| Abstract | Abstract. The effect of variable sprinkler water application rates on bare soil and the response of the soil infiltration after exposure to a sequence of irrigation events were investigated. A simple empirical model based on the Kostiakov equation was presented. This model will predict soil infiltration rate under soil type and soil characteristics and a sequence of irrigation events. The validity of the model was tested and supported by the results of laboratory experiments. In addition, the values of the constant k and n in the Kostiakov equation were computed by the model and compared and validated with the measured k and n values. |
