The water rebound effect is recognized as an impediment to irrigation efficiency enhancement for saving water. This study foregrounds climate conditions and crop mix as two important contexts influencing the relationship between irrigation efficiency and water use (the water rebound effect). Considering China as our study area for conducting an empirical analysis of this relationship, we used the...
For vortex settling basins (VSBs) installed with a deflector, perforation is an effective retrofit to reduce the self‐weight of the deflector and sediment deposition on it. The current study investigated experimentally the performance of VSBs the deflector of which was perforated at different locations with various opening ratios. The results showed that perforating the outside overflow area of the...
