A new model for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated porous media

Y. Mualem
- 01 Jun 1976 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytic model is proposed which predicts the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves by using the moisture content-capillary head curve and the measured value of the hydraulic conductivities at saturation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigating soil moisture-climate interactions in a changing climate: A review

Sonia I. Seneviratne, +7 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a synthesis of past research on the role of soil moisture for the climate system, based both on modelling and observational studies, focusing on soil moisture-temperature and soil moistureprecipitation feedbacks, and their possible modifications with climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple hydrologically based model of land surface water and energy fluxes for general circulation models

Xu Liang, +3 more
- 20 Jul 1994 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the single soil layer variable infiltration capacity (VIC) land surface hydrological model previously implemented in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) general circulation model (GCM) is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equations for the soil-water characteristic curve

Delwyn G. Fredlund, +1 more
- 01 Aug 1994 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear, least squares computer program is used to determine the best-fit parameters for experimental data presented in the literature, based on the assumption that the shape of the soil-water characteristic curve is dependent upon the pore-size distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developing joint probability distributions of soil water retention characteristics

Robert F. Carsel, +1 more
- 01 May 1988 - 
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.
