Saturated and residual water content, θsand θr, respectively; van Genuchten shape parameters, α and n; pore connectivity parameter λ; and saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks. For the soil, a bimodal θ(ψ) relation (Durner, 1994) was used. Asterisk indicates the saturated hydraulic conductivity of paraffin for the scenario SC.
