Relating Infiltration Capacity with Soil Properties
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
In the present scenario, Water crisis has become a major problem Infiltration is one of the major components of the hydrologic cycle, replenishes the ground water. The ability to quantify infiltration is of great importance in watershed management. Hence a study was done to determine the infiltration capacity and physical properties of soils in three different places in and around AUT, Tiruchirapalli. These places were parted based on the soil type and land terrain. The soil properties like texture, bulk density, porosity, pH value were found out from various tests. The infiltration capacity of the soil was determined by double ring infiltrometer test for each place. The lowest infiltration capacity (7.09cm/hr) was recorded in the AUT-T Main entrance (left). The interrelationship between soil properties and infiltration characteristic were depicted.
