Estimation of soil water characteristic curve parameters in different models in light soils [PDF]
In addition to soil water content, soil matric potential is also important for plant growth. Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) or soil moisture characteristic curve describes soil water content and soil matric potential relationship.

Identifying a parameterisation of the soil water retention curve from on-ground GPR measurements [PDF]
We show the potential of on-ground Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) to identify the parameterisation of the soil water retention curve, i.e. its functional form, with a semi-quantitative analysis based on numerical simulations of the radar signal.

Scheduling irrigation using an approach based on the van Genuchten model [PDF]
Abstract Crop irrigation which results in high water use efficiencies typically uses science-based irrigation scheduling tools to determine irrigation application timing and quantities. Although a large variety of sensors are available for measuring soil moisture status, there are a few easy-to-use irrigation scheduling tools which provide a yes/no ...

Parameter estimation of soil water retention curve with Rao-1 algorithm
The soil water retention curve (SWRC) has a significant role in determining the unsaturated properties of soil. A stochastic optimization algorithm named Rao-1 algorithm is employed to estimate the parameters of the SWRC model in this paper.

Moisture‐dependent anisotropy calculations using the van Genuchten–Mualem model
Abstract Variable, moisture‐dependent anisotropy in unsaturated media is an effective, large‐scale (macroscopic) flow property that results from media heterogeneities at a smaller scale. This technical note documents the variable moisture‐dependent anisotropy calculations using a script for the power‐averaging tensorial connectivity ...

Estimation of van Genuchten Equation Parameters in Laboratory and through Inverse Modeling with Hydrus-1D [PDF]
Soil water retention curve (SWRC) becomes important because it guides when and how much to irrigate, optimizing the use of water; can be obtained in the field or laboratory, being commonly determined in the laboratory with porous plate apparatus, and the
