The study was carried out from January to February 2007 at the Vale do Curu Experimental Farm, Pentecoste, Cear� State. The experimental design adopted was a completely randomised block design, consisting of five treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of the following soil water infiltration techniques: cylinder-infiltrometer, furrow-infiltrometer, inlet-outlet, volume balance I and volume balance II. Analysis of the results led to the following conclusions: - The water infiltrated into the soil showed a greater degree of dependence on the soil preparation variable compared to the soil water content variable; - The volume balance techniques showed similar results in terms of both the accumulated infiltrated water and the asymptotic regime; - The inlet-outlet and cylinder-infiltrometer techniques showed overestimated accumulated infiltration values compared to the other treatments analysed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46381586514071,"sku":"9786208759995","price":3463.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786208759995.webp?v=1768772999","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/techniques-for-estimating-soil-water-infiltration-9786208759995","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
