Hunter, A. E., Chau, H. W. and Si, B. C. 2011. Impact of tension infiltrometer disc size on measured soil water repellency index. Can. J. Soil Sci. 91: 77–81. Accurate measurement of soil water repellency (or hydrophobicity) is important for assessing the hydraulic properties of soils. Water repellency index (RI), a measure of soil water repellency, can be determined using the tension infiltrometer. Little is known about the effects of different infiltrometer disc sizes on measured RI. Furthermore, the impact of method selection in the context of site assessment is unknown. The objective of th

Abstract:
We investigated differences between constant flux and constant potential methods for determining unsaturated hydraulic conductivity in the laboratory. A cheap and robust method was required. The constant flux drip infiltrometer has been used with large intact cores on a wide range of Australian soils. However, the method can be simplified by replacing the drip infiltrometer with a constant potential tension infiltrometer (disc permeameter). We conducted a series of measurements using 9 soil cores to determine whether the measured hydraulic conductivity differed with each method at matric poten

Abstract:
Abstract We developed an automated miniature constant-head tension infiltrometer that measures very small infiltration rates at millimetre resolution with minimal demands on the operator. The infiltrometer is made of 2.9 mm internal radius glass tube, with an integrated bubbling tower to maintain constant negative head and a porous mesh tip to avoid air-entry. In the bubbling tower, bubble formation and release changes the electrical resistance between two electrodes at the air-inlet. Tests were conducted on repacked sieved sands, sandy loam soil and clay loam soil, packed to a soil bulk densi

Abstract:
AbstractQuantitative data are needed to understand how alternative farming practices affect surface infiltration of water and associated surface soil properties. We used a rainfall simulator, double ring infiltrometer, small single ring infiltrometers, and tension infiltrometers to measure water infiltration for Clarion loam (fine-loamy, mixed, mesic Typic Hapludoll) and for Webster silty clay loam (fine-loamy, mixed, mesic Typic Haplaquoll) soils located on a conventionally-managed and an alternatively-managed farm in central Iowa.

Abstract:
A series of tension infiltration measurements have been made to derive saturated hydraulic conductivities and alpha (a) soil parameter values of a heterogeneous desert soil. Four diameter sizes, 8. 7, 20, 28.2, and 40 cm, were used, yielding saturated hydraulic conductivity values of 0.05, 0.09. 0.10, and 0.11 cm/min, respectively. These increasing mean hydraulic conductivity values with increased disc size are the result of improved sampling of the heterogeneous soil. Standard deviation values are 0.04, 0.03, 0.02, and 0.01, respectively. Respective a mean values for increasing di

A tension infiltrometer for field use, where both water level changes measurement and tension settings could be automated, was built in-house. Differential pressure transducers were used to automate the water level measurement in the reservoir. The Mariotte bottle was automated by a set of solenoid valves which were connected via tubing to pre-defined depths in the Mariotte bottle. Based on design parameters tested in the laboratory (sensor sensitivity, water reservoir diameter, and bubbling rate) three identical tension infiltrometers connected to a single Mariotte bottle were built.

Abstract:
Land application of wastes has become increasingly popular, to promote nutrient recycling and environmental protection, with soil functioning as a partial barrier between wastes and groundwater. Dairy shed effluent (DSE), may contain a wide variety of pathogenic micro-organisms, including bacteria (e.g. Salmonella paratyphyi, Escherichia coli. and Campylobacter), protozoa and viruses. Groundwater pathogen contamination resulting from land-applied DSE is drawing more attention with the intensified development of the dairy farm industry in New Zealand.

Worldwide there is considerable concern over the effects of human activities on the quantity and quality of freshwater. Measurement of infiltration behaviour will be important for improving freshwater management. This study identifies that New Zealand has a sporadic history of measuring soil water movement attributes on a limited number of soil types, although the current practical demand should be large for management of irrigation, dairy farm effluent disposal, as well as municipal / domestic waste- and storm-water disposal.
