Expand your knowledge of on-site water/wastewater management systems by learning about the principles of soil hydrology and water flow through the unsaturated (vadose zone) and saturated (aquifer or perched water) continuum within the soil profile.  Apply the knowledge of saturated-unsaturated water flow to assess movement of water or wastewater applied to soil through surface (e.g., irrigation) and subsurface (e.g., buried drip lines) systems in the presence or absence of a shallow water table.  Learn about water balance analysis and ways to determine the drainage component of the water balance equation by analyzing vertical drainage through the vadose zone and lateral flow of water above a slowly permeable layer within this zone.  Become familiar with simple models to analyze ground water mounding analysis and apply the knowledge gained to verify and/or modify the design parameters for on-site systems.

Instructor

Aziz Amoozegar, PhD, LSS, is a Professor of Environmental Soil Physics at North Carolina State University. He joined NCSU in 1983 and has conducted numerous field and laboratory research studies on the movement of water and transport of pollutants through the vadose zone and the upper part of aquifer in North Carolina. Prior to joining NCSU, Aziz was a Research Associate at the University of Arizona after receiving his MS and PhD degrees there. At U of A he conducted laboratory studies to assess movement of pollutants through different soils, and did mathematical modeling describing movement of water and transport of pollutants through the vadose zone. Aziz is the inventor of the Compact Constant Head Permeameter, also known as the Amoozemeter, for measuring soil saturated hydraulic conductivity in the vadose zone.
