The doctoral students of the Vienna Doctoral Programme on Water Resource Systems, are currently installing the temporal soil net again at the HOAL fields. The soil net sensors had to be removed from the fields for a short period due to the farmes were cultivating the fields for the next season.

The…

Today Borbala Szeles, student from the DK on water resource systems, is in the HOAL fields to collect data from the mobile eddy covariance stations and to do some maintenance works.

Even if less evapotranspiration is happening in this time of the year the devices are running the whole time to…

Today again Lovrenc Pavlin and Markus Oismüller were operating the groundwater sampling at the groundwater wells from the deep boreholes in the HOAL catchment. In an interval of 2 months this sampling is taking place in the HOAL at the 8 deep wells in the catchment.

The samples are analysed for…

The temporal soil net is currently prepared and checked for the next installation in the HOAL fields.

As soon as the farmers will be finished with the tillage of their land the 11 temporal soil net stations will in addition with the 20 permanent stations measure the soil moisture in the HOAL in 4…

Recently the homepage of the European network of hydrological observatories - short 'ENOHA' was launched. The aims of ENOHA are to create a network of well-instrumented and monitored hydrological observatories and to ensure a close cooperation between several European research institutions. The…

Recently Lovrenc Pavlin, new doctoral student from Slovenia in our DK programme, was operating a sampling from the groundwater wells from the deep boreholes in the HOAL catchment.

In total at 6 wells samples have been taken which will be analysed for chemical parameters but also for stable isotopes…

Nives Balenovic, doctoral student from Croatia working in a cooperation project from IKT Petzenkirchen, BOKU Vienna and CTU Prague, started recently her PhD about 'Kinetic energy of rainfall as driving force of soil detachment and transport' (also known as splash erosion).

She is doing her field…

Rasmiaditya Silasari recently published her paper in the journal 'Hydrological Processes'. The paper is about the potential of high temporal resolution time‐lapse photography for mapping the dynamics of saturation areas on the hillslope scale during natural rainfall.

Giorgio Nicchi and Tommaso Picciafuoco, guests students from University of Perugia, Italy are continuing with infiltrometer measurements in the HOAL. Since now most of the parts of the catchment have been harvested recently, they can cover a large percentage of the catchment with the planned…

Currently the temporal soil net, which is measuring soil moisture and soil temperature down to 50cm below ground surface, is removed. The soil net was partly installed in the middle of agricultural used fields, currently wheat is growing there. Since the crop is harvested soon and soil tillage…
