Infiltration: Dr. Toribio Marcos Reyes Rodríguez, PH.D

The document discusses infiltration, which is the process of water penetrating into soil from the ground surface. It examines factors that affect infiltration rate and cumulative infiltration over time. Equations developed by Horton and Philip are presented for modeling infiltration rate and cumulative infiltration as a function of time.
