Abstract


For efficient management of water in any region, thorough knowledge of soil moisture movement in that region is very essential. The three methods of soil moisture movement are infiltration percolation and capillary movement. Infiltration has been defined as the downward entry of water into soil. Infiltration rates of soil are needed for run off determination and for application of irrigation water tc agricultural lands. Measurement of infiltration when made in the field gives valuable information as some field conditions which affect infiltration cannot be reproduced in the laboratory.
