A Forecasting Method of Kostiakov Infiltration Model Parameters Based on Back-Propagation Model

Based on test data of field soil water infiltration, Back-propagation (BP) model of predicting Kostiakov infiltration model parameters was established after analyzing the primary influence factors of water infiltration model parameters. The results indicate that BP model can reflect the non-linear relationship between the model parameters and the physical parameters of the soil; BP model is high accuracy for prediction soil infiltration model parameters. It can be referred as a new method to predict soil infiltration process using soil physical parameters.
