Infiltration\/Permeability Devices come in different forms and measure slightly different things.<\/p>\n
We have three different types:<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Amoozemeter<\/a>\u00a0which has become a standard way of measuring flow in soils and has been used in many studies (eg.\u00a0Price and others, 2010<\/a>). A\u00a0Youtube\u00a0video<\/a> shows how to use this device. Instructions are: Sorptimeter Materials and Instructions<\/a><\/p>\n The mini disk infiltrometer<\/a> which has not been widely used<\/a>, but uses a small amount of water and allows water to be applied at a slight negative pressure (vacuum). This mini disk method is great for looking at water repellent or burned soils<\/a>, or studies where you want to exclude large pores.
