Constant infiltration with capacity

For this description you first have to define the type of two parameters that are contained in the input type 2 data file:

- The extent of the infiltration zone must be defined by Depth or Level.

- The initial water volume in the infiltration zone must be defined by Percent­age of the Capacity (interval: 0-100 [%]) or the Water Content (interval: 0-porosity [()]).

A type 2 data file (Constant in time, Varying in space) with 5 items must be specified:

1.       Infiltration rate

2.       Porosity of infiltration zone

3.       Depth OR Level value describing the extent of the infiltration zone

4.       Leakage rate (specified as type infiltration)

5.       Initial water volume in Percentage of capacity OR as Water Content
