Solute breakthrough was measured with 3 TDR probes inserted into each soil column at three different depths at a 10 minutes time interval. In addition, soil water content and pressure head were measured at 3 different depths. Analytical solute transport models were used to estimate the solute dispersion coefficient and average pore-water velocity from the observed breakthrough curves. The results showed that the analytical solutions were suitable in fitting the observed solute transport. The dispersion coefficient was found to be a function of the soil depth and average pore-water velocity, imposed by the soil water flux. The mobile moisture content on the other hand was not correlated with the average pore-water velocity and the dispersion coefficient.展开更多

This paper focuses on the basic principle of TDR technology and its application in Caijiachuan watershed, the Loess Plateau, China, the composition and structure of a set of TDR-TRIME. The installation, measurement and calibration of TRJME-TDR in the Loess Plateau has been introduced. The factors that can influence the veracity of the measurement by TDR have also been analyzed in the article.展开更多
