Infiltration, Percolation, Seepage
• Infiltration– Water moving into soil by crossing the soil surface
• Percolation– Water moving through soil (movement within the
soil profile)• Seepage– Water moving out of soil
![Page 3: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Infiltration
• Infiltration depends on– Soil type– Soil moisture condition– Vegetation providing channelization through roots– Others???
![Page 4: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Estimation of Infiltration• Infiltration Capacity– The maximum rate at which water may infiltrate into a
ground is called the infiltration capacity – Differs soil to soil– also different for the same soil in its moist and dry states
![Page 5: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Measurement of Infiltration
1. Ring Infiltrometer2. Double Ring Infiltrometer3. Sprinkler Infiltrometer
![Page 6: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Ring Infiltrometer
• Constant water level (head) in the ring is maintained by adding water to compensate the infiltration losses
• Infiltration losses can be measured by keeping track of added water during time interval
• Problem of water leaving out of edges (use of double ring infiltrometer)
![Page 7: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Double Ring Infiltrometer
• Water tables in both rings are maintained• Only track the water added in the inner ring• More representative of actual vertical
infiltration rates

Sprinkler Infiltrometer
• Relating as much as possible to the actual basin conditions
![Page 11: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Infiltration Indices
• The average infiltration rate is called the Infiltration Index
• 2 types of indices– φ – index – W – index
![Page 14: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
φ – index
• Rate of infiltration above which the rainfall volume equals runoff volume
• Depends on soil type, vegetative cover, initial moisture conditions, storm duration, rainfall intensity, and time of the year
• If rainfall intensity is less than φ then the infiltration rate is equal to the rainfall intensity
• The amount of rainfall in excess of the index is called rainfall excess or effective rainfall
![Page 15: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
φ – index
![Page 16: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example
3volume

Conti….
• Assume a value of phi index and calculate runoff from graph. If runoff from graph is equal to calculated runoff then phi value is correct. Otherwise assume another value of phi index and redo calculation till runoff from graph equals runoff calculated.
![Page 18: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
W – index
• Average infiltration rate during the time when the rainfall intensity exceeds the infiltration rate
W = Total Infiltration/ time during which the rainfall intensity exceedsthe infiltration rate
Total infiltration = Total precipitation – Surface runoff – Initial losses
• Total infiltration is expressed as depth of water
![Page 19: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Approximate Equations: Calculating Infiltration
• Green-Ampt Model• SCS Method• Horton's Model• others
![Page 20: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Green-Ampt Method (1911)
• Based on Darcy’s law and unsteady continuity equation
• Then integrating the differential equationsF(t) = Ks t + ∆θ S ln [ 1 + F (t) / ∆θS ]
f (t) = Ks (1 + S∆ θ / F)F (t) = cumulative infiltration at time tt (t) = rate of infiltration at time tMoisture deficit = ∆θ = θs- θi
θi = initial water content θs= saturated water contentKs =Saturated hydraulic conductivity S = capillary suction

Limitations
• Green-Ampt model applies only when rainfall intensity > infiltration capacity
• For unsteady rainfall, G-A model applies as long as the rainfall variation is not large
• others

SCS Method
![Page 24: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Horton's Model (1940)
• Considering exponential behavior of infiltration• Following equation developed for finding rate
curve of infiltration capacity f(t) at any time tf(t) = fc + (f0 + fc)e-kt
• f0 = infiltration rate just at the beginning of rainfall (mm/hr)
• fc = steady state infiltration capacity (mm/hr)• k = Horton’s infiltration constant dependent on vegetal cover
and type of soil (hr-1)

Evapotranspiration
• Evaporation:– Change of liquid to vapor from soil or water surface
• Transpiration:– Change of liquid to vapor from plant
• Evapotranspiration= Evaporation + Transpiration
![Page 30: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Evaporation
• Depends on:– Solar radiation– Temperature of water and air– Difference in vapor pressure between water and
the overlying air– Wind speed– others
![Page 31: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Estimating Evaporation
• Water Budget (mass balance)• Diffusion (mass transfer)• Energy Budget• Field Measurement (Pan Evaporation)
![Page 32: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Water Budget Method
Σ inflows – Σ outflows= Δ Storage• Measure inflows• Determine all outflows other than Evaporation and
change in storage• Calculate Evaporation
E = – ΔS + I + P – O – GW• Where: – ΔS = change in storage O = surface Outflow– I = surface Inflow P = Precipitation– GW= subsurface seepage to groundwater
![Page 33: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Open Pan Evaporation• Simple and inexpensive• Cylindrical vessel of 1.2 to 1.8 m dia, 0.3 m high with
open top made of galvanized iron• Depth of evaporation during any time interval is
measured as the drop in water level in the pan (corrected for precipitation)
• Water level is maintained in the pan• Observation taken on daily basis• Pan reading may be different from actual reading
because of the differences in temperatures and vapor pressures between pan water and lake water
• Actual evaporation = pan coefficient x pan evaporation
![Page 34: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Factors Affecting Transpiration
• Plant Factor– Efficiency of root system to absorb moisture– Leaf area and structure
• Soil Factor– Amount of moisture in soil
• Climate Factor– Solar radiation– Atmospheric pressure, temperature and wind– Etc.
![Page 35: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Evapotranspiration (ET)
• ET rates depends on– Humidity (ET increases with decrease in Humidity)– Temperatures – Sunshine– Wind – Moisture available– Vegetation type and coverage
![Page 36: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Potential Evapotranpiration (PET)
• For given atmospheric conditions, it is the maximum ET rate possible
• The real evapotranspiration occurring in a specific situation is called Actual Evapotranspiration (AET)
• AET < PET
![Page 37: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Field Capacity: maximum quantity of water that soil can retain against the force of gravity
• Permanent Wilting Point: moisture content of soil at which the moisture is no longer available in sufficient quantity to sustain the plants
• Both depends on soil characteristics• The difference between these two moisture
contents is called ‘available water’- the moisture available for plant growth
![Page 38: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Measurement of Evapotranspiration (Field Methods)
• Water Budget Method• Soil Moisture Depletion studies• Lysimeters• Field Plots• Using remotely sensed data from satellites to
evaluate ET over vast areas (SEBAL Model – Energy Balance)
![Page 39: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Soil Moisture Depletion Studies
• Soil moisture depletion studies are made• Large number of samples are taken from various depths in the
roots zone through out the growth period of a crop
M1i and M2i are soil moisture % in the ith layer at the time of 1st and 2nd sampling respectively
Gi = apparent specific gravity of ith layer of the soilDi = depth of ith layer of the soil (mm) within the root zonen = number of soil layers considered in the entire root zone

Lysimeters
• Special watertight tank containing block of soil• Set into the field of growing plants• Plants growing inside the Lysimeter are same
as growing in the surrounding• Evapotranspiration is estimated in term of
amount of water required to maintain constant moisture conditions in the tank
![Page 41: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Field Plots
• In special plots, all elements of water budget are measured and Evapotranspiration is calculated
ET = [Precipitation+ Irrigation Input – runoff –increase in soil storage groundwater loss]
![Page 42: Hydrologic Losses Infiltration, Evaporation and Transpiration](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/568164da550346895dd728ad/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
