Infiltration is the act of water moving from the land surface into the soil. Usually, we think about infiltration occurring in response to rainfall, where water is applied over the whole land surface. In that case, infiltration is important because it’s one of the deciding factors in how much rainfall …
Hydraulic conductivity is the term used to describe how easily a fluid moves through a porous medium. In the case of water infiltrating into soils, the fluid is the water and the porous medium is the soil. We often use K to represent hydraulic conductivity when we are writing equations. …
