Journal ArticleDOI
Developing joint probability distributions of soil water retention characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, a method is presented for developing probability density functions for parameters of soil moisture relationships of capillary head [h(θ)] and hydraulic conductivity [K(α), which are required for the assessment of water flow and solute transport in unsaturated media.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pesticide Root Zone Model (PRZM): A procedure for evaluating pesticide leaching threats to groundwater
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous simulation model that considers interactions of pesticides in surface runoff (in water and on eroded sediment), advection in percolating water, molecular diffusion, dispersion, uptake by plants, sorption to soil, and biological and chemical degradation is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stream Temperature Simulation of Forested Riparian Areas: I. Watershed-Scale Model Development
TL;DR: In this article, a series of computational procedures identifying the geometric relationships among the sun position, stream location and orientation, and riparian shading characteristics were used to develop a computer program called SHADE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approximating Pollutant Transport to Ground Watera
TL;DR: In this article, three models were developed for evaluating the transport of organic pollutants through soil to ground water, including linear sorption, first-order degradation, and nonlinear sorption following a Freundlich equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing the uncertainty of pesticide leaching in agricultural soils
TL;DR: A Monte-Carlo numerical simulation procedure for making regional assessments of pesticide leaching has been developed as discussed by the authors using probability density functions for organic matter, field capacity, and wilting point developed from information on approximately 3000 soils.
