LAUNCH OF HANDBOOK TITLED “THE VADOSE ZONE: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE”
The “The Vadose Zone: from Theory to Practice” handbook is the product of a series of projects focused on the role of the vadose zone (also known as the unsaturated zone) in the hydrological and geotechnical behaviour of materials, as well as those exacerbated by anthropogenic change.

About this event
The “The Vadose Zone: from Theory to Practice” handbook is the product of a series of projects focused on the role of the vadose zone (also known as the unsaturated zone) in the hydrological and geotechnical behaviour of materials, as well as those exacerbated by anthropogenic change. Several projects have built up to this book and launch, working progressively through (i) theory of the vadose zone, (ii) interstitial systems, (iii) fractured systems, (iv) karstic systems, and (v) contaminant transport and flow changes in cemeteries as a case study. These contributions culminated in this project, requiring these
systems to be overlain into a complex vadose zone system subjected to anthropogenic change.
Join us over a cup of coffee for the short 30-minute launch of “The Vadose Zone: from Theory to Practice” handbook facilitated by editor Prof Matthys Dippenaar and featuring a panel of its authors, to name a few.

Workshop Theme
The vadose zone, also termed the unsaturated zone, is the part of Earth between the land surface and the top of the phreatic zone, the position at which the groundwater (the water in the soil's pores) is at atmospheric pressure ("vadose" is from the Latin word for "shallow").
