Rice (Oryza spp.) is an important food crop and plays an essential role in food security in the
Sahel region in West Africa. The Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice) Regional Station for the …

Abstract The Green-Ampt (GA) infiltration model is a simplified version of the physically
based full hydrodynamic model, known as the Richards equation. The simplicity and …

A modified Green–Ampt model was developed in this study to describe water infiltration
through a 300-cm long and five-layered soil column. In the modified Green–Ampt model, a …

Subsurface airflow in unsaturated zones induced by natural forcings is of importance in
many environmental and engineering fields, such as environmental remediation, water …

Air entrapment in soil is common in cases of farmland flood irrigation or intense rain. A
simple, physically based model would be more useful than the complex two-phase (gaseous …

The paper studies the application of mathematical modelling of moisture transport as a tool
for assessing the accuracy of measurements in the process of drip irrigation management in …

Summary While Green–Ampt model has been widely used in infiltration calculations through
unsaturated soils, upscaling this model for applications in heterogeneous formations …

Volcanic ash deposition disrupts soil surface hydrology. Our previous study showed that soil
infiltration was reduced eightfold after a volcanic eruption in various land-use systems …

Accurate measurement of infiltration attributes for the soil's surface layer is critical for
understanding the dynamics of soil water in response to rainfall or irrigation. This study used …

Infiltration is often assumed to occur with little or no impedance from the air within the
vadose zone. If this assumption is not valid air counterflow may occur, while the infiltration …
