Infiltration Experiment

AbstractPreferential movement of water in macropores plays an important role when the process of ponded infiltration in natural porous systems is studied. For example, the detailed knowledge of water flow through macropores is of a major importance when predicting runoff responses to rainfall events. The main objectives of this study are to detect preferential movement of water in Chernozem soil and to employ numerical modeling to describe the variably saturated flow during a field ponded infiltration experiment. The infiltration experiment was performed at the Macov experimental station (Calcari-Haplic Chernozem in Danubian Lowland, Slovakia). The experiment involved single ring ponded infiltration. At the quasi steady state phase of the experiment dye tracer was added to the infiltrating water. Then the soil profile was excavated and the penetration pattern of the applied tracer was recorded. The abundance of biopores as a product of fauna and flora was found. To quantify the preferential flow effects during the infiltration experiment, three-dimensional axisymmetric simulations were carried out by a two-dimensional dual-continuum numerical model. The water flow simulations based on measured hydraulic characteristics without consideration of preferential flow effects failed to describe the infiltration experiment adequately. The 3D axisymmetric simulation based on dual-permeability approach provided relatively realistic space-time distribution of soil water pressure below the infiltration ring.
