Abstract
Exact solutions for a class of nonlinear partial differential equation s modelling soil water infiltration and redistribution in irrigation s ystems are studied. These solutions are invariant under two-parameter symmetry groups obtained by the group classification of the governing equation. A general procedure for constructing invariant solutions is presented in a way convenient for investigating numerous new exact sol utions.
