Unsaturated Zone Flow

Unsaturated Zone Flow is a hydrological flow process in porous media hydrogeology characterized by the movement of water through soil pores under variable saturation conditions where pore spaces contain both air and water, distinguishing it from saturated groundwater flow by the dependence of hydraulic conductivity and capillary forces on moisture content.
