Abstract: |
Soil water movement parameters are necessary for the solution of the basic soil water movement equation. A set of data about soil water suction corresponding to soil water content were observed by tensiometer method,and the soil saturated hydraulic conductivity was determined by double loop infiltration experiment in the field of Fengshou irrigation district in Awati county of Xinjiang, respectively. A water retention equation based on a closed form equation proposed by Van Genuchten was fitted with Sigmaplot software. The calculation formula for unsaturated hydraulic conductivity was established by employing the equation put forwarded by Mualem. Finally, the calculation formula for soil water diffusivity and specific water capacity were also derived indirectly. |
