• infiltration?


  water on ground enters soil
• percolation?


  downward movement of excess water through soil
• infiltration rate?


  rate at which water enters soil
• infiltration capacity?


  max rate water can enter soil
• cumaltive infiltration?


  total volume water is inflitrated
• plant cover= higher infiltration rate
• measuring infiltration rate?


  disc and tension
• hydraulic conductivity?


  water can move through pore spaces
• darcy's law?


  volumetric flow rate as function of flow area
• darcy's law?


  Q=a(K*h/i)
• increase infiltration? porosity, soil organic matter, plant coverage
