Green-Ampt model
The Green-Ampt model is a scientific way to estimate how quickly water soaks into the ground during rainfall. It considers factors like soil type, initial moisture, and the amount of rainfall to predict infiltration rates. Essentially, it helps understand how much water the soil can absorb at any moment, which is important for managing irrigation, drainage, and flood control. The model views infiltration as a process where water moves through the soil's surface layer until it becomes saturated, balancing the soil's ability to hold water with the intensity of the rain.
