AbstractThis technical report contains the results from a study to determine hydrologic parameters for selected soils in Arizona and New Mexico. Data analyses indicate that the infiltration characteristics among the sites are quite similar. Differences can be attributed to the amount of organic ground cover on a plot, the antecedent water content of the soil prior to the experiment, and the surface roughness as measured with a point frame....
