  abstract = {{S}oil hydraulic parameters ({SHP}s) required as inputs for numerical models are scarce in {S}ahelian regions. {I}nstead, they are estimated using pedotransfer functions ({PTF}s), but their ability to simulate soil water dynamics has not been evaluated. {T}his study aims to parameterize {SHP}s with seven different {PTF}s and inverse modelling to examine their ability to simulate water fluxes in {S}enegal's {G}roundnut basin. {W}e used four years of field measurements of soil water content ({SWC}) and actual evapotranspiration ({ET}a) under pearl millet and groundnut crop rotation for model evaluation. {I}nverse modelling for {SWC} (root mean square error [{RMSE}] <= 0.015 cm(3) cm(-3)) and {ET}a ({RMSE} <= 0.62 mm d(-1)) yielded the best model performance compared to {PTF}s (0.024-0.175 cm(3) cm(-3) and 0.68-0.96 mm d(-1), respectively). {W}here field measurements are lacking for inverse estimation, three of the seven tested {PTF}s yielded good modelling results and could be used as a parsimonious approach for cultivated {S}ahelian soils.},
