Abstract
A shallow water table can significantly affect soil infiltration and surface runoff during a rainfall event. Simple and robust models used as components of larger scale hydrological models are needed to analyze the impacts of shallow water table in the landscape. Salvucci and Entekhabi (1995) and Chu (1997) proposed an approximate non-uniform Green-Ampt time-implicit integral form solutions to the infiltration case for ponded soils bounded by a water table under initial hydrostatic equilibrium.
