abstract infiltration is a significant process which controls the fate of water in the hydrologic cycle. the direct measurement of infiltration is time consuming, expensive and often impractical because of the large spatial and temporal variability. artificial neural networks (anns) are used as an indirect method to predict the hydrological processes. the objective of this study was to develop ...

introduction soil infiltration rate is the major soil hydraulic property which can be affected by the soil physical characteristics and management practices. the use of land can affect various soil properties such as physical and hydraulic properties. differences of the hydraulic soil characteristics such as infiltration rate in various land uses can affect their potential to runoff production ...

Over the years, cultivation using sustainable tillage practices has gained significant importance, but impact of on soil water infiltration is still a concern for landowners due to possible effects crop yield. This study investigates different managements rate sandy clay loam under semiarid environment. Field experiments were conducted in Chott Mariem Sousse, Tunisia. The consisted three treatm...

abstract aeration is conducted on the perennial grasses such as lawns to reduce soil compaction and enhances the growth as well as improves soil infiltration. in order to evaluate the effects of aeration and topdressing on water infiltration phenomenon in a perennial lawn a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design was conducted in the city of isfahan in june 2009. aeration, as the...
