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
Out of the Ordinary pieces then it is that we are all capable of misplaced zeal and irrationality—and that the gaps between the socially awkward and the sociopath are not as wide as we might think." Ronson's prose in "Out of the Ordinary" is characterized by self-mockery, what the "Times" calls his "charming buffoonery": he writes about having a panic attack when dressed up as Santa for his son. Parents, he says, "are like amateur bomb-disposal officers, forever cutting the wrong wires". A companion volume to "Out of the Ordinary", called "What I Do: More Tales of Everyday Craziness", was published in November 2007.
