I think Infiltration should remain as a separate entry. It is an important concept in the planning and design of Sustainable urban drainage systems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Willow4 (talkcontribs) 26 May 2006

Infiltration is certainly not the same as permeability. That is complete rubbish, and I'll remove that suggestion immediately. Mwtoews 16:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relation to chemical content

shouldnt we have some text in this article regarding the role of chemical contents of infiltrating water, eg processes of adsorption of some chemical species on soil particles and the inverse of dissolving some chemicals which are already absorbed or adsorbed in the soil?

[edit] Kostiakov

Another infiltration equation is the Kostiakov equation. I don't have the details handy, but believe it has a similar approach as Horton
