Soil infiltration refers to the soil’s ability to transport water into and through the exposed layer of soil. Infiltration allows the soil to temporarily store water, making it available for plants and soil organisms. The infiltration rate is a quantifiable measurement of the velocity at which water enters the soil, commonly expressed in inches/hour. A slow infiltration rate inevitably leads to ponding in level areas, surface runoff, and soil erosion. This will increase the likelihood of flooding, wasted resources, poor crop yield, soil nutrient loss, and economic loss. Sufficient water application is a must to ensure optimum crop yield. Water enters recharge zones and travels through porous soils, revitalizing groundwater aquifers and streams.
