The digital imaging procedure was conducted to obtain the heteroge- neous distribution pattern of preferential flow paths, and soil sampling was conducted to obtain the heteroge- neous distributions of soil water content and solute concentration in the preferential flow region. The meas- ured distributions of soil water content and solute concentration resulted from preferential flow were simu- lated and predicted using the active region model (ARM) and the mobile-immobile region model (MIM). The modeling efficiency using ARM and MIM were quantitatively evaluated and compared using th
