Abstract :

Study of Infiltration rate is important in water resource management. Different infiltrometer to measure time series of steady infiltration rates at the point scale. The infiltrometer uses two tipping bucket rain gauges. One gauge measures rainfall onto, and the other measures runoff from, a small circular plot about 0.5–m in diameter. The small size allows the infiltration rate to be computed as the difference of the cumulative rainfall and cumulative runoff without having to route water through a large plot. Data were collected during the summer of 2014. The difference infiltrometer demonstrated the capability to capture different magnitudes of infiltration rates and temporal variability associated with convective (high intensity, short duration) and cyclonic (low intensity, long duration) rainstorms. Data from the difference infiltrometer were used to estimate saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil affected by the heat.
