Abstract
A water balance evaluation was performed to study the hazardous potential for the groundwater of a disposal site for remains of a paper mill. The study is relying on a field measuring site and on a computer simulation. Owing to computer simulations only one field measuring site was necessary for the given task. The observed changes of water content in the soil profile provide input data for the computer model and are used for its calibration. The calibrated simulation model serves as a means for the interpretation of different scenarios, such as variation of soil profile, hydraulic conductivity and plant factors. 1 Introduction A measuring site was established in 1994 to collect parameters for the soil water balance in
