Richard's Equation

Richard's Equation is a partial differential equation that describes the movement of water in unsaturated porous media by relating the rate of change of soil moisture content to the spatial gradients of hydraulic conductivity and capillary pressure, distinguishing it as the fundamental mathematical model for quantifying variably saturated flow in the vadose zone.
