This study aims to validate the model of Green-Ampt in a rice-growing area. The experiment was conducted in the experimental site of Paraíso do Sul - RS, where soil samples were collected for physical analysis and used the double ring infiltrometer to obtain the values of cumulative infiltration. The results obtained through the Green-Ampt model did not generate acceptable results for application. With the development of the work, it was concluded that for the implementation of Green-Ampt model it is necessary to find a new parameter setting proposal that can describe the process of infiltration to the soil type studied.</p>}, journal={Ciência e Natura}, author={Dockhorn, Wendler de Almeida and Moreira, Virnei Silva and Maldaner, Silvana and Prunzel, Jaqueline and Moreira, Vanessa Silva and Roberti, Debora Regina}, year={2016}, month={Jul.}, pages={556–559} }
