What is Green Ampt equation?

The Basic assumption behind the Green and Ampt equation is that water infiltrates into (relatively) dry soil as a sharp wetting front. The passage of this front causes the moisture content to increase from an initial value to a saturated value.

What is Infiltration Capacity of Soil?

The Infiltration Capacity is defined as the maximum rate of infiltration. It is most often measured in meters per day but can also be measured in other units of distance over time if necessary. The infiltration capacity decreases as the soil moisture content of soils surface layers increases.
