- Abstract
- WAVE (Water and Agrochemicals in soil, crop and Vadose Environment) is a software package developed by the Institute for Land and Water Management of the K.U.Leuven (Belgium) and the Department of Environmental Sciences and Land Management (Unité Génie Rural) of the Université Catholique de Louvain. The objetive of the model is to describe the transport and transformations of matter and energy in the soil, crop and vadose environment. It simulates the behavior of water, heat, non-reactive solutes, nitrogen and pesticide species in the soil-crop continuum. The current version of the model integrates several packages developed earlier: i) a revised version of the SWATNIT-model (Vereecken et al., 1990; 1991), which integrates the SWATRER-model (Feddes et al., 1978; Belmans et al., 1983; Dierckx et al, 1986), a heat and solute transport model based on the LEACHN-model (Wagenet and Hutson, 1989), and a nitrogen turn-over routine; ii) the universal crop growth model SUCROS (van Keulen et al., 1982; Spitters et al., 1988); and iii) a pesticide fate model. The program is written in FORTRAN 77 and can be run either under UNIX or MS-DOS platforms. Although the program can be run on 486-based computers, Pentium processors are recommended.
