Simplified stochastic soil-moisture models: a look at infiltration

A simplified, vertically-averaged model of soil moisture interpreted at the daily time scale and forced by a stochastic process of instantaneous rainfall events is compared with a vertically-averaged model which uses a nonoverlapping rectangular pulse rainfall model and a more physically based description of infiltration. The models are compared with respect to the importance of short time-scal...

Traditional and microirrigation with stochastic soil moisture

[1] Achieving a sustainable use of water resources, in view of the increased food and biofuel demand and possible climate change, will require optimizing irrigation, a highly nontrivial task given the unpredictability of rainfall and the numerous soil‐plant‐ atmosphere interactions. Here we theoretically analyze two different irrigation schemes, a traditional scheme, consisting of the applicati...

The Network Process Simulation of Soil-Moisture Infiltration Information System

This paper presents the techniques employed for solutions of the Network Process simulation of Soil-Moisture Infiltration for Soil-Moisture Infiltration Information System. A new approach that uses both enlightened and Random Selection approach is presented to unravel the issues. The usage of random functions comprising of first high value attribute variable and their corresponding combinations...
