Advances in Infiltration

During December 12–13 of 1983, in Chicago, the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) convened the National Conference on Advances in Infiltration. The stated purpose of the conference was to report and evaluate recent developments in the movement of water into soil. Ninety papers were presented at the conference, but only 36 manuscripts are included in this volume, which represents the proceedings for the conference. Six manuscripts each are presented under the designated topics of physics of infiltration, parameters in infiltration equations, special problems and phenomena, measurement of infiltration, applications in agriculture, and applications in watershed hydrology. Brief abstracts are included for 23 papers presented in poster sessions at the conference.
