Infiltration Surface (2D) Data Fields
Infiltration Surface (2D) data can be edited on either the Infiltration Surface (2D) Grid Window of the Polygons Grid or the Infiltration Surface (2D) Property Sheet.
Most data can be edited on the grid, but some fields cannot be displayed in the grid format.
To view and edit all zone data, use the Property Sheet.
The following describes all the data which can be used to define a
Common Data Fields Fields that are common to the majority of objects can be found in the Common Fields topic.

| Fixed runoff coefficient |
This is a proportion. For example, 0.1 indicates 10% runoff from this surface. Enabled when Infiltration type is set to Fixed or ConstInf. |

Horton initial |
Initial infiltration rate (f0) when soil water content is zero. Used when Infiltration Type is set to Horton. |
initial_infiltration | Double | I | 3 | 0.001 | |||||||||||||||
| Horton limiting |
Limiting infiltration rate when soil is saturated and drainage capacity equals the infiltration rate. Used when Infiltration Type is set to Horton. |
limiting_infiltration | Double | I | 3 | 0.001 | |||||||||||||||
| Horton decay |
Rate of decay of potential infiltration rate. Used when Infiltration Type is set to Horton. |
decay_factor | Double | HR | 3 | 0.001 | |||||||||||||||
| Horton recovery |
Rate of recovery of potential infiltration rate. If this value is blank, the recovery factor is set to the same value as the Horton decay factor. Used when Infiltration Type is set to Horton. |
recovery_factor | Double | HR | 3 | 0.001 | |||||||||||||||
| Infiltration loss coefficient |
Used to calculate the infiltration loss when Infiltration Type is set to ConstInf. |
infiltration_coeff | Double | I | 1 | 0 | 0 | ||||||||||||||
| Green-Ampt suction |
The average capillary suction at the wetting front. Used when Infiltration Type is set to Green-Ampt. |
average_capillary_suction | Double | RD | 0 | ||||||||||||||||
| Green-Ampt conductivity |
The minimum or asymptotic infiltration rate of the soil. This is equivalent to limiting infiltration rate in Horton. Used when Infiltration Type is set to Green-Ampt. |
saturated_hydraulic_conductivity | Double | R | 0 | ||||||||||||||||
| Green-Ampt deficit |
The maximum soil moisture deficit (the fractional difference between soil porosity and actual moisture content). Used when Infiltration Type is set to Green-Ampt. |
initial_moisture_deficit | Double | 0.01 | 1 |
