Utilization of PVA for reclamation of the salt-affected soils in Northeast Thailand. Part 1: Laboratory experiments

Surface layers of the salt-affected areas in Northeast Thailand were usually thin, sandy and underlain by a dark colored impermeable layer which inhibited desalinization in rainy season. In laboratory, PVA was confirmed to be effective in stabilizing aggregates of layers and was found to suppress ca...

Summary:Surface layers of the salt-affected areas in Northeast Thailand were usually thin, sandy and underlain by a dark colored impermeable layer which inhibited desalinization in rainy season. In laboratory, PVA was confirmed to be effective in stabilizing aggregates of layers and was found to suppress capillary rise of saline water and to promote leaching of both saline and fresh waters. Thus, PVA was expected to help desalinization and suppress erosion in the salt-affected areas.
