Abstract

Flow and solute transport are influenced by variation of initial water content in soil. The aim of this research was to evaluate the results of ponded infiltration experiments developed in laboratory, consisting in three runs with constant pressure head in the top and seepage face at the bottom of soil column. The undisturbed soil was collected from experimental site Korkusova Hut, Czech Republic. For observation of the internal structure of soil was utilized one high-performance computer tomography. The CT images reveal the morphology of potential preferential pathways. The bromide ion breakthrough curves (BTC) was measured by an electrochemical in-line analysis, continuously during the steady state flow. The results obtained shows the variation in time of solute dispersion with initial water saturation.
