7 7 Comparison of SMAPs Sorensen et al. (2014) compared four different soil moisture accounting procedures (SMAP). This example is for water content (in mm) for a 3m profile at Beche Park Wood. Water content is quite similar for each model but recharge rates are more varying. Only JULES predicts recharge during periods of soil moisture deficit. (mm) (Sorensen et al., 2014, Hydrol. Proc. 28: )

Hydraulic conductivity, pressure head and E a / E p are treated as empirical functions of moisture content at each node.

11 US Salinity Laboratory: ROSETTA Model 11 % Sand % Silt % Clay Artificial neural network based on results of drainage experiments from thousands of different soil samples. θ θ S s r e K α η n s The ROSETTA model is an example of a so-called pedotransfer function, which seeks to transform soil texture information into hydraulic properties that describe how water flows through the associated pore structure. Note that % Sand + % Silt + % Clay = 100%. Therefore a soil can be described by just 2 parameters (e.g. % Sand and % Silt). ROSETTA model allows the 7 van Genuchten parameters to be obtained from just 2. (for more information see Schaap et al., 2001, J. Hydrol. 251: )

Optimal conditions: Plant is transpiring at the potential rate. ψ d Pressure head ψ a Anaerobiosis: The soil is so wet that the roots are unable to access oxygen and the plant is unable to transpire.

27 Obtaining the other parameters 27 In addition to the parameters that can be obtained from ROSETTA, the new SMAP also requires the following additional parameters for a given soil texture: Infiltration capacity, q ic Storage capacity available for plant uptake, Θ pu Depth of water at which plant wilting occurs, Θ w Residence of the lower water store, T r These four parameters were determined by calibrating the new SMAP to percolation data from the Richards equation (RE) model for 231 different soil textures. The RE model was simulated using weather data from 1961 to The SMAP was calibrated using data from 1964 to The SMAP was then validated using data from 1984 to 1998.

43 Conclusions The soil textural triangle is an interesting medium to study vertical percolation behaviour of different soil types. Homogenous Richards equation recharge models can be effectively emulated by simple store models in conjunction with pressure head and hydraulic conductivity relationships with water saturation. A proposed new soil moisture accounting procedure (SMAP) resulting from this work, parameterised only in terms of soil texture, has been shown to efficiently forecast observed soil moisture data from four field sites. Percolation rates are less well constrained than water content. The new SMAP is more simple than RE type approaches such as JULES but more realistic than other simple approaches such as FAO56. The new SMAP is advocated for use in future groundwater recharge studies. 43
