Darcy Law for Flow of Water in Soil | Water Flow | Soil Management

In this article we will discuss about the Darcy law for flow of water in soil. Flow of Water in Horizontal Saturated Column: If the soil is simply a bundle of straight and smooth tubes, each uniform in radius, the rate of water flow will be equal to the sum of the separate flow rates through the individual pores. Since, [...]

Flow of Water in the Soil | Soil-Water Relationship | Agronomy

Flow of water in the soil is complex because of various states and direction in which water flows and because of the forces that cause it to flow. Water flows downwards due to gravity. It moves in small pores due to capillarity because of adhesive and cohesive forces. Because of heat, it vapourises and diffuses through soil air. The rate [...]
