Abstract: Surface applied pollutant washout from rainfall runoff is recognized as a major source of water pollution. Contaminants originating from agricultural activities such as pesticides, fertilizers and weedicides may be transported during runoff and join the river system to cause surface water pollution and/or infiltrate into the ground to cause groundwater pollution. Simulation of pollutant transport in overland flow with the effects of infiltration, rainfall and solubility incorporated into a comprehensive model has not received much attention.
