maximum counts of log 5.788 and log 5.768 MPN.100 mL-1, respectively. It was found that more than one third (5/14 = 35.71%) of the irrigation sites had E. coli counts exceeding the guidelines (<1 000 counts.100 mL-1) for ‘safe’ irrigation water for fresh produce (<1 000 counts.100 mL-1) as set by the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) and World Health Organisation (WHO), making the water unsuitable for the irrigation of fresh produce. Phylogenetic subgroups (A0, A1, B1, B22, B23, D1 and D2) and the MALDI Biotyper system (PCA dendrogram) were used to create a fingerprint of each E. coli isolated from the environment. These were then used to link E. coli strains from irrigation water to their most probable contamination origin. Escherichia coli population structure was found in this study, to be better suited for linking E. coli strains from irrigation water to their most likely source, than just applying the phylogenetic grouping. The MALDI Biotyper data in combination with the phylogenetic subgroup assignment was then used to group similar strains and link E. coli from irrigation water to their contamination sources by comparing population structures. Strains isolated from surface and groundwater showed similar distribution patterns, but groundwater strains showed a population structure more indicative of porcine and bovine origin, while surface water showed population characteristics which could not be used to make conclusive links between the irrigation water and suspected contamination sources. When investigating the population structures of individual sample sites, it was found that phylogenetic subgroups A0, A1 and B1 frequently made up the bulk of the E. coli population. It was also found that linking individual irrigation sites to contamination sources was successful, as irrigation site Berg-2 was found to have a similar population structure to contamination source site Plank-1 which represents human pollution from an informal settlement. This led to the conclusion that Berg-2 was being contaminated by human pollution, most probably from an informal settlement. Upon further investigation it was found that Berg-2 is downstream of an informal settlement, proving that E. coli population structure is a successful means of microbial source tracking (MST). Virulence factors of the 153 E. coli isolated during the study were identified and the potential risk associated with using the investigated irrigation water for irrigation of fresh produce, was determined. Two enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) strains were isolated from the irrigation water, one from the Plankenburg River water, and the other from a borehole in the Drakenstein area. The latter indicates that borehole water is not as safe as was once thought, and that there are bacterial contaminants finding their way into groundwater. The occurrence of an EPEC strain in river water shows that neither ground nor surface water is guaranteed to be safe, and that treatment of water being used for the irrigation of fresh produce should be implemented.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Oor die afgelope twee dekades was daar nie net 'n toename in die gebruik van alternatiewe waterbronne vir besproeiing nie, maar ook 'n toename in uitbrake van Escherichia coli uitbrake wat aan vars produkte gekoppel kan word. Die tipe E. coli-besmetting wat in natuurlike waterbronne teenwoordig is, is onbekend en die besmettingsbron is ook nog nie bevestig nie. Daarom was die doel van hierdie studie om die voorkomssyfer van E. coli van beide besproeiingswater en potensiële kontaminasiebronne te bepaal, asook om die E. coli te karakteriseer. Totale kolivorme en E. coli-tellings wat in kontaminasiebronne gevind is, het ‘n maksimum van log 7,114 en log 6,912 MPN.100 mL-1 onderskeidelik bereik, terwyl die totale kolivorme en E. coli-tellings vir besproeiingswater laer was, met 'n maksimum van log 5,788 en 5,768 MPN.100 mL-1, onderskeidelik. Dit is bevind dat meer as 1/3 (5/14 = 35,71%) van die besproeiingswaterbronne meer E. coli bevat as wat toegelaat word in die riglyne vir "veilige" besproeiingswater vir vars produkte (<1 000 fekale koliforme.100 mL-1) wat deur die Departement Waterwese (DWA) en die Organisasie vir Wêreldgesondheid (WHO) aanbeveel word. Filogenetiese