- W2988895123 abstract "The Zarqa River (ZR) is located in the northern part of Jordan and supplies King Talal Dam (KTD). The streamflow that discharges into KTD is composed of treated wastewater from the Khirbat Es-Samra water treatment plant (KTP) and runoff generated during the winter season. Thus, during the summer, the streamflow of the ZR is dominated by effluent from the KTP. Due to the severe scarcity of water in Jordan, a portion of the streamflow is utilized for irrigated agriculture in the ZR valley, located between the KTP and KTD. The groundwater in the vicinity of the ZR is vulnerable to contamination-a risk that may be exacerbated by the potential occurrence of preferential flow (PF). Therefore, the PF in the soils near the ZR should be carefully considered.The macropore flux fraction (Qmacro) and macroscopic capillary length (λc ) were determined from in situ measurements using a tension infiltrometer equipped with an infiltration disc with a diameter of 20 cm. The macropore was defined as the pore size that drains at a tension of less than --3- cm. The λc less than 80 mm was considered to be an indication of PF. The measurements were taken at 69 sites along the ZR between the KTP and KTD. At each measurement site, the soil organic matter content (OM) and soil texture were determined using a composite soil sample obtained by excavating the soil beneath the infiltration disc to a depth of 10 cm.The data was split into two groups: the matrix flow group (MF), which includes data associated with λc > 80 mm, and the PF group, which includes data associated with λc < 80 mm. The Qmacro values of 0.67 and 0.57, respectively, for PF and MF were significantly different at p < 0.01 (t-test). The flow rates at h=0 were generally well associated with λc , as attested to by a significant difference between the averages of PF (57.8 mm/hr) and MF (21.0 mm/hr) at p < 0.01 (t-test). The OM was positively associated with PF. This was statistically confirmed by a t-test at p < 0.01. The average sand and clay contents of PF and MF were not statistically different. Analysis of the ratio of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) to clay showed that the average SOC/clay of the PF (14%) was larger than that of the MF (13.3%). After the exclusion of soils with clay content less than 8%, the differences between the SOC/clay averages of PF (9.8%) and MF (7.5%) were significant at p < 0.05, as shown by a WM-test.The OM was positively associated with PF. Soil texture-and clay content in particular-influenced the λc values. However, the association of clay content with PF was not statistically significant. Consideration of the SOC/clay ratio showed that the tendency toward PF increases as the complexation of the clay content increases. This was most obvious in soils with a clay content of greater than 8% and SOC/clay of approximately 10%. The OM either influences or is inter-correlated with the processes responsible for the formation of macropores." @default.
