Numerical solution of the one‐dimensional Richards equation (RE) accurately partitions
precipitation into infiltration and runoff in capillary dominated soils. However, its application …

In the design of permeable stormwater channels, the ability to quantify infiltration rates
accurately is important for assessing the capability of such channels to perform their …

Different regression-based machine learning techniques, including support vector machine
(SVM), random forest (RF), Bagged trees algorithm (BaT), and Boosting trees algorithm …

A three‐layer capillary barrier soil cover has been recently proposed for minimizing
rainwater percolation in humid climates. Its performance has been preliminarily investigated …

We develop a new analytical infiltration model to determine water flow dynamics around
layer interfaces during infiltration process in layered soils. The model mainly involves the …

ABSTRACT The Green-Ampt (GA) model has been widely used to evaluate soil water
infiltration. While a simple piston profile is commonly used, the wetting profile of a soil …

Water infiltration in unsaturated soil is significantly affected by multi-stage characteristics that
depend on the movement of the wetting front. We modified the Green-Ampt model to …

Plastic-film mulching plays an important role in farming practice and acts as a barrier to soil
surface. Residual plastic film (RPF) affects the water and nutrient flow in the soil. A column …

Biochar is an eco-friendly material that is potentially used in earthworks to prevent stability
and serviceability problems under extreme scenarios. This study aims to examine the effects …

Core Ideas A new infiltration model based on characteristics of wetting front was developed.
The model describes evolution of water content by ordinary differential equation. Infiltration …
