“…The result of this research differs from that found by Viana et al (2015), who found higher values of basic infiltration rate (234 mm h -1 ) in areas with conventional cultivation system. Santos et al (2020) evaluating the use of different infiltrometers to assess environmental damage caused by different soil uses, they observed that different uses and soil cover influenced the rate of soil water infiltration obtained by different infiltrometers. Figure 5 shows the water infiltration curve in the soil determined from the data collected with the double cylinder infiltrometer for the eucalyptus area.…”

Watersheds are units of planning and environmental management having a great importance in the management of water resources and their use. To this end, knowledge about the soil's physical and water attributes is of paramount importance in the context of water dynamics in aquifer recharge areas. Water infiltration rate into the soil is considered an important variable in the hydrological cycle, as the increase in this process can lead to a reduction in erosion and consequently greater groundwater recharge. Thus, the present work aimed to evaluate the soil water infiltration rate in the phytophysiognomy of the Poxim River basin in the State of Sergipe, in the agriculture, eucalyptus and forest areas, and to observe the effect of the infiltration water rate in areas of no-till, minimum and conventional cultivation. The soil water infiltration rate was obtained through the use of double cylinder infiltrometer and estimated through the mathematical models of Kostiakov, Kostiakov-Lewis, Horton and Philip. When making comparisons between the models for estimating of soil water infiltration rates, the Horton model showed a better fit compared to the other models used, and the type of soil cover that obtained the highest infiltration rate was the forest. No-till areas provided higher water infiltration rates in the soil, contributing to greater groundwater recharge.

Urban lake drainage systems are heavily impacted by terrain, soil characteristics, and precipitation, which influence water infiltration and groundwater movement. This study focused on the drainage catena around Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where local residents have experienced wet basements and yards. The primary goal was to identify the factors contributing to these water-related problems, particularly soil permeability and how it responds to precipitation. By conducting soil borings, using pressure transducers, and measuring saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs), the study compared upland and lowland areas. Findings indicated that upland soils, primarily composed of sandy fill, had much higher infiltration rates, with Kfs values ranging from 72.4 cm/hr to 149 cm/hr. In contrast, lowland areas characterized by lacustrine and organic soils exhibited significantly lower Kfs values, ranging from 1 cm/hr to 14.8 cm/hr. Between 2022 and 2024, wet and dry seasons occurred, yet recorded more than 127.5 cm of rain and snow water equivalent, further contributing to groundwater rise and surface water presence in low-lying regions. The study concluded that increased precipitation, coupled with specific hydrogeologic conditions, was the main factor causing elevated groundwater levels and surface saturation in these areas. To address these challenges, Minnesota's water management authorities are encouraged to implement strategies that consider the increasing magnitude and intensity of precipitation events due to climate change. Incorporating hydrogeologic assessments into urban planning is recommended to better manage water infiltration, reduce flood risks, and strengthen the resilience of drainage systems to changing climate patterns.
