| Abstract | Contrary to a prevailing assumption in geotechnical engineering, soils can exhibit low wettability. Water repellent behaviour has been identified in contaminated, engineered and natural soils, and waste. Despite research on the hydrological implications of naturally-occurring soil water repellency such as reduced infiltration, enhancement of soil erodibility by wind and water and post-wildfire debris flows, very little is known on the influence of water repellency on soil behaviour. Drawing from research in soil science where water repellency is widely recognised, early results linking wettability (through contact angles) to some soil physical properties and processes will be presented, including potential applications to natural and infrastructure slopes. |
