Effects of compaction, moisture and depth on the parameters of the kostiakov equation

This report consisted of studying the effects caused by soil physical characteristic, in presence wetness variations and structures-texture fluctuations, to Kostiakov constants. The objectives were investigate wetness, depth, compaction on constants “a”, “b”. experimental unit nine polyvinyl cylinders. Statistical analysis under a randomized block design with three replications factors: five levels, depth (0-15, 15-30 45-60) levels (0, 13 26 blows). relation between instantaneous infiltration versus bulk density inversely proportional. parameter “a” influenced more than Soil texture structure “b” wetness. Wetness depth. parameters exposed relations structure.
