use of the double ring infiltrometer to measure soil water infiltration in center pivot irrigation systems is not an accurate approach; because the real conditions of infiltration under center pivot sprinklers is different from what happens in the double ring. in this study, the infiltration parameters were determined under real conditions of a center pivot system. for this purpose, a single ri...

infiltration in furrow irrigation is 2-d which depends on both time and surface characteristics at which infiltration occurs. however, in many furrow irrigation models, infiltration is determined as a function of infiltration time opportunity, assuming the variation of weted perimeter is low along furrow. in order to compare the proposed asumptions, two zero-inertia furrow irrigation models wer...

introduction: the infiltration process is one of the most important components of the hydrologic cycle. quantifying the infiltration water into soil is of great importance in watershed management. prediction of flooding, erosion and pollutant transport all depends on the rate of runoff which is directly affected by the rate of infiltration. quantification of infiltration water into soil is also...

Understanding the basic runoff processes in the Ethiopian highlands is vital for effective management and utilization of water resources and soil conservation planning. An important question for judging effectiveness of conservation practices is whether runoff is affected by ecology (mainly type of crop) or topography (landscape). A study was conducted in the 113 ha watershed of Maybar, located...
