Pond weed has been the bane of canal systems since irrigation came to the West. It slows water in the canals and reduces the amount of water available for delivery, and it can clog head gates. Some ...

The performance of drip irrigation systems is critically influenced by clogging mechanisms that reduce hydraulic efficiency and compromise water distribution uniformity. Sediment deposition, calcium ...

To understand their strategies for working effectively without clogging traffic jams, researchers studied how fire ants dug tunnels in glass particles that simulated soil. This material relates to a ...
