Abstract

Steam condensation system in soil is a new and developing method that is capable of regenerating land using renewable energy. In this method, the supply of water and moisture, is obtained from the air steam transferred directly to the root zone. The method is used to increase the moisture content of different soils improved with organic matter. The results of this study showed that steam condensation has a significant role in increasing soil moisture and has a promising prospect. The moisture content stored in organic soils improved by more than 11% during the experiment. Statistical evaluation of measured data showed that with a 99 percent chance, the method can help to increase soil moisture. Also, with a 99% chance of changing these factors, it's best to increase soil moisture. By changing soil texture with a 95% probability, the best effect can be achieved in increasing moisture content. The results showed that soil with moderate texture, 35% organic matter and steam 45 ° C with coated conducting tube had better conditions than moisture and temperature in comparison with other treatments
