A-3-2 Infiltration

Ihree methods are applied for infiltration at pervious area in DWAT model. The first one is
the Rainfall Excess method (SHER User's Manual, 2001). Green & Ampt method and Horton
method (Horton, 1933) were also provided.

1) Rainfall Excess method

It is well known the infiltration rate through the ground surface is changed by the soil
moisture content. Generally, the rate of infiltration is higher at low soil moisture and the
speed is decreased when soil is saturated and is close to saturated hydraulic conductivity.
CAT model uses unsaturated hydraulic conductivity for vertical and horizontal infiltration.
And the Mualem(1978) equation which is also applied by SHER(2001) is adopted.
