Qualitative validation of pollutant transport components of an unsaturated soil zone model (SESOIL)
Model predictions of a revised version of the soil compartment model SESOIL are compared with empirical measurements of pollutant transport in soil. A description of SESOIL is given, and modifications to the model are presented. Comparisons are performed using data from a laboratory soil column study involving six chemicals (dicamba, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, atrazine, diazinon, pentachlorophenol, and lindane) and data from three field studies involving the transport of aldicarb and atrazine. Model performance and limitations are discussed. 32 refs., 15 figs., 7 tabs.
