2. OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES  To know the difference of Infiltration and Percolation  To understand the processes of Infiltration and Percolation  To gather informations in measuring both Infiltration and Percolation

3. - Its rate in soil science is a measure of the rate at which soil is able to absorb rainfall or irrigation

4. Process The available volume for additional water in the soil depends on the porosity of the soil and the rate at which previously infiltrated water can move away form the surface through the soil Infiltration capacity – maximum rate the water can enter a soil in a given condition INFILTRATIONINFILTRATION

5. Measurement TWO TYPES FLOODING TYPE RAINFALL SIMULATOR SINGLE RING INFILTROMETER DOUBLE RING INFILTROMETER - give lower values off than flooding type INFILTRATIONINFILTRATION

6. - The process of a liquid slowly passing through a filter. - Comes from the Latin word “percolare”

7. Process Usually the direction of water movement is changed from downwards, and a horizontal component is added to the movement that is based on the geological boundary conditions. PERCOLATIONPERCOLATION