subgroepe (A0, A1, B1, B22, B23, D1 en D2) en die ‘MALDI Biotyper’-stelsel (PKA dendrogram) is gebruik om unieke profiele vir elke geïsoleerde E. coli te skep. Dié profiele is daarna gebruik om E. coli-stamme van besproeiingswater te koppel aan die mees waarskynlike oorsprong van kontaminasie. Daar is in hierdie studie bevind dat die E. coli-populasiestruktuur beter geskik was vir die koppeling van E. coli-stamme van besproeiingswater na hul mees waarskynlikste bron, as net die toepassing van die filogenetiese groepering. Dit was toe gevind dat E. coli wat uit oppervlak- en grondwater geïsoleer is, soortgelyke verspreidingspatrone het, maar grondwaterstamme se bevolkingstruktuur is meer aanduidend van fekale besmetting deur varke en beeste, terwyl oppervlakwater se bevolkingseienskappe nie duidelik genoeg was om ‘n gevolgtrekking oor moontlike bronne van besmetting te maak nie. Toe die populasiestruktuur van die individuele bemonsteringspunte ondersoek is, is daar bevind dat die filogenetiese subgroepe A0, A1 en B1 dikwels die meeste tot die E. coli bevolking bydra. Daar is ook bevind dat die koppeling van isolate in individuele besproeiingswaterbronne met hul mees waarskynlike bronne van kontaminasie suksesvol was. Besproeiingswater van Berg-2 het 'n soortgelyke populasiestruktuur as Plank-1 wat beskou is as ‘n kontaminasiebron. Dit het gelei tot die gevolgtrekking dat Berg-2 heel waarskynlik deur menslike besoedeling beïnvloed word, soos Plank-1, en dat daar moontlik ook ‘n informele nedersetting by Berg-2 betrokke is. Na verdere ondersoek is gevind dat Berg-2 inderdaad ook stroomaf van 'n ander informele nedersetting geleë is, wat bewys dat die E. coli-populasiestruktuur 'n suksesvolle manier is om E. coli kontaminasie te verbind met besproeiingswater. Patogeniese faktore, wat in E. coli voorkom en maagkieme veroorsaak, is vooraf getoets in elkeen van die 153 E. coli-isolate wat tydens die studie geïdentifiseer is. Twee ‘enteropathogenic’ E. coli (EPEC)-stamme is uit die besproeiingswater geïsoleer: een uit die Plankenburgrivier (Plank-3), en die ander uit 'n boorgat in die Drakenstein-gebied (Boorgat A1). Hierdie inligting dui aan dat boorgatwater nie so veilig is as wat voorheen vermoed is nie, en dat bakteriese kontaminasie wel vookom wat nie alleen die grondwater besmet nie, maar ook daarin oorleef. Die voorkoms van die EPEC-stamme in hierdie studie is ‘n aanduiding dat beide grond- en opppervlakwater ewe gevaarlik kan wees, en dat daar dus geen waarborg vir die veiligheid van die water is nie. Die behandeling van grond- en oppervlakwater, wat vir die besproeiing van vars produkte gebruik word, moet daarom ernstig oorweeg word om moontlike uitbrake van E. coli op vars produkte te verhoed.

Abstract:
High temperature water environments typical of LWR operation are known to significantly reduce the fatigue life of Type 300 series austenitic stainless steels in laboratory studies relative to air environments. This environmental impact on fatigue life has led to the issue of US-NRC Regulatory Guide 1.207 and supporting document NUREG/CR-6909 which predicts significant environmental reduction in fatigue life (characterised by an environmental factor Fen) for a range of actual and design basis transients. However, application of this factor to design curves (obtained from laboratory air data by the application of factors for size, surface finish, environment etc) may be unduly conservative. For example there are reasons to expect that a given surface condition will not have the same impact in air compared to water environments. The aim of the current work was to determine the impact of different surface conditions, typical of operating plant, on the fatigue life in both air and high temperature (300°C) water environments. This work indicates that, in a simulated PWR high temperature water environment, the impact of either a roughly ground/abraded surface finish (simulating flapper wheel dressing) or a simulated surface scratch on fatigue life relative to a polished surface finish is approximately half of the effect observed in ambient temperature air. This suggests that the application of a Fen value calculated in accordance with NUREG/CR-6909 to the design curves may indeed unduly over-estimate the impact of surface finish on fatigue life.

