A Review of HYDRUS 2D/3D Applications for Simulations of Water Dynamics, Root Uptake and Solute Transport in Tree Crops under Drip Irrigation

Orchards with tree crops are of critical importance to the global economy and environment due their ability be productive for many years without need replanting. They also better adapted extreme climatic conditions compared other crops. However, new challenges emerging as climate change threatens both production water supply. Drip irrigation (surface subsurface) is an method that has potential save nutrients by placing directly into root zone minimizing evaporation. Many designs strategies have been tested best perform drip any given soil, crop and/or conditions. The researchers’ find optimal combination management design in most economical effortless way led use comprehensive numerical models such HYDRUS 2D/3D. 2D/3D a widely used mathematical model studying vadose flow transport processes. A review applications simulations dynamics, uptake solute under four common categories (citrus, olive, avocado deciduous fruit/nuts) presented this study. promotes understanding effect different treatments, well reliability provided evaluation above.
