This study deals with water flow through the rhizosphere during repeated drying and wetting scenarios, simulating the impact of drought events and irrigation. We focus on the effects of mucilage on water repellency in the rhizosphere. Our aim is to quantitatively predict the occurrence of water repellency in this region. Two modelling approaches will be combined to simulate the rhizosphere water dynamics. This project is realized in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Rony Wallach (Hebrew University of Jerusalem).
