abstract The ACCESS-II hydrological submodel is inherently one dimensional, it models a vertical water movement in the soil profile. Extension of this model to account for a bypass flow through cracks or macro-pores has been done using a horizontal flow model. The main problem is to incorporate a horizontal flow submodel into the ACCESS-II in order to take into account the most important features of bypass flow phenomenon.
