Abstract

We examine solutions for solute transport using the convection-dispersion equation (CDE) during steady evaporation from a water table. It is common, when solving the CDE, to first approximate the volumetric water content of the soil as a constant. Here, we assume a reasonable function for the water content profile and construct realistic nonlinear hydraulic transport properties. Both classical and nonclassical symmetry techniques are employed. Invariant solutions are obtained for the one dimensional CDE even with a nontrivial background profile for volumetric water content.
