Infiltration rate is one of the most important parameters used in irrigation water management. Direct measurement of infiltration process is laborious, time consuming and expensive. Therefore, in this study application of some indirect methods such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) for prediction of this phenomenon was investigated. Different ANNs structures including two training algorithms...

Use of the double ring infiltrometer to measure soil water infiltration in center pivot irrigation systems isn’t an accurate approach because the real conditions of infiltration under center pivot sprinklers is different from what happens in the double ring. In this study the infiltration parameters were evaluated in real conditions of a center pivot system. For this purpose a single ring...

study of soil quality indicators were considered as a useful method in the land use management. changing the land use affect soil hydrological processes such as water infiltration process. spatial variation of water infiltration in soil plays a very important role in hydrologic processes. variability of this process is affected by the inherent and non-inherent characters of the lands. in order ...

abstract infiltration is one of the most important phenomena which is affected by the soil physical and hydraulic characteristics. measurement of infiltration needs the high cost and is time consuming, therefore estimation of infiltration is necessary. also, due to variability of soil moisture, it is important to determine the appropriate model for the estimating the infiltration rate. the pres...
