2D hydraulic infiltration can be applied to the model, termed ‘transmission loss’ to differentiate from Infiltration within the Runoff Mode. 

This 2D infiltration or transmission loss can be applied to the model using the Green Ampt and Initial/continuing loss methodologies. These loss values are applied within the Global Database – (2D) Soil Type record.

 

Soil Parameters can be input either with user defined Porosity, Suction, Initial Moisture and Hydraulic Conductivity or one of the standard United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Types can be used.

The transmission loss method can be selected between Green-ampt or Initial/Continuing loss. For the Green-Ampt method a Max Ponding Depth (ft, m) must be set.

If the Initial and Continuing loss method is selected, only the initial and continuing loss must be set, the other input data can be left blank or as default.
