Underground seepage (from (or to) outside the project area) is calculated per cell.

The seepage is calculated using the following formula:

Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \delta s = frac{(h_{d}(t) - h_{x,y}}{c} \cdot frac{Δt}{24*60*60}}

The external seepage head is variable over time by the introduction of hv,t

hd(t) = hc + hv,t(t)

Finally, calculate the actual amount of water infiltrating.

Δw = Δs/ ws

Where:

  • Δs = The underground seepage which takes place, in meters.
  • Δt = Computational timestep in seconds.
  • hd = ground water level (or head) of the external zone causing the seepage, in meters
  • hv> = additional variation in head of hd over time
  • c = resistance of the separating layer.
  • ws = soil water storage fraction


  • Hunsat = The height of the unsaturated zone.
  • S = Ratio of water to height in the unsaturated zone.
  • Cinf = The height in the unsaturated zone which can be subject to infiltration to the saturated zone.
  • Wunset = The amount of water in the unsaturated zone. The height of the water column if the equivalent amount of water was placed on the surface.
  • WLunderground = The groundwater level, relative to datum.
  • Hsurface = The terrain height in the cell, relative to datum.
  • Iund = The GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD of the underground terrain type.
