Transmissivity is often estimated from specific capacity data because of the expense of conducting standard aquifer test to obtain transmissivity and the relative availability of specific capacity data. Most often, analytic expression relating specific capacity to transmissivity derived by Theis (1963). Brown (1963). and Logan (1964) are used in this analysis. The analytic solution typically used to predict transmissivity from specific capacity in alluvial aquifers assuming influence radius and/or storage coefficient of the aquifers. But those do not agree well with the measured transmissivity in fractured rock aquifers and in heterogeneous aquifers. Razack-Huntely (199l). Huntely-Steffey (1992). and Mace (1997) proposed emphirical rotations between specific capacity and transmissivity in heterogeneous alluvial aquifers. fractured rock aquifers, and karst aquifers. This study focuses on comparison between transmissivity and specific capacity data in volcanic rock aquifers of Jeju Island. Emphirical relation between the log of transmissivity and the log of specific capacity suggests they no linearly related (correlation coefficient 0.951) and the width of $\pm$0.25 log cycles in transmissivity includes 96.6% of data.

A total of 129 surface(upto 30 cm depth) soil samples were selected from the profile samples collected during reconnaissance soil survey in 1967, for the determination of phosphorus absorption co-efficient. The distribution range for each soil association has been established. The physicochemical factors affecting the phosphorus absorption coefficient have also been examined. The following general conclusions can be drown: 1. In general, the phosphorus absorption coefficient of the soil association of presently arable land are lower than the soils which are not in cultivation. 2. The higher the cation exchange capacity of soils, the higher is the phosphorus absorption coefficient. The factors governing phosphorus absorption coefficient in various soil associations are as follows: Parent Material Soil Association Governing Factor Fluvio marine Low Humic Gley Fluvio marine Alluvial Complex Narrow valley Siliceo mafic materials Red-yellow podzolic Redish Siliceo mafic materials Brown Lateritic Clay content Siliceous crystalline materials Lithosols C.E.C. & Clay content Alluvium Low Humic Alluvium Gley Alluvial Organic matter Siliceous crystalline materials Red-Yellow Podzolic Organic matter and clay content 4. The relation between phosphorus absorption coefficient determined by $(NH_4)_2HPO_4(y)$ and by the P 700 ppm $NaH_2PO_4(x)$ is $Y=2.716X+37(r=0.96^{**})$ which shows highly significant positive correlation and linear regression.

The lower portion of sloping paddy fields normally contains excessive moisture and the higher water table caused by the inflow of ground water from the upper part of the field resulting in non-uniform water content distribution. Four drainage methods namely Open Ditch, Vinyl Barrier, Pipe Drainage and Tube Bundle for multiple land use were installed within 1-m position from the lower edge of the upper embankment of sloping alluvial paddy fields. Knowledge of the spatial variability of soil water properties is of primary importance for management of agricultural lands. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of drainage in the soil on spatial variability of soil water content using the geostatistical analysis. The soil water content was collected by a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) sensor after the installation of subsurface drainage on regular square grid of 80 m at 20 m paddy field located at Oesan-ri, Buk-myeon, Changwon-si in alluvial slopping paddy fields ($35^{\circ}22^{\prime}$ N, $128^{\circ}35^{\prime}$). In order to obtain the most accurate field information, the sampling grid was divided 3 m by 3 m unit mesh by four drainage types. The results showed that spatial variance of soil water content by subsurface drainage was reduced, though yield of soybean showed the same trends. Value of "sill" of soil water content with semivariogram was 9.7 in Pipe Drainage, 86.2 in Open Ditch, and 66.8 in Vinyl Barrier and 15.7 in Tube Bundle.

A field and laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of visible biopores (larger than 0.2 mm in diameter) on the saturated hydraulic conductivity of Bonryang sandy loam (Coarse loamy over sandy, mixed, mesic family of Typic Udifluvents) developed on alluvial plains. The saturated hydraulic conductivity was significantly correlated with the equivalent permeble surface area (EPSA) which was calculated from the number of various sized biopores in the soil observed by naked eye, and negatively correlated with the bulk density. The effect of biopores on the saturated hydraulic conductivity was remarkable in subsoil al though it was not pronounced in plowed layer and sandy substrata. The bulk density was found to be correlated with the number and the EPSA of the visible biopores. A remarkable spatial variability was observed in the number of biopore and the bulk density.

