    Thanks for the information. Very insightful. I only have one other question. I guess I would use this only until the field capacity of the soil is reached, right. Some of the water will not ever drain down. My soil has a approx. field capacity of 2 in/ft. So I can assume that if I have 30" of...

If the media is dry, or at a normal moisture conent, then water is applied to the surface. The upper level then becomes saturated then...

If I have a filter media that is 30 inches deep, and I have a sudden rainfall that places a rapid 2" of water over my media. The media has a design infiltration rate of 2 in/hr. How will the water be routed through...
