Soil Water Infiltration

Watersheds are units of planning and environmental management having a great importance in the management of water resources and their use. To this end, knowledge about the soil's physical and water attributes is of paramount importance in the context of water dynamics in aquifer recharge areas. Water infiltration rate into the soil is considered an important variable in the hydrological cycle, as the increase in this process can lead to a reduction in erosion and consequently greater groundwater recharge. Thus, the present work aimed to evaluate the soil water infiltration rate in the phytophysiognomy of the Poxim River basin in the State of Sergipe, in the agriculture, eucalyptus and forest areas, and to observe the effect of the infiltration water rate in areas of no-till, minimum and conventional cultivation. The soil water infiltration rate was obtained through the use of double cylinder infiltrometer and estimated through the mathematical models of Kostiakov, Kostiakov-Lewis, Horton and Philip. When making comparisons between the models for estimating of soil water infiltration rates, the Horton model showed a better fit compared to the other models used, and the type of soil cover that obtained the highest infiltration rate was the forest. No-till areas provided higher water infiltration rates in the soil, contributing to greater groundwater recharge.

Our article is studied with the improvement of a physically-based numerical model that uses for a new finite element solution to the transient or steady problems of the groundwater and surface water flows of a specific region with the help of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to store, manage, represent and take decides on all condition. Our article research subsurface and surface model proposes groundwater and surface water interact to be depth averaged through a new interpretation of a linear river flood calculus method. Overland flows and infiltration rates production processes are estimated by a sub model which records for this kind of groundwater and surface water interactions. Groundwater and surface water interactions discuss also new evapotranspiration and evaporation processes as a spread discharge from ground water table, non-saturated subsoil and surface water. The practical application regards the present flooding of six gauge stations, in the context of the water resources fate and use at the Yifeng River basin (similar to 776.6m2), Jiangxi China. Our article developed model DMSYQ was applied to the complex geology and the whole of the water resources of the Yifeng River basin.

Circular 1493, a 6-page circular by Sanjay Shukla and Fouad H. Jaber illustrated with maps and graphs, discusses the feasibility of using water from an alternative source of water supply for southern Florida that is usually not considered -- water held in urban/agricultural storm water detention/retention (impoundment) areas. The authors describe the results of a feasibility study of an impoundment in a citrus grove in the southern part of the Caloosahatchee River Basin. Includes references. Published by the UF Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, July 2006.
