Vertical Drainage of an Unsaturated Soil
The general equation describing vertical unsaturated flow of soil water is solved by numerical approximation for several cases. The computer programs are described. The results show: (1) The intermediate belt of a well-drained unsaturated soil approximates field capacity during times of small evapotranspiration and intermittent penetrating rainfall; (2) infiltrated rainfall moves as a pulse with a steep wetting front; (3) the belt of soil water drains from saturation to approximately field capacity within two days for zero evapotranspiration.
