摘要
Correlations between rainfall amount and water content in coarse soils were studied. Situations were registered in which the intensity of the gravity-driven flow in the soil exhibited irregular oscillations which could not be explained within the scope of the standard Richards' theory. The problem was analyzed by means of a set of laboratory experiments. It seems that the observed global (macroscopic) oscillations can be qualitatively explained as a result of correlated behavior of the local (microscopic) flows. The search for a satisfactory quantitative description of those effects promises to be a field of useful and interesting research activities.
