Abstract:
The design and evaluation of surface irrigation systems of a site requires reliable data of infiltration which could be provided by an infiltration model. In this study, Horton’s infiltration model has been estimated for the soil located in a field of Shramshakti College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Maldad, Maharashtra using the infiltration data obtained from four different locations in the field using double ring infiltrometer. The decay constant of the Horton’s infiltration model was obtained using graphical method. The Horton’s model for infiltration rate obtained by formula f = fc + (fo-fc) e-kt, where, f is infiltration capacity at any time t, fc is final steady state infiltration capacity, fo is initial infiltration capacity. k is Horton’s decay coefficient which depends upon soil characteristics and vegetation cover.

The main aim of this study was to determine the infiltration rate of soil of Maldad village using double ring infiltrometer. In this study test were done by pouring water into the rings of 30 cm diameter and 60 cm diameter which is hammered into the soil 25 cm. From the given study the average infiltration rate for four different plots of Maldad village was found as 5.84 cm/hr. The characteristic constants Fc is found to be 10 cm. In the different plots of selected village, the double ring infiltrometer method was found suitable. Remark: From the obtained results we conclude that the irrigation methods and cropping patterns will be drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation methods and crops would be taken as Sweet Corn, Okra, Radishes, Eggplant, Carrots, Pole Beans, Spinach, Beat Root, Onion, respectively.
