Underground infiltration (from the unsaturated zone to the saturated zone) is calculated per cell.

First the height of the unsaturated zone is calculated.

Then the ratio of water amount to unsaturated height is calculated.

Then calculate the distance of the unsaturated zone which can infiltrate.

Finally, calculate the actual amount of water infiltrating.

Where:

= The underground infiltration which takes place.
= Computational timestep.
= The height of the unsaturated zone.
= Ratio of water to height in the unsaturated zone.
= The height distance in the unsaturated zone which can be subject to infiltration to the saturated zone.
= 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.
= The groundwater level, relative to datum.
= the datum height of the surface of cell c, set by the elevation or a Terrain elevation prequel.
= The GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD of the underground terrain type.
