Abstract
The purpose of this talk is to discuss the formulation and the solution of certain mathematical problems which occur in the investigation of the unsaturated flow of liquids in a porous medium (irrigation) and in the investigation of the behavior of chemicals as well as industrial wastes which are allowed to drain or are pumped into the soil.
