Solute transport by water path flow through unsaturated media was examined by experiments and simulations. Experimental results showed that solute transportedthrough wider water path of higher fractal dimension for smaller glassbead layer (<0.84mm) than for bigger one, and that the change of solute concentration in water path was small.Simulation results showed that the ‘water path invasion model’ could produce similar water paths to experimental ones when the angle of contact was set to be 87°and degree of saturation was set to be similar to those of experiments.
