Surface infiltration formula (Water Overlay)

Surface infiltration is calculated per cell.
First, the infiltration capacities are calculated:
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle I_{surface} = min(\bar{I_{ground}}, \bar{I_{top}}}) Then the actual infiltration: <math>\Delta w = min( h, \Delta t \cdot I_{surface})}
Where:
- = The average infiltration speed based on constructions on top of the surface, based on GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD.
- = The average infiltration speed based on the surface terrain, defined by GROUND_INFILTRATION_MD. This value should be interpreted as the vertical conductivity (Kv) of the sub-soil.
- = The average infiltration speed on top of the surface.
- = The average infiltration speed below the surface.
- = The (limited) infiltration speed from surface to the unsaturated zone.
- = The amount of water on the surface. Also known as the water column.
- = The surface infiltration which takes place.
- = Computational timestep.
