Abstract: In 1984 an analytically response function for one dimensional vertical redistribution of water injected into the soil was drived. In this study a theoretical h0(t) solution (the time variation of capillary pressure) for radial redistribution of water injected into the soil is developed and compared to the corresponding one for the vertical case. The compression of theoretical solution and excremental results shows that Except for the slightly more rapid redistribution, no advantages for radial redistribution over the vertical one is observed.
