Abstract
Our group discussions on “preferential flow in unsaturated soil” dealt with a number of issues believed to be important in the scientific quest for garnering understanding of this ubiquitous phenomenon. The general areas of discussion were flow mechanisms and classification, modes of appearance, methods of observation, understanding of causal mechanisms, experimental evaluation, and the status of modeling efforts.
