Characterizing unsaturated solute transport by simultaneous use of dye and bromide
Variability in solute transport properties in the unsaturated zone is of growing concern due to environmental hazards. By combining dye and salt tracers, a detailed description of the solute transport can be made in both time and space. In this paper, qualitative and quantitative effects of preferential flow were investigated in a sandy loam. The experimental site was equipped with 64 TDR probes.
