A bypass flow model with a procedure to approximate precipitation intensity

Precipitation and intensity of precipitation are the most important parameters of soil profile water balance. Precipitation values give the information about amount of water reaching the soil surface. Intensity of the precipitation determines the amount of water accumulated in a soil profile and the amount of runoff water. The aim of the paper was to show the importance of consideration of precipitation distribution approximation in water dynamics modelling in soil profile taking into account preferential water flow.
