Simulatie van wateropname in SWAP-WOFOST: van een empirische naar een mechanistische beschrijving

Water uptake or transpiration by plants in (agro)hydrological studies is a corecomponent in the water balance. A good description of this process in simu-lation models is therefore desirable. Especially now that we are facing moreprolonged droughts during the growing season and increasing trends in pre-cipitation deficit, and also in studies involving control of (precision) irrigationbased on modelled water uptake. In this paper, we show that a mechanisticdescription of the water transport process to the root wall allows more water tobe taken up than the classical empirical Feddes concept used in simulation mod-els. According to these mechanistic concepts, water uptake is a function of bothcrop parameters and soil properties.
