Abstract
A numerical model for an unsaturated soil water now equation is established with a mixed finite element method. This model can be applied to simulatin g soil moisture content and flux in the processes of infiltration, evaporat ion, evapotranspiration, redistribution and their alternate appearing in an unsaturated zone. It can also be applied to a high-resolution land surface model.
