soil water retention curve (swrc) is important in the studies of soil and water relationship, soil conservation, irrigation scheduling, drainage, solute transport, plant growth and crop water stress. the performance of 10 models (simons et al., libardy et al., campbell, farrell and larson, van genuchten, brooks and corey, driessen, exponential bruce-luxmore, power bruce-luxmore, and rogowski) w...

Soil-water characteristic curves were determined for Krome calcareous very gravelly loam soil in the laboratory and in situ in an orchard. In the laboratory, soil-water retention was determined with a pressure plate and pressure Tempe cells for soil collected from vegetable fields. In the orchard, soil-water suction measured with tensiometers was compared to volumetric soil-water content (E) de...

ABSTRACT: The physical and chemical characteristics of a soil determine its hydraulic properties, such as conductivity, infiltration, moisture. Due to the usefulness soil's moisture retention characteristic curve, several methodologies have been developed obtain it. Mathematical models for prediction this property constitute type that is economical very affordable. One most practical model Arya...

The field of unsaturated soil mechanics has recently seen the introduction pore network models, which attempt to replicate void structure porous materials. They are robust physically-based simulation tools and have been used simulate constitutive relationships like water retention curves (SWRC) hydraulic conductivity functions. This work aims present a networkmodeling approach for predicting hy...
