Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of horizontal advance of irrigation water as related to the infiltration characteristics of soils. The specific objectives were to:(a) design and operate an irrigation model to determine the horizontal advance of water on the surface for different porous media with different infiltration characteristics and for different conditions of surface slope and roughness, ( b ) compare mathematical solutions with model data, (c) use dimensionless functions to represent the model data and (d) use various infiltration equation to develop theoretical curves for the horizontal advance of flooding irrigation water on the surface of scil.
