Leaching model (soil) Leaching model (soil) A leaching model is a hydrological model by which the leaching with irrigation water of dissolved substances, notably salt, in the soil is described depending on the hydrological regime and the soil's properties. <br> The model may describe the process (1) in time and (2) as a function of amount of water applied. <br> Leaching is often done to "reclaim" saline soil or to "conserve" a favorable salt content of the soil of irrigated land as all irrigation water contains salts. The leaching process in a salty soil to be reclaimed is illustrated in the leaching curves
