A) Darcy's law is applicable to saturated soil
B) Unsaturated soil-water movement can be called as capillary rise
C) Unsaturated flow ceases in clay textured soil relatively at lower tension than
sandy oil

In a field test of border strip irrigation method with given size of stream and strip
length, the advance and recession curves have been derived. If these two curves
are found to be mutually parallel, the unique interpretation or indication of the data
would be
