| Abstract |
The effluent concentration curves of homogeneous and stratified soil profiles were satisfactorily predicted from results obtained by leaching a scaled model which met theoretical requirements. The salt distribution within a homogeneous soil profile, at the moment the wetting first reached the bottom was predicted from the effluent concentration data obtained from a similar profile. Also, the effluent concentration curve from leading a uniform soil profile was predicted from the salt distribution within the profile. Laboratory results suggest that modeling profiles according to the design conditions specified by the theory can be useful in predicting quality changes of irrigation return flows. (Author) |
