    The Green-Ampt equation models infiltration capacity and was presented in 1911 by Green and Ampt. It is based on fundamental physics and matches empirical observations. The equation relates infiltration capacity to porosity, capillary suction at the wetting front, Darcy's hydraulic conductivity, and cumulative infiltration capacity. It can also be expressed as a linear relationship between infiltration capacity and the inverse of cumulative infiltration capacity.

    GREEN-AMPT EQUATION

    By: W.H. Green and G. Ampt


    1911
    Green and Ampt (1911) presented an approach that is based on fundamental physics and also gives results that match
    empirical observations.

    GREEN-AMPT EQUATION:
    𝜂𝑆𝑐
    𝑓𝑝 = 𝐾 (1 + )
    𝐹𝑝

    𝑓𝑝 = infiltration capacity

    𝜂 = porosity

    𝑆𝑐 = capillary suction at wetting front

    K = Darcy’s hydraulic conductivity

    𝐹𝑝 = cumulative infiltration capacity


    𝑛
    ALSO; 𝑓𝑝 = 𝑚 + 𝐹
    𝑝

    m = intercept of the line

    n = slope of the line


    (use line of best fit)

    procedure:

    1. Plot fp and 1/Fp ex.

    2. Find values for


    y x y- x- (x- )² (x- )(y- )

    3. Solve m and n:
