An accurate, analytical formulation describes very simply the outflow of water from a soil layer when the potentials (water contents) are maintained constant at both surfaces. The analytical formulation is adapted from a previously developed approach to the present problem. The accuracy of the results is checked by comparison with a precise numerical simulation which is greatly simplified for a Brooks and Corey type diffusivity. It is suggested that a laboratory experiment using this configuration would yield the soil properties relevant for adsorption.
