Function
Standard procedures for determining the level of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) within the unsaturated zone are often difficult to perform. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) can be determined by the constant-head well permeameter technique or the Amoozemeter in less than 30 minutes, using a few liters of water and small-diameter auger holes. The Amoozemeter or compact constant-head (CCH) permeameter is designed to maintain a constant height of water (>5 cm) at the bottom of a 4 to 10 cm diameter hole in the unsaturated zone, and measure the amount of water flowing into the hole. The main unit of the Amoozemeter is used for measuring Ks from the soil surface to a depth of 2 m. Cite error: Invalid parameter in <ref> tag
