1 1 A 4 minute history of continuum quantification of vadose flow (Selker)

Dr. Selker describes the move from intuitive understanding of flow in porous media to the age of quantification of flow. We discuss the landmark achievements of the 1800's (Darcy, Boussinesq, Schlichter), and then the pillars of the 20th century, with Buckingham, Green and Ampt, Richardson, Richards, Haines and the Miller brothers.
