Scaling Solute Transport during the Soil-Water Redistribution Process

Large amounts of chemicals are applied in agriculture, industry, and transportation for use in the topsoil.
Chemicals are transported to greater depths, leading to contamination of soils and groundwater.

Fertilizers are a main source of Nitrate contamination

Arsenic concentration in groundwater
USGS: high arsenic concentration in groundwater associated with landfills and
arsenical pesticides is common.

To Manage,
Quantifying Solute Transport in soil is of
paramount importance for a wide range of
environmental and agricultural issues.
Solute Transport is one of the most complex phenomena in vadose zone!!!

The System is highly highly nonlinear
![Page 11: Soil-Water Flow and Solute Transport during Redistribution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/547b4322b4af9f37578b461f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
There are analytical solutions only for simplified
cases (simple hydraulic models, neglecting the
dispersion/diffusion process or solute reaction).
Tedious numerical calculations have to be
repeated for any soils and any initial/boundary
conditions separately.
TO overcome this complexity,
We introduce a method for scaling different
soils into a unique non-dimensional
medium so that one numerical solution of any soil
can be used for many other soils.
![Page 12: Soil-Water Flow and Solute Transport during Redistribution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/547b4322b4af9f37578b461f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Solution to this case is important to manage solutes movement to avoid moving beyond the root zone for use only by plant roots.
Solutes are incorporated in irrigation water
an initial wetted zone is created Irrigation water is redistributed
carrying solutes to deeper depths.

A new method is proposed for scaling coupled water flow and solute transport during soil water redistribution.
The scaled solutions are invariant for a wide range of soils and initial conditions when the scaled exclusion/retardation term, φ, is identical for all the cases.
The invariance of the scaled solutions provides an insight to the factors influencing solute transport.
The new method provides opportunities to easily obtain approximate solutions of the highly non-linear governing equations.
Summary & Conclusions
![Page 24: Soil-Water Flow and Solute Transport during Redistribution](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042613/547b4322b4af9f37578b461f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Future Studies
The new scaling method considers a single irrigation
event. It is worthwhile to apply such a method to
frequent applications of irrigation water to track the
solute front in long run.
So far, we have not been able to do so.
