    abstract = {Soil-water Sorptivity (S) is a single parameter that can be used to measure infiltrated water into the soil at a particular time, predict groundwater recharge and soil erosion, predict unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, determine saturated hydraulic conductivity and predict soil water diffusivity. This paper presents a simple method of estimating soil-water sorptivity. The experiment was carried out using some selected Nigerian soils. The infiltration experiment allows water to pass through a soil column. The volume of water infiltrating through a soil column at a particular time was measured. The infiltrated water (cm) was plotted against square root of time. Soil-water sorptivity was estimated as the slope of the graph.}
