Model to predict water infiltration and soil moisture profile
01/Apr/2013
Soil water infiltration modeling is an important tool to predict soil water redistribution, soil erosion, aquifer recharge and aquifer contamination. This paper presents a model to simulate soil water infiltration (GAML-c), based on the Green-Ampt-Mein-Larson (GAML) model that provides a description of the geometry and advance of the wetting front in the soil. Experimental infiltration tests were performed in Red-Yellow Oxisol (LVA). GAML-c was evaluated in four scenarios: considering hydraulic conductivity (K0) equal to the stable infiltration rate (Tie) and […]
