Abstract

The objective of this study is the modelling of the root zone soil moisture (RZSM). A model was developed to simulate RZSM at 0-30 or 0-50 cm deep from various components of the surface water budget: irrigation, precipitation, capillarity, evapotranspiration, vapour diffusion and deep percolation.
These water fluxes were derived from direct field measurement.
In particular, we compared two in situ measurement techniques for estimating surface water fluxes, which determine the RZSM. With these data sets, we achieved to simulate the RZSM with an acceptable accuracy at the station scale (RMSE=0.025 m³m^‑3 for wheat and 0.019 m³m^‑3 for raspberry). Temporally, the dynamics of the RZSM is consistent with meteorological and anthropogenic forcing, and precisely follow in situ data during dry periods.
