    Uploaded by

    Stanley Grandall
    This document provides instructions for setting up and running several simulations using Hydrus 1D: 1) An infiltration simulation in a large soil column with homogeneous properties. 2) A parameter study modifying the first simulation to include heterogeneous soil properties. 3) A drainage simulation modifying the infiltration simulation to simulate drainage over a long time period. 4) A solute transport simulation is set up by modifying the infiltration simulation to include solute transport and different initial and boundary conditions for the solute.
