Green and Ampt Infiltration Model

The Green and Ampt Infiltration Model estimates how quickly water soaks into soil during rainfall. It considers factors like soil type, moisture level, and the amount of rainfall to predict infiltration rates. The model assumes water movement into soil follows a combination of gravity and capillary forces, starting rapidly and slowing down as the soil becomes saturated. It uses a formula involving parameters such as soil's hydraulic properties to provide a realistic estimate of how much and how fast water can infiltrate, which is useful for managing stormwater, agriculture, and preventing erosion.
