A simple hysteresis model is reformulated on the basis of the Brooks and Corey equation for the relationship between soil-water content and matric potential. In principle, the method requires the knowledge of a drying curve (boundary or primary) to predict the wetting boundary and all scanning curves. Experimental observations used recently to assess a variety of soil-water hysteresis models show that the present model is simple, accurate and general.
