“…Knowledge of soil water infiltration is crucial for designing proper irrigation management practices, which are affected by many factors, such as the quantity and quality of source water, infiltration mode and soil properties (Almeida et al, ; Assouline, ; Barakat et al, ). In this study, under the same initial soil conditions, the infiltration of melting saline ice water was faster than that of melting salt‐free ice water, which suggested that the infiltration properties were enhanced by saline ice under various initial soil conditions.…”

Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the infiltration of melting saline ice water into coastal saline soil with different initial water contents and bulk densities, together with the redistribution of water, salt and salt leaching after infiltration. Three water contents (5, 10 and 15% at a soil bulk density of 1.3 g cm−3) and three bulk density levels (1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 g cm−3 of air‐dry soil) of saline soil were used, with salt‐free ice comprising the control treatment. The results showed that the depth of infiltration with treatment by saline ice was greater than that of salt‐free ice, and increased as the initial soil water content and bulk density decreased. After infiltration, the soil water content in the upper soil layers increased with increasing initial soil water contents and bulk densities. This trend was reversed in the deeper soil layers. After infiltration of the melting ice water, the saline ice treatment resulted in a smaller soil salt content than the salt‐free ice treatment. The salt contents in the upper soil layers decreased with decreasing initial soil water contents and bulk densities. The largest rate of desalting was observed following infiltration of the melting saline ice water into the coastal saline soil with the smallest soil water content and bulk density. These results indicate that although a similar infiltration process was observed when the melting saline ice water and direct saline water infiltrated the saline soil with different soil water contents and bulk densities, the desalting effect of infiltration of the melting saline ice water was greater than that of infiltration of direct saline water and melting salt‐free ice water. Smaller initial water content and bulk density favoured salt leaching under the infiltration of melting saline ice water. Highlights We evaluated infiltration and soil desalination under melting saline ice into saline soil Rate of infiltration and depth increased with decreasing initial soil water content and bulk density. Soil water content in the top soil layer increased with increasing initial water content and bulk density. Rate of desalting increased with decrease in initial water content and bulk density under infiltration of melting saline ice water.

“…At present, the phenomenon of increasing IR is being ignored and water infiltration is generalized as a monotonously decreasing process. Traditional infiltration models (e.g., those of Green–Ampt, Philip, Kostiakov, and Horton) and piecewise function models are still used to fit the double‐slope infiltration process (De Almeida et al, 2018; Moret‐Fernández et al, 2019) in the model developed by Haverkamp et al (1994), and the corresponding infiltration curve indicates that the traditional model should not be applied to this kind of curve. A piecewise Kostiakov function (PKF) has been used to calculate the IR, resulting in a discontinuity at the inflection point (Ren et al, 2018).…”

One-dimensional infiltration experiments were conducted using hydrophilic and water-repellent soils from the Guishui River Basin to study the effects of soil water repellency on cumulative infiltration (CI) and the infiltration rate (IR). The test results show that, for the hydrophilic soil (HS) sample, CI increases monotonously with time and IR decreases monotonously. For the water-repellent soil (W-RS), however, the following characteristics were observed: (a) There is an inflection point in CI and a sudden increase in IR. Larger values of the initial soil water content produce an earlier and more significant inflection point in CI, and a larger peak value of IR. (b) The postpeak stable IR is greater than the pre-peak value, ignoring the beginning of rapid infiltration, and the overall IR presents a single peak. The applicability of various water infiltration models was analysed for the two soil types. Numerical analysis suggests the following conclusions: (a) For both HS and W-RS, the Kostiakov function, Gamma function, and Beta function (BF) models exhibit good applicability. (b) For W-RS, the Gauss function model not only reflects the monotonous decrease in IR, but also produces a steady IR in the initial stage, a gradual increase before the peak value, and a gradual decrease after the peak value. Similarly, the BF model reflects the monotonous decrease in IR. A piecewise BF reproduces the U-shaped change in rapid infiltration before the inflection point, as well as the gradual increase and rightskewed distribution curve of W-RS infiltration before and after the inflection point.The BF model achieves the best simulation accuracy and has the widest applicability.

“…Border irrigation is one of the surface irrigation methods widely used for irrigating pastures and some close‐growing crops. Infiltration is known to be one of the essential parameters of surface irrigation design and operation (Dialameh et al, ). Surface irrigation design and evaluation require quantification of soil infiltration characteristics, which can vary seasonally within a border and due to cultivation practices.…”

The main objective of this study was to investigate the sensitivity of the output parameters of SIRMOD software relative to initial soil water content. The treatments consisted of three irrigation water qualities, two types of soil water content management (FC and 30% FC; FC is field capacity) and three irrigation events. The HYDRUS‐1D software was calibrated to simulate infiltration under different initial soil water contents. Subsequently, the infiltration coefficients obtained from the HYDRUS model were used to simulate the border irrigation system under the different border lengths and inflow rates using the SIRMOD software. The results showed that soil was more permeable under FC management than under 30% FC. The sensitivity of the output parameters of the SIRMOD software under FC was more sensitive compared to 30% FC. The high‐ and low‐sensitive treatments were in the FC and 30% FC management with high saline‐sodic water, respectively. Due to the high permeability under FC, in order to increase the irrigation application efficiency and reduce its sensitivity, the inflow rate should be greater while border length has to be less, compared to 30% FC. Sensitivity analysis of the output parameters showed that the advance time and tailwater fraction were identified as the most and least sensitive parameters, respectively. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
