Abstract. In this paper, the Adomian's decomposition method (ADM) is considered to solve a fractional advection-dispersion model. This model can be represented if the first order derivative in time is replaced by the Caputo fractional derivative of order $\alpha$ ($0<\alpha\leq1$). In addition, the space derivative orders are replaced by the alternative orders $0<\beta\leq1$ and $1<\gamma\leq2$. The obtained solutions are formulated in a convergent infinite series in terms of Mittage-Leffler functions. Finally, two illustrative examples are introduced to ensure the effectiveness of the used method.
