Vadose zone - Wikipedia
The vadose zone, also termed the unsaturated zone, is the part of Earth between the land surface and the top of the phreatic zone, the position at which the groundwater (the water in the soil's pores) is at atmospheric pressure ("vadose" is from the Latin word for "shallow").
Vadose Water - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Vadose water refers to the subsurface water located between the land surface and the saturated zone below the water table. It plays a crucial role in the movement of water and substances within the Earth system, impacting various components such as aquifers, land surface, and atmosphere.

Dec 27, 2009 · The vadose (or unsaturated) zone includes soil water, which is immediately available to the biosphere. It acts as a controlling agent in the transmission of water and other substances between various components of the earth system: aquifers, land surface, bodies of water, atmosphere, and so on.

Vadose Water - USGS
Vadose-zone flow is funda-mentally complicated by nonlinearity and hysteresis of unsaturated hydraulic properties, and extreme sen-sitivity to materials and hydraulic conditions. There is much variety in its natural constituents: soils, rocks, water, air, plants, animals, and microorganisms.
Vadose Zone - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The vadose zone is frequently called the unsaturated zone, and sometimes the zone of aeration, as its pore space usually contains air as well as water. The vadose zone extends from the land surface to the water table (the lowest water table if there is more than one).

vadose zone, region of aeration above the water table. This zone also includes the capillary fringe above the water table, the height of which will vary according to the grain size of the sediments.

Vadose Zone Hydrology Basics | SpringerLink
May 8, 2019 · The vadose zone consists of the soil or rock located between land surface and the regional water table and forms the interface between a surficial hydrological system and its underlying aquifer. Vadose zone processes control the rate of recharge in surface-spearding...
Understanding and Predicting Vadose Zone Processes
Sep 1, 2019 · Development of appropriate conceptual models of water flow and chemical transport in the vadose zone is critical for developing adequate predictive modeling methods and designing cost-effective remediation techniques.

Vadose seepage permeates in a diffuse manner, while vadose flow moves along integrated conduits under gravitational influence. Rainwater is mildly acidic and can combine with free hydrogen cations to form carbonic acid.
