Description:	Irrigation of crops with subsurface drip (SDI) continues to increase in the Texas High Plains (THP). However, lnformation on the effect of drip-tape positioning and irrigation strategies on the wetted soil area (WSA) is needed to optimize rainwater harvesting under limited well capacities, which are characteristics of the THP. The objectives of this work were: i) to experimentally validate the Hydrus-2D/3D in an Amarillo soil series and the semi-arid climate of THP, and ii) use the validated model to explore different irrigation frequency and timing strategies for cotton irrigated with SDI on alternate rows.
