Soil–water characterictic curve (SWCC) for FMC Kaolin

As the world's population has grown and become more urban and affluent, waste production has risen tenfold. Discarded materials are collected, some are recycled or composted, and most are landfilled or incinerated. But in spite of the aggressive economic development, the waste management is rel...
