Infiltrograph, an apparatus to record soil infiltration rates
Dr. José Bertoni
SUMMARY
Despite the importance of water infiltration into the soil, only a limited amount of information concerning the subjects is available. There is a need for reliable infiltration values that were obtained under natural conditions for a specific soil type.
An apparatus was designed to give the determination of the actual rates of infiltration of the soil in place. The initial and the ultimate rates, as well as time to reach the latter, are recorded.
The apparatus is composed of a two-concentric-ring infiltrometer, two small floats, one tank, and parts of a recording rain gauge.
It is believed that with such an apparatus infiltration rates can be determined with accuracy.
