Rainfall Simulator
Rainfall simulator
Landloch uses rainfall simulators for both laboratory-based and field-based studies. Landloch has simulators loacted in both Queensland and Western Australia that offer:
- Excellent portability, having been used at sites across Australia and overseas;
- High level of reliability;
- Compliance with safety and EMC standards;
- Excellent performance in terms of spatial uniformity and repeatability; and
- Considerable flexibility, with either one or two modules being used depending on plot size required.
Rainfall simulator investigations have been carried out on:
- Mine wastes and soils;
- Surfaces to assess impacts of vegetation on infiltration and erosion;
- Rangeland surfaces to collect parameters for use in ground water modelling;
- Mixtures of materials to assess impacts of rock armouring;
- Agricultural areas as part of research projects;
- Factory wastes to assess drainage water quality;
- Drinking water catchments as part of studies into the impacts of fire on water quality; and
- Steep slopes to assess the usefulness of hydromulches in stabilising surfaces.