The Gangneung region has an environment suitable for the formation of organic soil, and there is an alluvial layer in which sedimentary sand layers are distributed on the upper and lower parts of the organic soil. In order to evaluate the seismic safety of the railway roadbed passing through the Gangneung area, a railway roadbed and ground model considering the similarity ratio was fabricated, a shaking table test was conducted, and the seismic stability was evaluated by comparing the effective stress analysis results. The applied seismic waves were artificial seismic waves, Gyeongju seismic waves, Borah seismic waves, Nahanni seismic waves, and Tabas seismic waves. It became. Due to the ground reinforcement effect by jet grouting applied to the lower ground of the new roadbed, the displacement of the new roadbed was found to be reduced from a minimum of 33.7% to a maximum of 56.7% compared to the existing roadbed. The shaking table test results were verified by effective stress analysis using the Finn model of the Flac program, and showed a similar trend to the shaking table test values.

Terrace deposits are often encountered in portal areas and tunnels with low overburden. They are challenging to excavate considering their great mechanical and spatial heterogeneity and a very high stiffness contrast within the ground. Terrace deposits are difficult to characterize, considering that samples for laboratory testing are almost unfeasible to obtain, and laboratory tests may not be representative due to scale effects. This paper presents the approach taken for their characterization during the design stage and their posterior validation performed during construction. Lessons learned from several tunnels excavated on terrace deposits on the Bogota-Villavicencio road (central-east Colombia), suggest that based on numerical simulations, laboratory testing and tunnel system behaviour monitoring, an observational approach allows engineers to optimize the excavation and support methods for the encountered ground conditions, resulting in a more economic and safe construction.

This paper presents the probabilistic seismic microzonation of densely populated Kolkata city, situated on the world's largest delta island with very soft alluvial soil deposit. At first probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of Kolkata city was carried out at bedrock level and then ground motion amplification due to sedimentary deposit was computed using one dimensional (1D) wave propagation analysis SHAKE2000. Different maps like fundamental frequency, amplification at fundamental frequency, peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), peak ground displacement (PGD), maximum response spectral acceleration at different time period bands are developed for variety of end users, structural and geotechnical engineers, land use planners, emergency managers and awareness of general public. The probabilistically predicted PGA at bedrock level is 0.12 g for 50% exceedance in 50 years and maximum PGA at surface level it varies from 0.095 g to 0.18 g for same probability of exceedance. The scenario of simulated ground motion revealed that Kolkata city is very much prone to damage during earthquake.

Millet and sorghum are major dryland cereal crops, however their growth and productivity is limited by soil water stress with varying intensity. The major objective of this study was to evaluate water stress of millet and sorghum yield under drainage classes of poorly drained soil and to test the effect of the installed pipe drainage in poorly drained paddy soil to minimize crop stress. The research was carried out in poorly drained paddy fields located at alluvial slopping area resulting in non-uniform water content distribution by the inflow of ground water from the upper part of the field. Stress Day Index (SDI) was determined from a stress day factor (SD) and a crop susceptibility factor (CS). SD is a degree of measurement by calculating the daily sum of excess water in the profile above 30cm soil depth ($SEW_{30}$). CS depends on a given excess water on crop stage. The results showed that sum of excess water day ($SWD_{30}$) used to represent the moisture stress index was lower on somewhat poorly drained soil compared with poorly drained soil on 117 days. CS values for sorghum were 57% on $3^{rd}$ leaf stage, 44% on $5^{th}$ leaf stage, 37% on panicle initiation, 23% on boot stage, and 16% on soft dough stage. For proso millet CS values were 84% on $3^{rd}$ leaf stage, 70% on $5^{th}$ leaf Stage, 65% on panicle initiation, 53% on boot stage, and 28% on soft dough stage. And for foxtail millet the values were 73% on $3^{rd}$ leaf stage, 61% on $5^{th}$ leaf stage, 50% on panicle initiation, 29% on boot stage, and 15% on soft dough stage. SDI of sorghum and millet was more susceptible to excess soil water during panicle initation stage more poorly drained soil than somewhat poorly drained soil. Grain yield was reduced especially in proso millet and Foxtail millet compared to Sorghum.
