Measurement of soil water retention curves (SWRCs) is time consuming, and there is no
single laboratory device available to measure a SWRC over an entire range of relevant …

Soil hydraulic characterization is crucial to describe the retention and transport of water in
soil, but current methodologies limit its spatial applicability. This paper presents a cost …

Soil hydraulic properties quantify soil pore structure and are essential input parameters for
simulating soil hydrological processes in the vadose zone. Although methods have been …

This paper presents a new laboratory method to simultaneously estimate K s and α and n
parameters of the van Genuchten (1980) θ (h) from the inverse analysis of an upward …

Soil water infiltration can be described with the quasi-analytical Haverkamp et al.(1994)
equation, defined by the hydraulic conductivity (K s), sorptivity (S) and the β parameter. K s …

The quasi-exact implicit (QEI) analytical formulation of Haverkamp equation, which might be
also known as Parlange model, and its one-and two-term approximate expansions are …

Determination of the saturated hydraulic conductivity, K s, and the water retention curve, θ
(h), is of paramount importance to characterize the hydraulic behavior of the vadose zone …

Soil water retention curves (SWRCs) are crucial for characterizing soil moisture dynamics,
and are particularly relevant in the context of irrigation management. Inverse modelling is …

Estimation of soil sorptivity (S) and hydraulic conductivity (K) is fundamental to model the
water infiltration into the soil. This process can be affected by soil water repellency, which is …

Estimating of soil sorptivity (S) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K s) parameters by field
infiltration tests are widespread due to the ease of the experimental protocol and data …
