Summary
Unsaturated Flow
refers to the
Movement of water
through a
Porous Medium
where the pores are
Not completely filled with water
, typically occurring above the
Water Table
in the
Vadose Zone
. It is governed by
Capillary Forces
, gravity, and the
Hydraulic Conductivity
of the medium, and is crucial for understanding
Water Infiltration
,
Soil Moisture Dynamics
, and
Plant Water Uptake
.
