Abstract
In arid and semi-arid regions, the evaporative demand is usually greater than the ability of soil to conduct water in the liquid phase and this lead to discontinuity in liquid-vapor phase. Knowledge of relation between water table depth and evaporation from bare soil is very important in these regions. Evaporation front (EF), is occurred between the soil surface and the water table. In this study a pseudo water table model was used to estimate evaporation front and evaporation rate under non-isothermal and greenhouse conditions. TDR was conducted to obtain soil moisture in order to determine depth. The results showed that evaporation front is greater in light soil Texture. In a sandy loam soil EF at water table depths 40, 60 and 80 cm were 7.92, 11.1 and 14.88 cm after 74 days. It could be result of low porosity and more hysteresis phenomenon in such a texture. The lighter soil texture, the lower evaporation front. Also for a loamy soil EF at water tables depths 40, 60 and 80 7.64, 9.9 and 13.12 cm respectively and for loamy clay soil EF at same water table depths were 7.04, 8.8 and 11.36 cm after 74 days. More water table, more evaporation front. Measured evaporation for soil and sandy loam texture at water tables of 40, 60 and 80 cm were 359.1, 304.83, and 233.88 respectively in this period. For soil loamy texture with conditions measured evaporation were 380.8, 334.3 and 265.2 and for loamy clay soil measured evaporation were 398.5, 351.1 and 287.4. Then model was developed in order to simulate depth of evaporation front and evaporation rate in various conditions, soil texture, potential of evaporation and water table were included. Statistical results showed good agreement between simulated and measured data. Salty of surface layer (1 or 2 cm) were measured, results showed the highest and lowest salinity in surface layer were determined for water table depths 80 and 40 cm respectively. The highest salinity was obtained in the loamy sand soil.
