Analytical Solutions for Surface Irrigation. I: Constant Infiltration Rate
Publication: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Volume 114, Issue 1
Abstract
The general problem of advance and recession of irrigation water on an initially dry surface is formulated using the kinematic‐wave theory. In this part of the study, the infiltration rate is assumed constant in time and space. Analytical solutions for the advance and recession are used to derive expressions for volumes in surface storage and cumulative volumes of infiltration and runoff during all phases of one irrigation cycle. This comprehensive analytical model is then tested using field data. Its usefulness and limitations are discussed.