Abstract:
In the early morning on the 4th of August 2014, a tailings dam near Quesnel, BC burst, spilling approximately 25 million m3 of runoff containing heavy metal elements into nearby Quesnel Lake (Byrne et al. 2018). The runoff slurry, which included lead, arsenic, selenium, and vanadium spilled through Hazeltine Creek, scouring its banks and picking up till and forest cover on the way, and ultimately ended up in Quesnel Lake, whose water level rose by 1.5 m as a result. While the introduction of heavy metals into Quesnel Lake was of environmental concern, the additional till and forest cover scoured from the banks of Hazeltine Creek added to the lake has also been of concern to salmon spawning grounds. Immediate repercussions of the spill involved the damage of sensitive environments along the banks and on the lake bed, the closing of the seasonal salmon fishery in the lake, and a change in the microbial composition of the lake bed (Hatam et al. 2019). In addition, there appears to be a seasonal resuspension of the tailings sediment due to thermal cycling of the water and surface winds (Hamilton et al. 2020). While the water quality of Quesnel Lake continues to be monitored for the tailings sediments, primarily by members at the Quesnel River Research Centre, the sample-and-test methods of water quality testing used, while highly accurate, are expensive to undertake, and not spatially exhaustive. The use of remote sensing techniques, though not as accurate as lab testing, allows for the relatively fast creation of expansive water quality maps using sensors mounted on boats, planes, and satellites (Ritchie et al. 2003). The most common method for the remote sensing of surface water quality is through the use of a physics-based semianalytical model which simulates light passing through a water column with a given set of Inherent Optical Properties (IOPs), developed by Lee et al. (1998) and commonly referred to as a Radiative Transfer Model (RTM). The RTM forward-models a wide range of water-leaving spectral signatures based on IOPs determined by a mix of water constituents, including natural materials and pollutants. Remote sensing imagery is then used to invert the model by finding the modelled water spectrum which most closely resembles that seen in the imagery (Brando et al 2009). This project set out to develop an RTM water quality model to monitor the water quality in Quesnel Lake, allowing for the entire surface of the lake to be mapped at once, in an effort to easily determine the timing and extent of resuspension events, as well as potentially investigate greening events reported by locals. The project intended to use a combination of multispectral imagery (Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2), as well as hyperspectral imagery (DESIS), combined with field calibration/validation of the resulting models. The project began in the Autumn before the COVID pandemic, with plans to undertake a comprehensive fieldwork campaign to gather model calibration data in the summer of 2020. Since a province-wide travel shutdown and social distancing procedures made it difficult to carry out water quality surveying in a small boat, an insufficient amount of fieldwork was conducted to suit the needs of the project. Thus, the project has been put on hold, and the primary researcher has moved to a different project. This document stands as a report on all of the work conducted up to April 2021, intended largely as an instructional document for researchers who may wish to continue the work once fieldwork may freely and safely resume. This research was undertaken at the University of Ottawa, with supporting funding provided by the Earth Observations for Cumulative Effects (EO4CE) Program Work Package 10b: Site Monitoring and Remediation, Canada Centre for Remote Sensing, through the Natural Resources Canada Research Affiliate Program (RAP).

