The primary source of water for crops and livestock in the United States Central High Plains is irrigation from the Ogallala Aquifer. Due to the semi-arid climate of this region, little rainfall contributes to watering crops, thereby resulting in water scarcity. Reducing the evaporation from soil is one approach to conserve the water. In this study, a soil evaporation chamber was designed and constructed to study the impacts of environmental conditions on evaporation from Ottawa sand. Prior to entering the sand test section, compressed air flow was dried in a desiccator then split in two flows before entering the 57mmx228mmx838mm test section, with one airflow flowing above the 57mm thick sand layer and the other below and, subsequently, flowing through the moist sand layer. The percent relative humidity (RH) was measured at the entrance and exit to record the change in relative humidity and, therefore, water content removed from the sand. Using inlet air mass flow rates of air of approximately 1E-4kg/s–2E-4kg/s, temperatures of 28–31oC, and dry air (i.e. 0–1%RH), exit flows of 19–20oC and 80–85%RH were measured. Measured evaporation rates ranging from 3.0E-6kg/s to 5.0E-6kg/s for soil saturation levels of 55–80.5%.
