Symposium no. 01 Paper no. 1717 Presentation: poster 1717-1

Abstract

The effect of variable sprinkler water application rates on bare soil and the response of the soil infiltration after exposure to a sequence of irrigation events were investigated. A simple empirical model based on the Kostiakov equation was presented. This model will predict soil infiltration rate under variable application rates and a sequence of irrigation events. The validity of the model was tested and supported by the results of laboratory experiments
