| Abstract: | In a lysimeter study in the field with soil samples of a Fluvisol the transport of chloride was monitored under high frequency irrigation. The results of this investigation were used for verification of two computer models of different complexity. One was a transient state water and solute movement model the other a simplified steady state model. It was demonstrated that both models predicted nearly equally well the chloride concentrations in the drainage water. For many practical situations, the simple model may be all that is needed to predict the downward movement of solutes in field soils. |
