- Abstract
- An adaptation of the infiltrating watershed methodology allows for the characterization of soil water retention and transfer parameters. It implies soil water content and water tension profiles measured frequently in order to solve the discretized unsaturated flow equation. The method differs from the water balance approach by avoiding the troublesome boundary conditions such as rainfall, runoff, evapotranspiration and nul flux plane. A computer program called ESCONDU is being tested with the help of the data obtained in 15 stations located in the Dyle river watershed for which a global model called MODYLE is being implemented.
