Abstract

In the present work, model experiments are carried out to study the vertical distribution of Na-ions in Ca saturated soil columns equili­brated with percolating NaCl solution. The vertical distribution of sodium ions was studied using radio -isotope technique. The obtained results are discussed in the light of different theories and models applied in such cases.
