Abstract
Saturated-unsaturated flow models are used to simulate transient conditions in four soils during constant head borehole infiltration tests in the vadose zone. Infiltration rate varies directly with saturated hydraulic conductivity and is also influenced by unsaturated soil properties, antecedent moisture conditions, anisotropy and borehole conditions. The method recommended by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to determine when to terminate a test may lead to overestimating saturated hydraulic conductivity. -from ASCE Publications Abstracts
