Infiltration General Process of water penetrating from ground into soil Factors affecting Condition of soil surface, vegetative cover, soil properties, hydraulic conductivity, antecedent soil moisture Four zones Saturated, transmission, wetting, and wetting front depth Wetting Zone Transmission Zone Transition Zone Saturation Zone Wetting Front q

Infiltration Infiltration rate, f(t) Cumulative infiltration, F(t) Rate at which water enters the soil at the surface (in/hr or cm/hr) Cumulative infiltration, F(t) Accumulated depth of water infiltrating during given time period f, F F f t

Infiltration Methods Horton and Phillips Green – Ampt Infiltration models developed as approximate solutions of an exact theory (Richard’s Equation) Green – Ampt Infiltration model developed from an approximate theory to an exact solution

Green-Ampt Assumptions = increase in moisture content as wetting front passes Ponded Water Ground Surface Wetted Zone = Suction head at “sharp” wetting front Conductivity, K = Wetted depth Wetting Front = Conductivity in wetted zone = Depth of water ponding on surface (small) Dry Soil

Green-Ampt Soil Water Variables = moisture content (volume of water/total volume of soil) Wetted Zone Wetting Front Ground Surface Dry Soil = initial moisture content of dry soil before infiltration happens = increase in moisture content as wetting front passes = residual water content of very dry soil = effective porosity = porosity n = ϴ 𝑟 + ϴ 𝑒 n = ϴ 𝑖 + Dϴ

Initial Effective Saturation Initial effective saturation 0 ≤ Se ≤ 1 Effective porosity

Example Determine the infiltration rate and the cumulative infiltration after 1 hour on a clay loam soil with initial effective saturation of 30%. Assume water is ponded instantaneously on the surface Parameters: Texture Porosity n Residual Porosity ϴr Effective Porosity ϴe Suction Head ψ (cm) Conductivity K (cm/hr) Clay Loam 0.464 0.155 0.309 20.88 0.10

Solution Use Excel Solver

Ponding time Elapsed time between the time rainfall begins and the time water begins to pond on the soil surface (tp)

Ponding Time Potential Infiltration Actual Infiltration Rainfall Accumulated Time Infiltration rate, f Cumulative Infiltration, F Up to the time of ponding, all rainfall has infiltrated (i = rainfall rate)

Example Clay Loam soil, 30% effective saturation, rainfall 1 cm/hr intensity What is the ponding time, and cumulative infiltration at ponding? How long does it take to infiltrate 2 cm of water? What is the infiltration rate at that time?

Infiltration after ponding has occured At ponding time, tp, the cumulative infiltration is equal to the amount of rainfall that has fallen up to that time, Fp = i*tp After that time, the cumulative infiltration is given by 𝐹−𝐹 𝑝 −ψ∆θ𝑙𝑛 ψ∆θ+𝐹 ψ∆θ+ 𝐹 𝑝 =K(t− 𝑡 𝑝 )
