SSgampt

This is a two- parameter function to determine water infiltration parameters contained in the Green-Ampt infiltration model

 models

 manip 

Contains functions for estimating the parameters of infiltration and water retention models using the curve-fitting methods as discussed in Omuto and Gumbe (2009) ("Estimating water infiltration and retention characteristics using a computer program in R"<doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2008.08.011>). The models considered are those that are commonly used in soil science. Version 2 of the package has new models for water retention characteristic curves.
