Abstract

The infiltration of water into the soil was investigated by many researchers using both theoretical and experimental approaches. While the ponded infiltration more or less can also be treated with analytical methods, the unsaturated infiltration can generally be solved only by numerical procedures. Unfortunately, the latter method provides no generally valid relatonships. Based on the analysis of the wetting front and on experimental results, some general relatonships were established to calculate the equilibrium moisture content corresponding to a given water flux.
