It is remarkable that the Green‐Ampt (or delta function) solution for falling head ponded infiltration takes precisely the same functional form as that for constant head infiltration: Only the values of the constants change. Falling head infiltration experiments are thus as amenable to Green‐Ampt analysis as more complicated constant head experiments.
