Although the lack of proper analysis methods and investigations tools for soils with a large fraction of coarse grain material was a constraint to the modeling efforts, the sprinkling experiments with simultaneous measurements of soil moisture content, surface runoff, and interflow proved quite useful. The main hydrological processes on the plot scale could be identified and implemented into the different models. In some cases Ground Pentrating Radar and geoelectrical resistivity measurements can be valuable tools for the investigation of ground properties. The modeling results were satisfactory albeit limited by the lack of runoff data for proper validation.
