Abstract
During the last several decades, the study of the movement of water and solutes in the
unsaturated zone has become an issue of great significance due to the profound effects
of the physical and chemical processes. In this study, a general methodology has been
developed to evaluate the effect of soil water, and temporal variability in precipitation
and evaporation on the transport of water and solutes in soils by analyzing 20 soil
samples. The analyses were conducted using measurements of precipitation, pressure
head, and water content data from the period of 2016-2017 in Boda village,
Southwestern Hungary. The HYDRUS program was used to analyze and simulate the
data for a period of 225 days. In each location, 4 different soil profiles were chosen
(10cm, 25cm, 50cm, and 115cm). The results of the analyses with the help of the
measured precipitation, and water content input datum shows that during the study
period, the water content of the soil is progressively distributed down from the surface
to the bottom, especially in the period of the winter, it gives an overview for getting
the proper time for the water supply to the crops.