Abstract:
The vadose (unsaturated) zone forms a major hydrologic link between the ground surface and underlying aquifers. To understand properly its role in protecting groundwater from near surface sources of contamination, one must be able to analyze quantitatively water flow and contaminant transport in variably saturated subsurface environments that are highly heterogeneous, often consisting of multiple geologic units and/or high and/or low permeability inclusions. The specific objectives of this research were: (i) to develop efficient and accurate tools for probabilistic delineation of dominant geologic features comprising the vadose zone; (ii) to develop a complementary set of data analysis tools for discerning the fractal properties of hydraulic and transport parameters of highly heterogeneous vadose zone; (iii) to develop and test the associated computational methods for probabilistic analysis of flow and transport in highly heterogeneous subsurface environments; and (iv) to apply the computational framework to design an “optimal” observation network for monitoring and forecasting the fate and migration of contaminant plumes originating from agricultural activities. During the course of the project, we modified the third objective to include additional computational method, based on the notion that the heterogeneous formation can be considered as a mixture of populations of differing spatial structures. Regarding uncertainly analysis, going beyond approaches based on mean and variance of system states, we succeeded to develop probability density function (PDF) solutions enabling one to evaluate probabilities of rare events, required for probabilistic risk assessment. In addition, we developed reduced complexity models for the probabilistic forecasting of infiltration rates in heterogeneous soils during surface runoff and/or flooding events Regarding flow and transport in variably saturated, spatially heterogeneous formations associated with fine- and coarse-textured embedded soils (FTES- and CTES-formations, respectively).We succeeded to develop first-order and numerical frameworks for flow and transport in three-dimensional (3-D), variably saturated, bimodal, heterogeneous formations, with single and dual porosity, respectively. Regarding the sampling problem defined as, how many sampling points are needed, and where to locate them spatially in the horizontal x₂x₃ plane of the field. Based on our computational framework, we succeeded to develop and demonstrate a methdology that might improve considerably our ability to describe quntitaively the response of complicated 3-D flow systems. The results of the project are of theoretical and practical importance; they provided a rigorous framework to modeling water flow and solute transport in a realistic, highly heterogeneous, composite flow system with uncertain properties under-specified by data. Specifically, they: (i) enhanced fundamental understanding of the basic mechanisms of field-scale flow and transport in near-surface geological formations under realistic flow scenarios, (ii) provided a means to assess the ability of existing flow and transport models to handle realistic flow conditions, and (iii) provided a means to assess quantitatively the threats posed to groundwater by contamination from agricultural sources.

Abstract:
Original objectives and revisions The original objectives as stated in the approved proposal were: (1) To establish guidelines for the use of micrometeorological techniques as accurate, reliable and low-cost tools for continuous monitoring of whole canopy ET of common crops grown in large agricultural structures. (2) To adapt existing methods for protected cultivation environments. (3) To combine previously derived theoretical models of air flow and scalar fluxes in large agricultural structures (an outcome of our previous BARD project) with ET data derived from application of turbulent transport techniques for different crops and structure types. All the objectives have been successfully addressed. The study was focused on both screenhouses and naturally ventilated greenhouses, and all proposed methods were examined. Background to the topic Our previous BARD project established that the eddy covariance (EC) technique is suitable for whole canopy evapotranspiration measurements in large agricultural screenhouses. Nevertheless, the eddy covariance technique remains difficult to apply in the farm due to costs, operational complexity, and post-processing of data – thereby inviting alternative techniques to be developed. The subject of this project was: 1) the evaluation of four turbulent transport (TT) techniques, namely, Surface Renewal (SR), Flux-Variance (FV), Half-order Time Derivative (HTD) and Bowen Ratio (BR), whose instrumentation needs and operational demands are not as elaborate as the EC, to estimate evapotranspiration within large agricultural structures; and 2) the development of mathematical models able to predict water savings and account for the external environmental conditions, physiological properties of the plant, and structure properties as well as to evaluate the necessary micrometeorological conditions for utilizing the above turbulent transfer methods in such protected environments. Major conclusions and achievements The major conclusions are: (i) the SR and FV techniques were suitable for reliable estimates of ET in shading and insect-proof screenhouses; (ii) The BR technique was reliable in shading screenhouses; (iii) HTD provided reasonable results in the shading and insect proof screenhouses; (iv) Quality control analysis of the EC method showed that conditions in the shading and insect proof screenhouses were reasonable for flux measurements. However, in the plastic covered greenhouse energy balance closure was poor. Therefore, the alternative methods could not be analyzed in the greenhouse; (v) A multi-layered flux footprint model was developed for a ‘generic’ crop canopy situated within a protected environment such as a large screenhouse. The new model accounts for the vertically distributed sources and sinks within the canopy volume as well as for modifications introduced by the screen on the flow field and microenvironment. The effect of the screen on fetch as a function of its relative height above the canopy is then studied for the first time and compared to the case where the screen is absent. The model calculations agreed with field experiments based on EC measurements from two screenhouse experiments. Implications, both scientific and agricultural The study established for the first time, both experimentally and theoretically, the use of four simple TT techniques for ET estimates within large agricultural screenhouses. Such measurements, along with reliable theoretical models, will enable the future development of lowcost ET monitoring system which will be attainable for day-to-day use by growers in improving irrigation management.
