Estimation of Soil Hydraulic Properties from Tension Infiltrometer Experiments
This study uses tension infiltrometer tests to assess the soil hydraulic characteristics at different sites in National Institute of Technology Rourkela campus. The main characteristics being examined are unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, saturated hydraulic conductivity, sorptivity, weighted pore size diameter. An important factor that describes the soil’s capacity to convey water under partial saturation is its unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. It is calculated by doing tension infiltrometer studies at various soil water potentials. On the other hand, saturated hydraulic conductivity indicates the soil’s capability to convey water while it is saturated and offers essential information about the soil’s ability to drain. Another crucial characteristic, sorptivity, measures how quickly water is absorbed into the soil from the surface. It aids in understanding the early phases of infiltration and is impacted by many elements, including the structure and texture of the soil. The current study attempts to measure these hydraulic parameters by stress infiltrometer studies at different sites within NIT Rourkela. The data acquired was analysed using proper statistical procedures to ascertain the average values and variances across the sites. By helping to understand better and simulate water movement in the vadose zone, this knowledge helps enhance agricultural practices and water management plans. This study offers a new understanding of unsaturated and saturated soils’ hydraulic conductivity, sorptivity, van Genuchten parameter and weighted pore size diameter. The research adds to the body of knowledge and has a variety of uses, including hydrological modelling, groundwater management and soil conservation techniques.
