SSgampt {HydroMe}

A Green-Ampt water infiltration model

Description

This is a two- parameter function to determine water infiltration parameters contained in the Green-Ampt infiltration model

Usage

SSgampt(input, ks, A)

Arguments

input

Instantaneous infiltration rate

ks

Saturated hydraulic conductivity

A

Constant incorporating matric suction potential, wetting front, and antecedent moisture content

Details

This is a self-starting model for estimating Green-Ampt infiltration model using instantaneous and cumulative infiltration data

Value

A list of objects returned by standard R regression functions such as nls and lm
