Experiments were conducted in wheat planted in microplots at Hisar and Sirsa in Haryana State, India, to observe and simulate the depth distribution of moisture content, electrical conductivity in 1:2 soil-water extract (EC 1:2), and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) of soils after irrigation with water of high electrical conductivity (12-19 dS/m) and sodium absorption ratio (20-80 (mmol/1)). The three simulation models used differed in the procedure of estimation of evapotranspiration (models I and II, Reddy 1983; model III Arora et al. 1987). In general, the means of the experimental moisture content profiles decreased and those of EC 1:2 and ESP increased with irrigation at both locations. Statistical analysis showed an overall good agreement between the experimental and simulated values of moisture content, EC 1:2 and ESP; the accuracy of simulation of the models followed the order model II=model III> model I, for moisture content and EC 1:2, but was identical for ESP.
