Author(s): G Gopi and K Shanmugasundaram
Abstract: The present study was taken up in the watershed of community pond located in Mahilambadi Village, Trichy District, Tamil Nadu. The catchment area of 132 ha occupied by four different land cover conditions such as agricultural land, barren land, orchard, and lake. The constant infiltration rates of agricultural land and barren land were experimentally found as 5.55 and 5.70 cm h-1 respectively. Four locations were chosen within the pond area for finding infiltration rate of community pond for designing rainwater harvesting structure. The constant infiltration rates of four locations were 3.84, 3.75, 2.85 and 1.35 cm h-1. Philip’s and Green-Ampt model well fitted with the field data. The Philip’s model was best suited to agricultural, barren land and four locations of pond with higher correlation coefficients values well compared with Green- Ampt model.
