Abstract
Modeling is the basis for any experimental characterization and is therefore a key in the characterization of soil water and chemical fate and transport processes. Before undertaking any process of characterization, it is necessary to use a conceptual model rather than a numerical model. This point of view considers modeling to be the starting point for any soil characterization process. It is important to note that the end result of characterization efforts is to describe how the processes will evolve in space and time through a mathematical model. The characterization process is based on modeling while soil process simulation modeling builds on the results of the soil characterization. This chapter discusses the characterization of water content and soil process.
