Unit gradient in internal drainage experiments for the determination of soil hydraulic conductivity

Abstract: It is theoretically shown that unit hydraulic potential gradients cannot occur in homogeneous soils undegoing internal drainage process even though this assumption has been used successfully by several authors of soil hydraulic conductivity methods.

“…These authors showed that the hydraulic gradient, which somewhat depends on depth, time, and soil properties, is slightly less than 1.0 in this profile. Hence, it is possible that virtually uniform water content distributions may not develop after a given drainage time, even in homogeneous soils (Reichardt, 1993). Considering weather-related factors, we are not aware of studies designed to specifically correlate rain and/or evapotranspiration regimes to the FC concept.…”

“…Os erros na determinação de K podem gerar importantes desvios no cálculo da drenagem ou ascensão capilar quando se utiliza a equação de Darcy-Buckingam Durante a redistribuição da água no solo, θ foi diminuindo de forma que os perfis de umidade ficassem quase paralelos (Figura 2). Essa, segundo Reichardt (1993), é uma condição necessária para que o raciocínio dos métodos da umidade e do fluxo seja válido e ocorreu no presente experimento.…”

“…A falta de homogeneidade é responsável pelas variações do potencial mátrico do solo em profundidade nos diferentes tempos de redistribuição, isto é, o gradiente de potencial mátrico foi diferente de zero e, portanto, o gradiente de potencial total diferente de 1, como discutido teoricamente por Reichardt (1993). Essa situação expressa que para um mesmo valor de umidade registraram-se diferentes valores de K entre as distintas profundidades do solo.…”
