Abstract

Infiltration is one of the properties of soil related to application of water either in the form of irrigation or rainfall. Infiltration plays major role in water holding capacity of soil, runoff generation, soil physical properties, plant root development and ground water recharge. Infiltrometer is majorly used to measure the rate of water entry into the soil. In addition, researchers have developed some empirical models to quantify the soil infiltration rates.
