| 英文摘要 | Evaluation and modeling of soil water infiltration are essential to all aspects of water resources management and the design of hydraulic structures. Nonetheless, research focused on experimental studies of infiltration rates in arid and semi-arid regions under unknown boundary conditions remains minimal. This paper investigates the characteristics of the spatial variability of infiltration over a semi-arid rural basin of Algeria. The experiments were conducted using a portable double-ring infiltrometer filled at an equal volume of approximately 100 L of water for each of the 25 catchment locations. Soil moisture contents at the proximity of each test location were evaluated in the laboratory as per the standard NF P94-050 protocol. The experimental results are used to produce the catchment infiltration curves using three statistically fitted infiltration models, namely Horton, Kostiakov, and Philip models. The reliability of the models was assessed using four performance criteria. The statistical regressions of the fitted models suggest that the Horton model is the most suitable to assess the infiltration rate over the catchment with mean coefficients of Nash = 0.963, CC = 0.985, RMSE = 1.839 (cm/h), and Bias = 0.241. The superiority of the Horton model suggests that the initial and final infiltration rates, primarily affected by soil type, initial soil moistures, and land cover, are important predictors of the modeling process over the Madjez Ressoul catchment. The results also infer that the applicability of other models to the different types of undeveloped soils in the study area requires advanced field investigations. This finding will support the understanding of the hydrologic processes over semi-arid basins, especially in advising crop irrigation schemes and methods and managing the recurring flood and drought over the country. |
