The quantification of soil infiltration is necessary for the estimation water accessibility in soils plant growth and development. Field tests runs were conducted on agricultural three irrigation sites Northern Ghana. field data fitted into Green Ampt, Kostiakov, Philip, Holtan, Soil Conservation Service Horton models determination unknown model parameters. Regression analysis at 95% confidence...

interrupting the processes which control ecosystem resources has dramatic impacts on the rangeland conditions. to protect ecosystems and landscape, it needs to understand the ecosystem processes which regulate the ecosystem resources. as main components of ecosystems, patches and inter-patches play important roles in energy and materials cascade. ecologically, functional parameters such as stab...

bioretention or rain garden is a preferable low impact development (lid) approach due to its characteristics which reflect natural water cycle processes. however, this system is still little understood and quite complicated in terms of design and implementation due to many technical considerations. hence, this paper gives a review of the challenges and developments for the use of bioretention f...

This article presents the elements involved in the design of a bioretention planter/trench infiltration-detention system as part of a very large-scale urban retrofit project. The prototype system was designed to intercept all of the runoff from a synthetic 5.08-mm 24-h rainfall event. Diverted flows were conveyed into bioretention planter for treatment. The bioretention systems were fingerprint...

The variation in moisture content between subsequent irrigations determines the use of infiltration equations that contain representative physical parameters soil when irrigation begins. This study analyzes reliability hydrodynamic model to simulate advanced phase border irrigation. For solution model, a Lagrangian scheme implicit finite differences is used, while for infiltration, Kostiakov eq...

infiltration is a complex process that changed by initial moisture and water head on the soil surface. the main objective of this study was to estimate the coefficients of infiltration equations, kostiakov-lewis, philip and horton, and evaluate the sensitivity of these equations and their coefficients under various initial conditions (initial moisture soil) and boundary (water head on soil surf...
