  • The time-dependent soil infiltration rate was derived based on the Hausdorff fractal derivative Richards equation. This model requires only 2 parameters, among which the Hausdorff derivative order characterizes the underlying water transport environment property in heterogeneous soil, while the pore size distribution index categorizes different hydrological models. Two applications show that a fractal order α≠1 of the Hausdorff derivative indicates the history-dependent process. Namely, a lower α exhibits slower decay of the infiltration rate with time evolution, reflecting stronger memory and further departure from the classical integer-order models. It is also observed that a smaller pore size distribution index indicates slower decay of the infiltration rate, making a fundamental index of soil infiltration.
