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.
