✦ Synopsis

Information on moisture distribution patterns under point-source trickle emitters is a pre-requisite for the design and operation of trickle-irrigation systems. The distribution pattern is in#uenced by the soil properties and the manner water is applied and withdrawn from the soil pro"le. Flow from a point-source trickle emitter, because of its multi-dimensional nature and high frequency of water application, leads to complexities in modelling soil moisture dynamics. In addition, the plant rooting patterns under such conditions also exhibit drastic variations in withdrawal patterns from those in conventional irrigation practice, thereby making the prediction of the behaviour of moisture patterns quite di$cult. An extensive review is presented of research work pertaining to modelling of various processes associated with moisture distribution patterns under point-source trickle emitters. This review promotes better understanding, facilitates a more rational analysis of the soil water dynamics processes under point-source trickle emitters and helps to identify topics for more emphasis in future modelling activity.

The macropore and micropore domains of a soil system were considered to be hydraulically distinct. Drainage and solute transport through the soil were then characterized by mixed probability distributions. The components of the mixed probability distributions were used to represent the distinct proc
