Water flow studies on a 1.5 ha irrigated plot in the Segdoud Oasis (Southern Tunisia), quantified the processes affecting surface drainage and groundwater levels and causing salinisation of soil and water. The distributed mode MAPIRA model was used to simulate the flow process (including infiltration, percolation, capillary rise, artificial drainage, underground flow and evapotranspiration). The model was calibrated against the observed piezometric levels and drain flow data.
