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.
