Abstract: It is important to understand soil hydraulic properties in order to predict the
movement of water and solutes such as pollutants. To this end, 55 soil samples were collected
from different areas of the Nanxiaohegou basin and used to generate soil-water characteristic
curves. These were then fitted using the power-, exponential-, and logarithmic versions of the
Gardner model; the logarithmic model yielded the best fit overall. The logarithmic model was
further simplified to yield a one-parameter model for estimating the soil-water characteristic
curve within the basin, and it was demonstrated that the value of the single parameter is
dependent on the topography and usage of the land. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications,
