This lecture covers the simulation of water transfers using the Richards equation, focusing on pressure load and water content. It explains the capillary capacity and diffusivity, numerical methods for solving the equation, boundary conditions, and the effects of irrigation. The lecture also discusses the hydraulic functions of soil, root extraction, and experimental studies of soil-water exchanges.
