Soil Water Infiltration Global Database
Authors: Rahmati, Mehdi
Description / abstract: In this database a global database of soil infiltration measurements is provided. The Soil Water Infiltration Global (SWIG) databasecovers svereal houndred infiltration curves collected across all continents. These data were either provided and quality checked by the scientists who performed the experiments or they were digitized from published articles. Data from different countries were included in the database with major contributions from Iran, China, and USA. In addition to infiltration data, basic information of the measurement location, the measurement method, soil properties, and land use were collected, which makes the database valuable for the development of pedo-transfer functions for estimating soil hydraulic properties, for the evaluation of infiltration measurement methods and for developing and validating infiltration models. . All collected data and related soil characteristics are provided online and data can be either up or downloaded. To access the SWIG database click here.
