N2  - A study has been made to evaluate the effect of spatial  variability of soil physical properties on design of level basin  method of irrigation. Infiltration characteristics were scaled to  simulate the effect of spatial variability. The study describes  a procedure for designing level basin method of irrigation using  volume balance as well as zero inertia approaches taking soil  variability into account. Water front advance as predicted by  zero inertia model for spatially varying infiltration has been  compared with the observed advance trajectory and discussed . Model simulation at predetermined space increments rather than at  specified time increments was utilized. Spatially varying  infiltration simulations as obtained from volume balance and zero  inertia approaches are compared wi th spatially uniform  infiltration. The application efficiency and distr ibution  uniformity for spatially varying and spatially uniform soil  physical properties were investigated
