Variability of Furrow Infiltration and Estimated Infiltration Parameters in a Macroporous Soil

Understanding the spatial and temporal variations of infiltration in furrows is essential for the design and management of furrow irrigation systems. A key difficulty in quantifying the process is that infiltration depends on the depth of flow, which varies along a furrow and with time. An additional difficulty is that under many field conditions, a large fraction of the infiltrated water flows through cracks and/or macropores. This study...
