1 Water Budget IV: Soil Water Processes P = Q + ET + G + ΔS
2 Infiltration Infiltration capacity: The maximum rate at which water can enter soil. Infiltration capacity curve: A graph showing the time-variation of infiltration capacity if the supply were continually in excess of infiltration capacity. Infiltration rate The rate at which infiltration takes place expressed in depth per unit time. Converted to volume (ft 3 /s, m 3 /d) by multiplying rate times area Assumes spatial homogeneity of rate
3 Water moves through spaces between soil particles (SLOW) Infiltration Movement of water into the soil Water moves through old root channels, animal burrows, and between soil blocks (FAST) Percolation is the movement of water through soil
4 Wetting Profiles
5 Matrix Potential Capillary forces Water has high surface tension Leads to zone above the water table that where pores are saturated Capillary Rise Varies from a few cm to m (!) Texture dependent Also accelerates infiltration into unsaturated soils
6 Matrix + Gravity HORTON EQUATION: f o = Initial infiltration capacity f p = Infiltration capacity f c = Equilibrium infiltration capacity If precipitation rate (L/T) < fc (L/T), then all rain infiltrates When soil is saturated matrix force = 0
7 Generation of Overland Flow What is contour tillage? What does it do?

9 Soil Texture
10 What is the implicit assumption here? How might a shallow water table violate this assumption?
11
12 During a rainfall, millions of drops fall at velocities reaching 30 feet per second. They explode against the ground, splashing exposed soil as high as 3 feet in the air and as far as 5 feet from where they hit. Impact energy breaks up soil particles into smaller units that can clog soil pores
13
14 The forest floor plays a key role in the infiltration process by adsorbing the energy of the rainfall (throughfall) preventing dispersed colloidal material from clogging soil pores and detaining water to give it time to infiltrate.

17 Infiltration rate (cm/ hour) Heavy Machinery Affects Soil Infiltration Capacity Number of Vehicle Passes
18 Compaction reduces infiltration and increases runoff. Wet & fine textured soils compact the most. Most of the compaction occurs in the first 3 trips. Compaction reduces root growth, nutrient and gas exchange, and site productivity (46% less volume for loblolly in N.C.). Soils may recover in 3-10 years if undisturbed.

21 Lysimeters Measure flows below the surface Useful for quantity AND quality Works variably in very sandy soils
22 P=Q+ET+G+ ΔS Calculating ΔS from soil moisture data ΔS = storage end storage begin In this example the watershed soil is 1 meter deep and is unsaturated at end and saturated at beginning. How do we determine ΔS as Equivalent Surface Depth (ESD)?
23 Porosity Soil Moisture Terms Total volume of pores per volume soil Soil is saturated when pores are filled Volumetric soil moisture (θ V ) Volume of water per volume of soil Maximum is porosity Field capacity θ V soil moisture after free drainage What soil can hold against gravity Wilting point θ V at which plants can t obtain soil water Not zero θ V, but zero AVAILABLE
24 Available Water Capacity
25 For unsaturated soil ESD = θ v x soil depth For saturated soil ESD = Porosity x soil depth ΔS= ESD end ESD begin If soil saturated at beginning and unsaturated at end, what will be the sign of ΔS?
26 Calculating volumetric soil moisture θ v = V w / V s 1. Sample a known volume 2. weigh-dry-weigh volume water/volume soil (1 g water = 1 cm 3 ) Cylinder Volume= 20cm 3 Wet weight = 30g Dry weight = 25g Θ v = (30-25) / 20cm 3 = 0.25g/cm 3
27 Equivalent Surface Depth of Soil Moisture (ESD) for unsaturated conditions ESD= Volumetric soil moisture * depth of soil θ= 0.25g/cm 3 or just 0.25 Soil depth = 1.00m ESD= 0.25m This concept (yield of water per unit area) is also called the specific yield
28 Specific Yield
29 Calculating ESD of saturated soil Porosity= volume of voids / total volume Method A Saturate known soil volume, weigh, dry, weigh. Method B Determine Bulk density and use: Porosity = 1- Bulk Density 2.65
30 Bulk Density = Cylinder Volume = 20cm 3 Wet weight = 30g Dry weight = 25g Dry Soil (g) 25g 20cm 3 = 1.25 g/cm 3 Soil Volume (cm 3 )
31 Porosity= 1-(1.25 / 2.65)= * 1m soil = 0.53m ESD for saturated conditions. For unsaturated conditions the ESD was 0.25 m. End S (unsaturated) = 0.25m Begin S (saturated ) = 0. 53m ΔS= 0.25m 0.53m = -0.28m
32 Soil texture Total porosity Drained porosity Sand 35-50% ~35% 1.5 Silts &Clay 40-60% 15-25% 1.0 Organic >60% variable 0.1 Bulk Density g/cm 3
