Synopsis

Infiltration of water into soils is one of the fascinating research areas in soil physics and hydrology disciplines. Infiltration of muddy water into soils: Modelling and Applications represents a major contribution of the author in addressing a crucial global agricultural issue, and is perfect for anyone involved in the areas of soil science, hydrology, agricultural/civil engineering, agronomy etc. Although no single infiltration model has been universally accepted and/or validated, the model discussed herein provides an advanced understanding of the behaviour of water in the soil environment in real field situations. Following the introductory chapter, the most common infiltration models have been extensively discussed, and the details of the development of a physically-based model to describe the mechanism of muddy water infiltration (MGASS Infiltration model), estimation of surface seal thickness and time-to-incipient ponding have also been presented. One of the book’s features is its numerous cross-references. Thus, it creates an outstanding self-teaching tool and reference source for Professors, Students, Practicing Engineers, Soil Scientists, Hydrologists etc.
