In-Depth Information
(a)
the effect of gravity predominates initially, to become nearly negligible after a very long
time;
(b)
the specific flux at the surface is equal to the infiltration rate;
(c)
the hydraulic conductivity is nearly constant at and on the wetting front;
(d)
the water pressure in the top layers of the soil becomes a constant with depth after a very
long time;
(e)
initially, the infiltration volume changes linearly with time.
