Abstract
Electronic computers have stimulated a great deal of interest in numerical solutions to unsteady unsaturated flow. For the hydrologist, the interest does not lie so much in the determination of the soil moisture profile, but rather in the prediction of infiltration rates. The implication is that a rough determination of the moisture profile is legitimate provided that the prediction of infiltration remains good.
