All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this study was to develop a model to predict water extraction patterns and therefore salt distribution patterns in a one dimensional homogeneous soil profile for a specified root distribution.
Water extraction was simulated as a function of the total potential and the root density at any level of the profile.
Salt redistribution caused by irrigation was simulated by assuming a partial and proportional displacement of the water in each soil layer.
A computer program was written for the model in Fortran language and implemented on the Vax. To evaluate the performance of the model, test studies were …
