Original scientific paper In this paper a numerical model was used to evaluate water flow in free drainage lysimeters with respect to soil anisotropy (hydraulic conductivity). Lysimeters were installed in undisturbed soil profile on two soil types with different anisotropy (low and high). The soil types were classified as Luvic Stagnic Phaeozem Siltic and Haplic Gleysol Calcaric Eutric Siltic. ...

Modeling the contaminant transport process in soils requires the solute transport parameters. Displacement experiments were carried out on soil columns (Sand – Silt – Clay) by injecting a solution of 0.8 M KCl in a steady state. Breakthrough curves are symmetrical, characteristics of an equilibrium solute transport. The hydrodynamic dispersion coefficients were estimated by optimizing the measu...

Nitrate leaching through soil layers to groundwater may cause significant degradation of natural resources. The aims this study were: (i) estimate hydraulic properties (SHPs) the similar type with same management on various locations; (ii) determine annual water dynamics; and (iii) impact subsoil horizon nitrate leaching. final goal was compare influence different SHPs layering dynamics conduct...
