Abstract

Infiltration is the process by which water gets into the surface strata of the earth. Infiltration is a type of precipitation loss, Precipitation is that process by which moisture occur on the ground by the atmosphere. Part of precipitation is lost largely due to evaporation and infiltration. Infiltration capacity is the maximum rate at which soil is capable of absorbing water. There are some methods to determine infiltration capacity of soil like infiltrometer, rainfall simulator, Horton’s infiltration capacity curve and Infiltration Indices. Generally infiltration capacity is the ratio of depth of infiltration to duration of infiltration. This paper presented analysis of estimation process of infiltration capacity of soil.
