Is there a model that I can use to estimate the long term effect of irrigation water salinity on the soil after several seasons of irrigation, which puts in consideration the crop pattern planted and the quantity of water used in the area? Can such model give a projection for the long-term effect of saline accumulation? What other factors should this model include?
Provided that your goal can be rephrased like this cite:
According to the climate conditions, crop growth, irrigation, or fallow period, a year can be divided into 1–4 simulation seasons, and the length of each season can be determined according to its continuous month. In the vertical direction, the soil profile is divided into four layers: Surface reservoir, root zone, transition zone, and aquifer (Figure 2). Each layer has a water and salt balance equation, which is based on the water balance equation of each layer and its salt content.
Then the SAHYSMOD is your model here
