Rainfall Simulator

Rainfall simulator

For both laboratory and field studies, Landloch uses a 2-module simulator able to cover plots up to 5 m long and 1.5 m wide. It provides:

• Excellent portability, having been used at sites in Western Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory;
• High level of reliability;
• Compliance with safety and EMC standards;
• Excellent performance in terms of spatial uniformity and repeatability (Loch et al. 2001); and
•Considerable flexibility, with either one or two modules being used depending on plot size required.

Field studies have been carried out on:

• Mine spoils and waste dumps
• Agricultural and horticultural areas as part of research projects
• Factory wastes
• Rehabilitated slopes simulating road side areas
