Analytical Solutions for Surface Irrigation. II: Variable Infiltration Rate
Publication: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Volume 114, Issue 1
Abstract
A variable infiltration rate model for surface irrigation is developed. The derivations and the forms of the equations used are similar to the case where the infiltration rate is constant. A mean infiltration rate is assumed to vary from to Expressions for the mean infiltration rate are derived for the advance and storage phases using Horton, Kostiakov, and the modified Kostiakov infiltration equations. The model is then tested using field data.
