FIG. 5. Breakthrough curves calculated using the Mobile–Immobile Water Model for a 10-cm-long soil column and the following parameters: q = 3 cm d–1, {theta} = 0.5, {lambda}mo = 1 cm, Kd = 1 cm3 g–1, {rho}b = 1.5 g cm–3. On the left: fmo = 0.6, {theta}mo = 0.3, {theta}im = 0.2, and {omega}mim = 0.1, 0.5, 10 d–1. On the right: {omega}mim = 0.5 d–1 and (a) fmo = 0.4, {theta}mo = 0.2, {theta}im = 0.3; (b) fmo = 0.6, {theta}mo = 0.3, {theta}im = 0.2; and (c) fmo = 0.8, {theta}mo = 0.4, {theta}im = 0.1.
