Impact of density on the hydraulic properties of peat and the time domain reflectometry (TDR) moisture calibration curve

The hydraulic properties of a peat used in a commercial peat biofilter were evaluated to determine their relationship with density and to establish a time domain reflectometry (TDR) calibration curve for water content as a function of the measured dielectric constant. The peat studied was a milled S...
